KIN 190 Study Guide - Sciatic Nerve, Fourth Ventricle, Dendritic Cell
Document Summary
You should be able to: place the brain with respect to the nervous system (where is it and to what does it connect). Part of cns contained in cranium, control centre, cranial nerves part of pns, arise from brain/brainstem: know the names and basic roles of the parts of the brain: brainstem, cerebrum. Note: i made a mistake when i said diencephalon = midbrain. The developing embryonic brain has a forebrain, a midbrain and a hindbrain region. The diencephalon is part of the forebrain but. Because it"s in the middle of the adult brain i often say. Brainstem: connects spinal cord to brain, integration of survival reflexes. Cerebellum: involved in control of locomotion, posture, balance. Diencephalon: thalamus(influences mood), hypothalamus(maintains homeostasis), subthalamus(nerve tracts/nuclei), epithalamus(nuclei responding to olfactory stimulation: differentiate between spinal and cranial nerves, state where the nervous system and neural crest cells originate in the embryo. Neural folds form as parallel ridges along embryo, midline depression becomes neural groove.
