some brain functions  

1.       Choroid plexus- ependymal cells. Produce CCF. In ventricles

2.       Septum pellucidum- membrane dividing 1st and 2nd ventricles

3.       Corpus callosum- thick nerve band. allows left and right hemispheres to communicate

4.       Fornix- connects the hippocampus (memory) to the hypothalamus

5.       Lateral ventricle

6.       Cerebral cortex

7.       Cerebrum- movement, sensory processing, olfaction, language and comm., memory & learning

8.       Cerebellum- muscle movement, balance, intentional movement, learning motor skills

9.       Occipital lobe- visual processing

10.   Parietal lobe- coordinate spatial relations (touch)

11.   Frontal lobe- emotional control center, forming our personality and influencing out decisions

12.   Temporal lobe- interpreting the sounds and the language we hear

13.   Pineal gland- regulates sleep cycle

14.   Optic chiasm

15.   Optic nerve

16.   Optic tract

17.   Olfactory tract

18.   Mamillary body- memory processing

19.   Corpus quadrigemini -

20.   Superior colliculus- centers for optic reflexes

21.   Inferior colliculus- auditory reflexes

22.   3rd ventricle

23.   Cerebral aquaduct

24.   4th ventricle

25.   Interventricular foramen

26.   Spinal cord

27.   Medulla oblongata- HR, breathing, swallowing, vomiting

28.   Pons- reflex centers, relay bt cerebellum and cerebrum

29.   Midbrain- visual reflex, auditory center

30.   Diencephalon

31.   Thalamus- mood and movement

32.   Hypothalamus- homeostasis and endocrine function

33.   Infundibulum

34.   Dura mater

35.   Arachnoid mater

36.   Pia mater

37.   Longitudinal fissure

38.   Transverse fissure

39.   Gyri

40.   Sulci

CHS Anatomy and Physiology Seniors  

As discussed in class, we will be moving on with chapter 6 this week.  I will be in my room at 7am this week to go over the chapter 6 power point and discuss the chapter.  If able, I encourage you to attend!!
