Study Notes
Meninges Layers
- The meninges layers, from superficial to deep, are dura mater, arachnoid, and pia mater.
Cerebral Cortex
- The cerebral cortex is not made of myelinated axons.
Brain Lobes and Functions
- Frontal Lobe: Responsible for reasoning, decision-making, and planning.
- Temporal Lobe: Controls emotions and memories.
- Occipital Lobe: Processes visual information.
Diencephalon Structures
- The diencephalon includes the thalamus, hypothalamus, and pineal gland.
Brain Stem Function
- The brainstem controls involuntary activities like posture, breathing, and heart rate.
Cerebellum and Muscle Memory
- The cerebellum is responsible for coordinating body movements, including muscle memory, allowing for easy and automatic execution of learned actions like a basketball jump shot.
Brain Structures and Functions (Matching)
- Thalamus: Relays information from the peripheral nervous system (PNS) to the cerebrum.
- Hypothalamus: Controls the pituitary gland and autonomic processes.
- Brainstem: Located above the spinal cord, it controls involuntary activities.
- Fissure: A deep groove that separates major brain regions.
- Cerebrum: Composed of two hemispheres.
- Cerebellum: Coordinates body movements and is responsible for muscle memory.
- Ventricles: Spaces filled with cerebrospinal fluid.
- Gyrus: A "hill" on the brain's surface.
- Chemoreceptors: Present in taste buds.
- Organ of Corti: Transforms sound waves into neural signals.
- Otoliths: Crystal salts involved in balance.
