Cerebrospinal fluid p 215-216 Composition Functions Made in the ventricles of the brain
The Brain p212 Cerebellum Divisions of the brain Cerebrum Diencephalon Brain stem Midbrain Pons Medulla oblongata Cerebellum Corpus callosum
External surface of the brain p217 Cerebrum Frontal lobe Parietal lobe Temporal lobe Occipital lobe
Diencephalon p220 Contains Thalmus Hypothalmus Pituitary gland
The Brain Stem p220 Midbrain Pons Medulla Oblongata
Cerebellum p221 Coordinates voluntary muscles to ensure smooth orderly function Helps maintain balance when standing, walking, sitting Helps maintain muscle tone
Brain studies p221 CT MRI PET EEG
Disorders of the brain: p221 Meningitis Hydrocephalus Cerebral vascular accident Epilepsy Tumors Disorders of the brain: p221
Brain injury p225 Epidural hematoma: bleeding between the dura mater and the skull Subdural hematoma: bleeding in the subdural space
Degenerative diseases p225 Alzheimer’s disease Parkinson’s disease
Cranial nerves p227-228 12 pair of cranial nerves are identified by Roman numerals
Cranial Nerve Disorders p229 Glaucoma: destruction of optic nerve (II) Decreased hearing/deafness: destruction of vestibulochochlear nerve (VIII)
Aging and Nervous system p229 The nervous system decreases in size Speed of processing declines Vascular degeneration Age makes it more difficult to acquire new skills, but practice (repetition) enhances skill learning
