Document Summary

3. 01 describe the organization of the mammalian nervous system. 3. 02 identify components of the central nervous system. 3. 03 describe the organization of the brain and identify its embryological development and origins. 3. 04 discuss the basic form and function of the telencephalon, diencephalon, mesencephalon, metencephalon and mylencephalon. 3. 06 describe the route of csf circulation in the mammalian brain. 3. 07 describe the function and composition of csf. 3. 09 describe the anatomy and function of the dural venous sinuses. 3. 10 define cerebrum, sulci, gyri, nuclei, grey matter, white matter, cerebral hemispheres, longitudinal fissure, central sulcus, precentral gyrus, postcentral gyrus, somatic, visceral. 3. 11 identify the frontal, temporal, occipital and parietal lobes of the cerebrum and discuss how each lobe contributes to maintaining homeostasis. 3. 12 describe the basal nuclei and indicate its function. 3. 13 discuss the limbic system in regards to emotions, memory and olfaction. 3. 14 identify the basal nuclei and limbic system anatomically. 3. 16 briefly describe the function of the thalamus.
