HUMB1000 Lecture Notes - Lecture 27: Parietal Lobe, Libido, Axon Terminal
Document Summary
Compendum 9 - how does it all work page 101. Medulla oblongata: autonomic reflect center maintaining body homeostasis, cardiovascular center. Regulates heart rate, force of heart contraction, and blood vessel diameter: respiratory center. Regulates rate and depth of breathing: other reflexes. Longitudinal tracts from the spinal cord to higher brain centers. Transverse tracts form the cerebrum (motor cortex) and cerebellum: sleep center. Midbrain: receives visual, auditory, and tactile sensory input generating reflex movements of the head, eyes, and body, controlling movement of the eye. Cerebellum: cerebellum = little brain, controls locomotion, in association with the cerebrum, controls fine motor control, controls posture and balance. Compendum 9 - how does it all work page 102: epithalamus, hypothalamus. Compendum 9 - how does it all work page 103: longitudinal fissure. Separates left and right hemisphere: lateral fissure. Separates temporal lobe from rest of the cerebrum: central sulcus. Separates frontal lobe from parietal lobe: precentral gyrus. Primary somatic motor cortex: postcentral gyrus.
