Document Summary
Language areas: temporal lobe, auditory processing, primary and secondary auditory cortices, language comprehension, wernicke"s area, language production, broca"s area. Ventricular system: choroid plexuses in ventricles produce cerebral spinal fluid (csf), filling ventricles, absorbed from. Four ventricles and central canal of the spinal chord continuous with subarachnoid space subarachnoid space. Functions: brain growth, protection against extrenal trauma, removal of metabolites created from neuronal and glial cell activity, transport of biologically. Sheep brain lab report: choose one brain area, methods: describe the dissection using two of the planes that were used during the sheep brain. Focusing on the autonomic nervous system: division of peripheral nervous system, consists of sympathetic and parasympathetic branches, unsconscious mostly. Roles: maintains homeostasis, responds to stressors, controls involuntary processes including, repiration, heart rate sweat production. Sympathetic: respiration and heart rate quicken, muscles tense, examples. Sweat glands secrete sweat, which increases skin conductance: dialates pupil, relaxes bronchi, accelerates heart.
