2. Name themajor parts of the adult brain.
3. Name anddescribe the locations of the ventricles of the brain.
4. Describe thebasic distribution of gray and white matter ineach part of the brain.
5. Identify thethree subdivisions of the brain stem, and list the major structuresin each.
6. Relate thestructures of the brain stem to the generalfunctions of this part of the brain.
7. Describe thestructure and basic function of thecerebellum.
8. Name thethree divisions of the diencephalon and their functions.
9. Define lobe, sulci, gyrus and fissure. List themajor lobes, fissures, and functional areas of thecerebral cortex. . Define homonculus and note whethersensory or motor has a larger area for the foot and face (figure13.14 (6th edition figure 13.19))
10. Name three classes offiber tracts in the white matter of the cerebrum.
12. Describe the locationsand basic functions of the limbic system and thereticular formation.
13. Describe the meningealcoverings surrounding the brain, and explain how the meninges andcerebrospinal fluid protect the structures of the central nervoussystem. Describe the role of the three (3) “maters”relative to their basic structural properties (e.g. tough,etc.).
14. Explain howcerebrospinal fluid is formed, and describe its pattern ofcirculation.
15. Describe the grossstructure of the spinal cord.
16. Identify the regions of white matter and gray matter in a crosssection through the spinal cord. (figures 13.4 (13.3 in7th, 8th editions) , 13.26, 13.27(6th edition figures 13.8, 13.3, 13.4). What are thegray and white matters? Note the basic locations of the cell bodiesrelative to their functions (SS, VS, VM, SM in figure 13.27(6th edition figure 13.4 ). Compare to Figure 13.26a(6th edition figure 13.3a) and comment on whether theVisceral, “V”, and motor “M” are more or less protected inthe vertebral column and in body.
17. Describe theorganization of the neurons in the gray matter of the spinalcord.
18. Most of what youneed to answer this is in Figures 13.29, 13.30, 13.28, 13.27 (usein that order) and Tables 13.3 and 13.4. (In the6th edition use in the same order as just listed for the7th, 8th, 9th editions; howeverfor 6th these are Figures 13.31, 13.32, 13.30, 13.4 andTables 13.6 and 13.7)
a. Trace the major neuronal pathways to and from the brain.Include the name of the Pathway (or Tract), whether thetract is ascending (sensory) or descending (motor), what itbasically does (e.g. type of stimulus) , and where it decussates(i.e. crosses the midline, which not all cross).
b. Write a few sentences about what happens if only thedorsal white matter is damaged on only ONE side of the spinal cord,including whether or not both sensory tracts are impacted on thatside of the body AND whether or not motor control damaged. HINTS:Follow the path of each in the Figures 13.29 and 13.30 along withwhere they are in 13.28. For this Objective or the test or examquestions, you don’t have to memorize all of all of the the paths,but you should know whether or not each descussates and whether ornot it is close to where it enters the spinal cord or in anotherpart of the CNS or not at all along with basically what it does.Rather than memorizing, try a few examples of areas on your bodyand think about what would be lost in terms of motor and differenttypes of sensory information with spinal cord injury that justinjures a part of the spinal cord in variouslocations.
19. Trace the major neuronalpathways to and from the brain. (Deleted, included with #18)
20. Explain the effects ofsevere injuries to the spinal cord.
21. Describe the signs,symptoms and causes of concussions (traumaticbrain injuries), strokes, and Alzheimer’s disease.
22. Describe causes andconsequences of the congenital disorders anencephaly, cerebralpalsy, and spina bifida.
23. Explain the effects ofaging on brain structure.
3. Name anddescribe the locations of the ventricles of the brain.
4. Describe thebasic distribution of gray and white matter ineach part of the brain.
