What is the funtion of CSF?

protects brain from movement of the skull + vertebral column -> brain floats

buoyancy -> weight brain is reduced

5.

What is hydrocephalus?

Result from blockage of CSF through CNS (cerebral aqueduct)

9.

What is structure of brain sterm

Anterior part: contain descending tracts involved with motor control

Posterior: contain ascending tracts from the spinal cord, cerebellum and craial nerve

10.

what are funtions of Brain stem

Control of hear rate, blood pressure, breathing

11.

Part of the brain stem

Midbrain

Smallest region of brain stem

Composed of tracts of nerve fibers

12.

what is corpora quadrigemina

the largest midbrain nuclei

13.

What are 2 superior colliculus?

Visual reflexes

14.

What are 2 inferior colliculus?

Auditory reflexes

15.

Midbrain contain pain perception

Receptors respond to opiates (thuoc phien)

16.

Part of the brain stem

Pons(bridge)

  • Cerebral cortex communicate with pons
  • Some nuclei relay info between cerebrum and pons
  • lower part of pons control balance, breathing, swallowing,
17.

part of brain stem

Medulla Oblongata

  • Most inferior portion of brain stem, continuous spinal cord.
  • Ra[idly fatal
18.

What are funtions of Medualla Oblongata

  • Heart rate control
  • Blood pressure regulation
  • Breathing
  • Vomiting (non)
19.

What is Reticular Formation?

  • Begins at upper portion of medulla
  • Some in brain stem
  • Damage can result in coma opposite
    half of the body
20.

Funtion of Reticular Formation

  1. regulation of sleep
  2. arousal (hung phan)
  3. maintaining consciousness.
21.

Part of the brain stem

Cerebellum

(little brain) smaller version of cerebrum

22.

What part cerebellum attach to brain stem

Cerebellar peduncle

23.

What is Cerebellar peduncle

  1. Superior cerebellar peduncle: connecting with the midbrain
  2. Middle cerebellar peduncle: connecting with the pons
  3. Inferior cerebellar peduncle: connecting with the medulla oblongata
24.

Gray matter of cerebellum

consists of outer cortex and nuclei deep within the cerebellum

25.

White matter of cerebellum

consists of tracts collectively called arbor vitae

26.

Parts of Cerebellum

Flocculonodular lobe, vermis, lateral he,ispheres

27.

Flocculonodular lobe:

• a small inferior part

• Help control balance and coordination

• Alcohol depresses cerebellum so, drinking driver test walking with imbalance

28.

Lateral hemisphere

two large hemispheres

29.

Funtion of lateral hemisphere

concert with the frontal lobes of
the cerebral cortex in planning, and learning complex movements.

30.

Part of brain stem

Diencephalon

Location: between brain stem and cerebrum

Main components: the thalamus, epithalamus, and hypothalamus

31.

what is Thalamus

  • The largest part if the diencephalon
  • shape liek yo yo
  • collection of sensory input
32.

What is Interthamaic adhesion of thalamus ?

a small stalk in the center connecting two
lateral portions

33.

What does Sensory area do?

Ascending axons carrying sensory information project to the thalamus

34.

How does Sensory area work?

they synapse with thalamic neurons -> thalamic neurons send their axons to the cerebral cortex -> most awareness of sensory input occurs.

(audiotory, visual,, pain, touch pass through thalamus)

35.

What is Epithlamus ?

Small area, superior and posterior to the thalamus

36.

What does Epithalamus consit ?

habenular nuclei and pineal body

37.

What is habenular nuclei

influenced by the sense of smell

involved in emotional

visceral responses to odors. (mui hoi)

38.

What is pineal body

Influence the sleep-wake cycle

39.

What is Hypothalamus

The most inferior part of the diencephalon •

A collection of nuclei: connect to many other parts of the brain and spinal cord

Involved with autonomic, endocrine, emotional (limbic system)

40.

Autonomic nervous system (ANS)

helpingcontrol heart rate, blood vessel diameter, urine release from the urinary bladder, and the movement of food through the digestive tract.

41.

Limbic system

HT is a part of the limbic system and affects mood, motivation, and emotions.

Feeling relaxed, sexual pleasure, rage, and fear are related to HT

42.

What is Mammillary body?

involved in emotional response to order, olfactory
reflexes and memory

43.

Cerebrum

Logitudinal fissure: divide into left and right hemispheres

44.

Frontal lobe

voluntary motor function, motivation, aggression, the sense of smell, and mood.

45.

Parietal lobe

the reception and evaluation of most sensory information, such as touch, pain, temperature, balance, and taste.

• The frontal and parietal lobes are
separated by the central sulcus.

46.

Occipital lobe

reception and integration of visual input.

47.
