Document Summary
Objectives: describe the structures of the ventricles and explain which adult brain structures each ventricle serves. Identify the structures and basic functions of the cerebrum, diencephalon, brainstem, cerebellum, and spinal cord. Describe the location of cns structures relative to one another along the rostral-caudal axis: explain the significance of the pre- and post-central gyri. Explain why most spinal cord segments are located superior to their respective vertebrae: predict if a spinal cord tract is motor or sensory if given only the name of the tract. Textbook problems: pg 426 #1, 2, 5, 7. Lecture #1 https://mediasite. video. ufl. edu/mediasite/play/56d7a3d3315a4df1ba8dc8e4a1abc6a81d: 2 organs that make up cns are brain and spinal cord. Important directional terms for cns: rostral vs. caudal, rostral = towards snout, nose, caudal = towards tail. Insular lobe = deep lobe to temporal lobe, deep in lateral sulcus: longitudinal fissure = separates cerebrum into hemispheres, runs length of brain, precentral gyrus.
