Meninges
Located in the posterior part of the brain, primary visual cortex
Located in the most anterior part of the brain, responsible for behavior and movement
Located anterior to the occipital lobe, responsible for proprioception
Location is posterior to frontal lobe, primary auditory cortex
The pinial gland is part of the epithalamus
Sensory information passes through the Talamus
The hypothalamus consists of grey matter and is split by the third ventricle
Controls head and eye movement
The Medulla Oblongotta processes information from the spinal cord and cerebellum. Also it regulates things such as breathing.
Transfers motor information from the facial nerves to the brain
Function: recieves all sensory information from the spinal cord
Composed of white matter, involved in communication between the prefrontal cortex and cerebellum
Connects cerebellum to the midbrain
Is involved with propiocetion
Travels to the dorsal root ganglion
An anterior and posterior root combine to form a spinal nerve
A long thin strand of nervous tissue coming off of the conus medulars
Feeds into the cauda equina
Second to fifth lumbar spinal nerve pairs
Arachnoid Mater
Pia Mater
Dura Mater
Most superior layer, means Hard Mother in Latin
Transfers CSF from the ventricles to the bloodstream
Very vascular layer filled with capillaries
Receives blood from the brain and drains it into the internal jugular vein
Space between Arachnoid Mater and Pia Mater
outtermost space in the spinal cana
