New cards
fourth ventricle
The structure between the brain stem and the cerebellum
2
New cards
medulla oblongata
The region of the brain that connects the spinal cord to the brain
3
New cards
optic nerve
Nerve that carries visual information
4
New cards
Cerebrum
the most complex part of the brain, Conscious thought
5
New cards
Olfactory Nerve
Nerve composed of sensory fibers for the sense of smell and is located in the roof of the nasal cavity
6
New cards
Oculomotor Nerves
Nerve that innervates for extrinsic eyeball muscles
7
New cards
hypoglossal nerve
this nerve is positioned more to the midline than the other cranial nerves on the medulla
8
New cards
Lateral Ventricles
One in each Cerebral hemisphere, extend deep into the cerebrum as horseshoe-shaped chambers
9
New cards
interventricular foramen
CSF circulates from the lateral ventricles through this...
10
New cards
third ventricle
A small chamber within the diencephalon
11
New cards
Mes. Cerebral Aqueduct
CSF in the third ventricle passes through this structure of the mesencephalon
12
New cards
Trochlear Nerve
The nerve that supplies motor fibers to the superior oblique muscle of the eye and originates where the mesencephalon joins the pons
13
New cards
Pons
Part of the brain that is superior to the medulla and functions as a relay station to direct sensory information to the thalamus and cerebellum
14
New cards
Mesencephalon
Part of the brain that is located superior to the pons. Covered by the cerebrum.
15
New cards
Cerebellum
Inferior to occipital lobe of the cerebrum
16
New cards
Penial Gland
A nipple like structure superior to the mesencephalon positioned between the cerebrum and the cerebellum
17
New cards
Motor nerves
Cranial nerves that primarily conduct motor commands
18
New cards
Trigeminal Nerve
The largest cranial nerve
19
New cards
Septum pellucidum
It is a thin membrane that separates the lateral ventricles
20
New cards
fornix
The inferior portion of the corpus callosum
21
New cards
Abducens nerve
Nerve that controls the lateral rectus extrinsic muscle of the eye
22
New cards
Facial Nerve
Nerve located on the medulla oblongata, posterior and lateral to the abducens nerve
23
New cards
Vestibulocochlear Nerve
This nerve is also called the auditory nerve, is a sensory nerve of the inner ear located on the medulla oblongata near the facial nerve
24
New cards
Diencephalon
Part of the brain that is embedded in the cerebrum and is visible only from the inferior aspect of the brain
25
New cards
Glossopharyngeal nerve
A mixed nerve of the tongue and throat
26
New cards
Vagus Nerve
This nerve is a complex nerve on the medulla oblongata that has mixed sensory and motor functions
27
New cards
Corpus Callosum
The cerebral hemispheres are connected by a thick tract of white matter called this
28
New cards
Accessory Nerve
This nerve is a motor nerve controlling the skeletal muscles involved in swallowing and the sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscle of the neck
