A 61 year-old patient is admitted to the hospital after suffering a stroke…

- - - - Frontal Lobe functions: Primary motor cortex, Premotor cortex, Frontal Eye field, Motor speech area (broca area)
    - - Insula Functions: Primary gustatory cortex.
    - - Parietal Lobe functions: Primary somatosensory cortex, Somatosensory association area.
    - - Temporal Lobe functions: Primary auditory cortex, Auditory association area, Primary olfactory cortex.
    - - Occipital Lobe Functions: Primary visual cortex, Visual association area.
  - - - Hemorrhagic Strokes: A hemorrhagic strokes occur when an artery in the brain leaks blood or ruptures. the leaked blood puts too much pressure on brains cells, which damages them.
      - Ischemic Strokes: Most strokes area ischemic strokes. Which happens when blood flow through an artery that supplies oxygen-rich blood to the brain becomes blocked.
  - - - Pons:
      - Medula oblongata:
      - Midbrain:
    - - Thalamus: paired oval masses of gray matter on lateral walls of third ventricle. Located between anterior commisure and pineal gland. Thalamus functions: principle and final relay point for incoming sensory information where is processed and projected to primary somatosensory cortex. Information filter, e.g. "filters out" sounds in a busy cafeteria while you study.
      - Hypothalamus: anteroinferior region of the diencephalon. Infundibulum-thin stalk extending from hypothalamus to pituitary gland. Functions of the hypothalamus: Master control of the autonomic nervous sytem -influences heart rate, blood pressure, digestive activities, and respiration. Master control of the endocrine system - secrets hormones that control activities in pituitary gland. Regulation of body temperature.
      - Epithalamus: Forms partial posterior roof of diencephalon and covers third ventricle. -Posterior portion houses pineal gland and habenular nuclei. -Components of epithalamus, pineal gland (endocrine gland that secretes hormone melatonin, helps regulate day-night cycles known as body's circadian rhythm.
    - - Cerebellar Cortex: (outer gray matter) surrounds internal region of white matter called arbor vitae because it resembles a tree.
