What part of the brain is this?

• Called the master gland
• Has 2 parts - anterior and posterior
• Hypothalamus controls its activity
• It secretes a variety of hormones into the bloodstream which act as messengers to transmit information from the pituitary gland to distant cells, regulating their activity.

What are the 3 parts of the brainstem?

What is this structure of the brain?

• located in brain stem
• It processes information to and from the spinal cord and cerebellum
• Helps regulate breathing, heart and blood vessel function, digestion, sneezing, and swallowing.

What is this structure of the brain?

• Largest part of the brain stem.
• Group of nerves that help connect different parts of the brain.
• They are involved in facial movements and transmitting sensory information.

What is this structure of the brain?

• Part of the brain stem

What are elevated ridges "winding" around the brain?

What are small grooves dividing the gyri?

What are deep grooves, generally dividing large regions/lobes of the brain?

What is fissure A?

The ___________ arises about the middle of the hemisphere, and separates the frontal lobe from the parietal lobe.

What is fissure B?

The ___________ separates the temporal lobe from the frontal and parietal lobs.

What is fissure C?

The ___________ separates the cerebral hemispheres.

What is fissure D?

The ___________ separates the parietal lobe from the occipital lobe.

What is this sulcus?

It separates the fusiform gyrus and the hippocamal gyrus on the lower surface of the temporal lob

What is this sulcus?

This groove is located in the occipital lobes and divides the visual cortex.

What is this gyrus? This fold in the parietal lobe is the area of the brain that assists in processing auditory and visual stimuli. It is also involved in language comprehension.

What is this gyrus? This area of the brain, located in the left frontal lobe in most individuals, controls motor functions involved with speech production.

What is this gyrus? This bulge, located in the temporal and occipital lobes, consists of lateral and medial parts. It is thought to play a role in facial and word recognition.

What is this gyrus? This arch-shaped fold in the brain is located above the corpus callosum. It is a component of the limbic system that processes sensory input concerning emotions and regulates aggressive behavior.

What is this gyrus? This coil of the occipital lobe is involved in visual processing. The lingual gyrus is bordered by the calcarine sulcus and collateral sulcus. Anteriorly, the lingual gyrus is continuous with the parahippocampal gyrus and together they form the medial portion of the fusiform gyrus.

The brain and spinal cord are protected and cushioned by three connective tissue membranes that are collectively called ________.

Which one of the following represents the correct sequence from most superficial to deepest layers of the meninges?

What is #2?

• This layer is filled with an intricate "web" of collagen.
• Thin, transparent membrane that surrounds the spinal cord like a loosely fitting sac.

What is #1?

• the toughest and outermost layer of the meninges, lies directly underneath the skull
• Made of dense irregular CT
