Nervous System Plaque Model Part 3 (copy)

1

left cerebral hemisphere, language

2

right cerebral hemisphere, associated with spatial processes

3

cerebral cortex (grey matter), higher brain functions like complex reasoning

4

cerebral white matter, propagates nerve impulses within brain

5

corpus callosum, allows communication between cerebral hemispheres

6

fornix, concerned with olfaction

7

choroid plexus, makes CSF

8

thalamus, relay station for sensation except smell

9

intermediate mass of the thalamus, connects thalamic lobes

10

pineal gland, produces melatonin

11

sinus rectus, involved in CSF flow

12

pituitary gland, produces hormones

13

midbrain, contains important autonomic centers

14

pons, connects brain with lower CNS centers

15

medulla oblongata, controls vital autonomic functions like heart rate

16

fourth ventricle, takes CSF from cerebral aqueduct to central canal

17

cerebellum, controls balance and equilibrium

19

spinal cord, reflex area

20

arachnoid mater, protects the brain by housing cushioning CSF

21

dura mater, protects the brain

22

eyeball, vision

23

tongue, taste
