| What are the four major parts of the brain? | Cerebrum, Diencephalon, Brain Stem, Cerebellum |
| How is the brain protected? | Meninges: Dura, Arachnoid, and Pia mater...in that order |
| Which is the meninges known as the tough mother? | Dura mater |
| Which is the meninges known as the spider mother? | Arachnoid mater? |
| Which mater touches the brain gently? | Pia mater |
| Which disease is caused my an inflammation of the meninges? | Meningitis |
| Which disease is caused by an increase of the cerebral spinal fluid flowing around the brain, spine, and around the meninges layers? | Encephalitis |
| Elevated ridges of the brain? | Gyri |
| Furrows of the brain? | Sulci |
| Deep grouves in the brain? | Fissures |
| Biggest fissure separating the right and left hemispheres? | Longitudinal fissure |
| The longitudinal fissure is incomplete because the ____________ holds the hemispheres together... | Corpus collusum |
| Smaller sections of the cerebrum are called... | Lobes |
| The frontal lobe is responsible for | concentration and problem solving |
| The temporal lobe is responsible for | Remembering and interpreting visual and auditory patterns, part of how we speak |
| The occipital lobe is responsible for | vision |
| The parietal lobe is resonsible for | speech, motor movement, and sensations |
| The left side of the brain controls the ________ side of the body. | Right |
| The dominant hemisphere in most people is the... | Left |
| Broca's and Wernicke's areas are for | Speech |
| Basil Nuclei | regulate voluntary motor activity |
| Motor cortex | Controls non-reflex muscle movement |
| Huntingtons disease | unable to control muscle movement. Too many. Brain may be releasing too much dopamine, medication blocks the amount. |
| Parkinsons Disease | Trouble starting muscle movement. Lack of dopamine. |
| Cerebellum | coordinates balance and movement |
| Pons | Controls breathing |
| Medulla oblongata | controls heart tate, blood pressure (bp), swallowing, vomitting, and breathing |
| Midbrain | connects cerebrum to the rest of the nervous system |
| Choroid Plexus | makes cerebral spinal fluid |
| Diencephalon | Makes hormones |
| Includes the thalamus, hypothalamus, and pituitary | Diencephalon |
| Contution | Brain damage: grey cells |
| Concussion | Brain trauma: white cells |
| CUA or stroke | Ischemic or hemmoragic |
| Mirror Nerurons | Empathy |
