nervous system 3 physiology

Nervous System 3: The Central Nervous System

Outcomes

1.      Identify the components of the CNS as the brain and spinal cord

2.      Locate and outline the functions of the cerebral hemispheres, the diencephalon, the brain stem and the cerebellum

3.      Differentiate between the grey matter and white matter of the CNS and locate each within the brain and spinal cord

4.      Explain what are gyri and sulci

5.      Explain what are nuclei within the brain

6.      Explain that the cerebral cortex contains motor areas, sensory areas and association areas

7.      Locate the following motor and sensory areas and describe the role of each:

a.      Premotor cortex

b.      Primary motor area

c.      Broca’s ar

?
in regards to the primary motor cortex which is true
the homunculi represents the amount and location of cortical tissue devoted to each function
1 of 8
in regards to white matter of the internal part of the brain which is false
the corpus collosum is an example of a route for association fibres
2 of 8
the brain stem which is true
has grey matter contained in the white matter unlike the spinal cord
3 of 8
midbrain and pons which is false
pons houses cardiovascular centres
4 of 8
in regards to the medulla oblongata which is true
corticospinal tracts decussate here
5 of 8
the limbic system which is false
located on the lateral aspect of each cerebral hemisphere and diencephalon
6 of 8
ascending pathways to the brain which is true
2nd order neurons reside in the dorsal horns or the medullary nuclei then synapse in the thalamus or the cerebellum
7 of 8
in regards to descending pathways which is false
involve three neurons upper, middle and lower
