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
