BIOL 207 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Parieto-Occipital Sulcus, Cerebral Peduncle, Postcentral Gyrus
Document Summary
Cerebrum: general, 2 cerebral hemispheres & 4 lobes, principal fissures and sulci. Friday, november 13, 2015: functional localization areas of the cerebrum. Broca"s area/motor speech area - usually on left side only. Pineal body (epiphysis: thalamus (important relay station of sensory pathways - located in the wall of the. Intermediate mass: within the 3rd ventricle - connects the walls of the thalamus. 3rd ventricle: hypothalamus (has many nuclei that control temperature regulation, hypophysis, and coordination of ans) Mammillary bodies: receive fibers from olfactory tracts. Infundibulum: stalk of hypothalamus tissue that connects to the pituitary gland. Note: a, b, & c are associated w/ the hypothalamus, but not part of it: other items. Cerebral aqueduct: runs through midbrain and connects the 3rd & 4th ventricles. Cerebral peduncles: consist of nerve tracts that travel to and from the cerebral hemispheres: pons (contains fibers that connect the cerebellum and the medulla with the cerebrum, medulla oblongata.
