Anatomy and Physiology: The Unity of Form and Function
(Ch. 14)
Rostral - (correct Answer) - "towards the nose"
Caudal - (correct Answer) - "towards the tail"
Cerebrum - (correct Answer) - Makes up about 83% of brain volume and consist of a pair of half globes
Cerebral Hemispheres - (correct Answer) - Half globes of the cerebrum
Gyri - (correct Answer) - Thick folds in the cerebrum
Sulci - (correct Answer) - Shallow grooves in the cerebrum
Longitudinal Fissure - (correct Answer) - A very deep groove separating the right and left hemispheres
from each other
Corpus Callosum - (correct Answer) - Thick bundle of nerve fibers connecting the two hemispheres
Cerebellum - (correct Answer) - Occupies the posterior cranial fossa inferior to the cerebrum and
constitutes about 10% of brain volume and holds over 50% of its neurons
Brainstem - (correct Answer) - Made up of 4 parts:
1. Diencephalon
2. Midbrain
3. Pons
4. Medulla oblongata
Forebrain - (correct Answer) - Top of the brain which includes the thalamus, hypothalamus, and cerebral
cortex; responsible for emotional regulation, complex thought, memory aspect of personality; includes
the diencephalon
Cortex - (correct Answer) - The tissue forming the outer layer of an organ or structure in plant or animal
Nuclei - (correct Answer) - Collections of nerve cell bodies in the central nervous system
Tracts - (correct Answer) - Bundles of axons
Neural Plate - (correct Answer) - Thickened region of ectoderm formed by the third to fourth week of
embryonic development, which develops into the neural tube
Neural Groove - (correct Answer) - Shallow groove formed along the longitudinal axis of the neural folds
Neural Fold - (correct Answer) - During embryonic life the fold created when the neural plate expands
