What are the four subdivisions of the brain? - (answers)cerebrum, diencephalon,
brainstem, cerebellum
What is gray matter? - (answers)short, nonmyelinated neurons and cell bodies,
some is organized into nuclei.
What is white matter? - (answers)myelinated axons
How is gray and white matter organized in the spinal cord? - (answers)Central
cavity surround with gray matter in a butterfly shape, which is surround with
white matter
How is gray and white matter organized in the brain? - (answers)Central cavity
surrounded with gray matter. Some nuclei scattered. outside of cerebrum and
cerebellum is covered in gray matter. Rest is white matter.
What are ventricles? - (answers)Spaces in the brain filled with cerebral spinal fluid
and lined with ependymal cells
What are the four ventricles of the brain? - (answers)two lateral ventricles, third
ventricle, fourth ventricle
What separates the two lateral ventricles? - (answers)septum pellucidum
,2|Page
Where is the third ventricle located? - (answers)diencephalon
Where is the fourth ventricle located? - (answers)between pons and cerebellum
Where are the lateral ventricles located? - (answers)cerebral hemispheres
What connects the third and fourth ventricles? - (answers)cerebral aqueduct
What are the 3 apertures and what do they do? - (answers)2 Lateral apertures & 1
median aperture connect the ventricles to the subarachnoid space
What are the lobes of the brain? - (answers)frontal, parietal, occipital, temporal,
insular
What separates gyri? - (answers)sulci
What separates the precentral and the postcentral gyrus? - (answers)The Central
Sulcus
What is the cerebral cortex and what does it do? - (answers)outer layer of the
cerebrum, responsible for conscious behaviour
,3|Page
what are the functional areas of the cerebral cortex? - (answers)Motor, Sensory &
Association
How is the brain contralateral? - (answers)Each hemisphere of the brain handles
sensory & motor functions of the opposite side of the body
How is the brain lateralized? - (answers)Although the brain is symmetrical, one
side might do more than the other.
Where are the motor areas? - (answers)posterior part of the frontal lobe
Where is the primary motor cortex located? - (answers)precentral gyrus
What does the primary motor cortex do? - (answers)Responsible for the control
of skeletal muscles.
What muscles need the most precise motor control? - (answers)The face, fingers
and the hands
Where is the premotor cortex located? - (answers)anterior to primary motor
cortex
, 4|Page
What does the premotor cortex do? - (answers)Helps plan movements by
selecting and sequencing basic motor movements into more complex tasks (e.g.
playing a musical instrument).
What is Broca's area responsible for? - (answers)Preparation of speech. ->
Organizes the making of sounds that will be heard as words
What does the frontal eye field do? - (answers)controls voluntary eye movements
Where is the primary somatosensory cortex? - (answers)postcentral gyrus
What does the primary somatosensory cortex do? - (answers)receives sensory
inputs from the skin, joints and muscles.
Important for proprioception
What is the somatosensory association cortex? - (answers)-Posterior to the
primary somatosensory cortex
-Integrates sensory input and determines size, texture, and relationship of parts
of objects being felt
What is the primary visual cortex - (answers)receives and processes incoming
visual information
