9.11 The Meninges Dura mater - outermost layer Arachnoid mater - no blood vessels, in between layer (resembles a spider web) Pia mater -inner membrane, contains nerves and blood vessels to nourish cells

Spinal Cord passes down the vertebral canal, has 31 segments (each with a pair of spinal nerves) Cervical enlargement = supplies nerves to upper limbs (neck) Lumbar enlargement = supplies nerves to the lower limbs (lower back) FUNCTION: conducting nerve impulses, serves as a center for spinal reflexes
8
ASCENDING - impulses travel to the brain (sensory) DESCENDING - impulses travel to the muscles (motor)
9
Spinal reflexes - reflex arcs pass through the spinal cord
11
THE BRAIN ANATOMICAL REGIONS o Cerebrum o Cerebellum o Brain Stem
12
CEREBELLUM Balance and coordination
13
CEREBRUM - wrinkly large part of the brain, largest area in humans, higher mental function
14
Brain Stem - regulates visceral functions (autonomic system)
16

17
1. Cerebral Hemispheres - left and right side separated by the.... 2. Corpus Callosum - connects the two hemispheres

Corpus callosum
21
3. Convolutions of the Brain - the wrinkles and grooves of the cerebrum Fissures = deep groove Sulcus = shallow groove Gyrus = bump
22
4. Fissures – separate lobes Longitudinal fissure - separate right and left sides
23
Transverse Fissure - separates cerebrum from cerebellum
24
Lateral Fissure separates the temporal lobe from the Frontal and Parietal lobes
26
Lobes of the Brain (general functions) 5. Frontal – reasoning, thinking, language 6. Parietal – touch, pain, relation of body parts (somatosensory) 7. Temporal Lobe – hearing 8. Occipital – vision
27

28
9. Cerebral Cortex - thin layer of gray matter that is the outermost portion of cerebrum (the part with all the wrinkles)
29
Functional and Structural Areas of the Cerebral Cortex Figure 13.11a

Fluid filled cavities, contain CSF 10.VENTRICLES OF THE BRAIN
32
11. Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) - fluid that protects and supports brain Figure 13.27b
33
FUNCTIONAL REGIONS A. MOTOR AREAS B. SENSORY AREAS C. ASSOCIATION
34
12. Motor Areas - controls voluntary movements - the right side of the brain generally controls the left side of the body -also has Broca's Area (speech)
35
13. Sensory Area - involved in feelings and sensations (visual, auditory, smell, touch, taste)
36
14. Association Areas - higher levels of thinking, interpreting and analyzing information
37

38
Consists of three parts: MIDBRAIN PONS MEDULLA OBLONGATA
40
5. Midbrain – visual reflexes, eye movements 6. Pons - relay sensory information 7. Medulla – heart, respiration, blood pressure Cerebellum - balance, coordination
41
2. Hypothalamus - hormones, heart rate, blood pressure, body temp, hunger 3. Thalamus - relay station 1. Diencephalon has 2 parts.....
42
4. Optic Tract / Chiasma - optic nerves cross over each other
43
Pituitary Gland The "master gland" of the endocrine system. It controls hormones.

9. HIPPOCAMPUS Memory is controlled by the HIPPOCAMPUS ( “ sea horse ” ; that ’ s its shape). The hippocampus plays a major role in memories.
48
10. The LIMBIC SYSTEM The LIMBIC SYSTEM plays a role in EMOTION also includes olfactory lobes - memory, emotion, and smell are linked. Crayolas are created today with the same scent because it reminds people of their happy times in childhood. Why is the brain formed so that smell and emotions are tied together? Because pheromones are tied to emotions and behavior, so they need the link.
49
MEMORY We used to classify memory as being long-term or short-term. The new classification is four memory systems that process information for storage and retrieval: Types of Memory: Short vs Long Term
51
How important are your memories? If you were involved in a traumatic event, such as a rape or a terrorist attack, would you take a pill that would make it so that you did not remember the event? http://psychcentral.com/news/2011/0 5/27/drug-metyrapone-to-erase-bad- memories/26532.html
52
Involved in remembering personal experiences, such as a phone conversation you had yesterday or the movie you watched last week. Challenge: Do you remember the first Harry Potter movie? What was the story? How many details do you remember? Episodic Memory
53
Semantic Memory Manages the storage and retrieval of general knowledge of facts, such as the number of days in a year or the colors in a rainbow. Naming objects is also semantic memory. Semantic Memory Tasks 1. What do you call this thing? 2. Where do Kangaroos live? 3. What actor played Bella in Twilight?
54
Procedural Memory Allows us to learn activities and skills that will then be performed automatically with little or no conscious thought. Examples are riding a bicycle or driving a car. Challenge: 1. Can you make a teacup with a length of string? 2. Do you know how to use a can opener?
55
Working Memory provides temporary storage and manipulation of the information necessary for such complex cognitive tasks as language comprehension, learning, and reasoning. Working Memory Test Memory Game Another Memory Game
56
Memory - Sometimes it's good to forget things.. why? http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=memory- brain-tour-videohttp://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=memory- brain-tour-video Video on memory and where memories are stored and retrieved.
