Gross Anatomy

Corpus Callosum

________: Huge bundle of axons that connects the 2 hemispheres of the cortex.

Thalamus

________: Relay Station /filter for sensory information on its way to the cortex.

Pituitary Gland

________: Hormone Producing (makes and releases hormones) into the bloodstream.

vital relflexes

Medulla: controls ________ (breathing, heart rate)

Cerebrospinal Fluid

________ is what flows through ventricles, then through the brain, and then absorbed into blood circulation.

Hypothalamus

Involved in drive related behaviors and maintenance of homeostasis.

Pineal Gland

Makes and secretes melatonin (for sleep)

Cerebellum

movement and coordination (rate, range, force, and direction)

MidBrain

Reflexive orienting to vital and auditory stimuli, intrinsic, descending pain control system (2 major sources of dopamine)

Olfactory Bulb

Processes sense of smell.

Ventricles

________ are a network of hollow spaces that holds and creates Cerebrospinal Fluid.

________: brain ares, connections between ares, and types of

Similarities between Human and Animal Brains

_______: brain sizes, development of specific parts olfactory bulb, auditory cortex.
