Study Notes
Brain Structure and Functions
- The cerebrum constitutes 80% of the total brain weight.
- The outer layer of the cerebrum is called the cerebral cortex.
- The brainstem is responsible for subconsciously regulating the internal environment.
- The cerebellum is NOT included in the forebrain.
- The cerebellum is involved in the coordination of voluntary movements and balance.
- The vestibular system in the inner ear, along with the cerebellum, is responsible for the balance of the body.
- The thalamus plays a role in transmitting sensory information to the cerebral cortex.
- The thalamus functions as a relay station for sensory information.
Brain Components and Functions
- The white matter in the cerebral cortex mainly consists of myelinated axons.
- The cerebellum is involved in subconscious actions.
- The hypothalamus is responsible for regulating body temperature and thirst.
- Most cranial nerves originate from the brainstem.
- The Primary Motor Cortex is located in the frontal lobe of the cerebrum.
- The occipital lobe is responsible for vision.
- Damage to the right motor cortex results in paralysis or weakness on the left side of the body.
- The Area of Smell is located in the temporal lobe of the cerebrum.
- The parietal lobe contains the Somato Sensory Cortex.
