35
New cards

Autonomic nervous system consists of the

sympathetic system and parasympathetic system

36
New cards

The Autonomic nervous system is located in the

prefrontal cerebral cortex and subcortical regions

37
New cards

Sympathetic nervous system

Fight, Flight, and Freeze

38
New cards

Parasympathetic nervous system

slows heart rate, constricts pupils, and lowers blood pressure

39
New cards

The Somatic Nervous system is made up of

skeletal muscles, pyramidal or direct system, extrapyramidal or indirect system, and conscious or controlled movements.

40
New cards

Pyramidal or Direct system

control of conscious controlled skilled movement

41
New cards

Extrapyramidal or Indirect system

control of background, supportive movements

42
New cards

Embryonic period

Weeks 1–8 of development

43
New cards

Fetal period

Weeks 9–37 of development

44
New cards

What embryological structure does the nervous system develop from?

The neural plate

45
New cards

Neural tube

A structure that begins forming by about 4 weeks gestational age and gives rise to structures of the nervous system

46
New cards

When does the neural tube begin forming?

Around 4 weeks gestational age (GA)

47
New cards

What develops from the neural tube?

Structures of the nervous system

48
New cards

Neural crest cells

Cells that move to the periphery of the neural tube and form structures including the cranial and spinal nerves

49
New cards

What happens around 4 weeks to the neural tube?

It “pinches” to form three bulges

50
New cards

Three primary brain vesicles- P

Prosencephalon

51
New cards

Three primary brain vesicles- M

Mesencephalon

52
New cards

Three primary brain vesicles- R

Rhombencephalon

53
New cards

Prosencephalon

The forebrain; develops into the telencephalon and diencephalon

54

<p>Prosencephalon- develops into the (1) T</p>

Prosencephalon- develops into the (1) T

telencephalon

55
New cards
<p>Prosencephalon- develops into the (2) D</p>

Prosencephalon- develops into the (2) D

diencephalon

56
New cards

Prosencephalon develops into:

Telencephalon + Diencephalon

57
New cards

Telencephalon

Develops into the cerebral hemispheres and subcortical structures

58
New cards

Cerebral hemispheres

The two major halves of the cerebrum

59
New cards

Subcortical structures

Structures located below the cerebral cortex.


60
New cards

Diencephalon

Develops into structures including the thalamus, hypothalamus, and pituitary gland

61
New cards

Thalamus

A major structure that develops from the diencephalon

62
New cards

Hypothalamus

A structure that develops from the diencephalon

63
New cards

Pituitary gland

A structure associated with the diencephalon in the slide's developmental organization.

64
New cards

Mesencephalon develops into:

midbrain

65
New cards

Midbrain

Part of the brainstem

66
New cards

Cerebral peduncles

Structures associated with the midbrain that connect to the cerebellum according to the slides

67

Myelencephalon

69
New cards

Metencephalon

Develops into the pons and cerebellum.

70
New cards

Pons

A structure that develops from the metencephalon.


71
New cards

Cerebellum

A structure that develops from the metencephalon

72
New cards

Myelencephalon


Develops into the medulla oblongata

73
New cards

Medulla oblongata

A structure that develops from the myelencephalon
