Document Summary
Sagittal plane divides a specimen into a left and right portion. Csf, exchange and transport chemicals into and out of the brain (2 lateral ventricles, third and fourth ventricle connected to cerebral aqueduct) Cerebellum (important for balance), brain stem connects to the cerebrum and is important to vital functions: gyri are folds and sulci are grooves they are the cerebral cortex (grey matter) Ischemic stroke: blockage of blood vessel, more common: define each of the following terms within the nervous system: nucleus", ganglion", tract", and. Indicate specific examples of where each is located within the nervous system: gray matter: where cell bodies are found, unmyelinated axons, white matter: myelinated axons, nucleus: collection of neuron cell bodies in cns. Ganglion: collection of neuron cell bodies in pns. Diffusion tensor imaging: computer reconstructs axon bundles. Pet: glucose metabolism, allows for visualization for brain function fmri: series of mri images are taken to understand functional changes: differentiate between functional localizationism" and neuroplasticity".
