Instructions for Side by Side Printing
  1. Print the notecards
  2. Fold each page in half along the solid vertical line
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal dotted line
  4. Optional: Glue, tape or staple the ends of each notecard together
  1. Verify Front of pages is selected for Viewing and print the front of the notecards
  2. Select Back of pages for Viewing and print the back of the notecards
    NOTE: Since the back of the pages are printed in reverse order (last page is printed first), keep the pages in the same order as they were after Step 1. Also, be sure to feed the pages in the same direction as you did in Step 1.
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal and vertical dotted line
To print: Ctrl+PPrint as a list

35 notecards = 9 pages (4 cards per page)

The nervous system Part II

front 1

Longitudinal Fissure

back 1

is the deep groove that separates the right and left hemispheres of the brain.

front 2

Transverse Fissure

back 2

is the deep groove that separates the cerebrum from the cerebellum.

front 3

Gyri

back 3

are the raised ridges or folds on the surface of the brain.

front 4

Sulci

(space in between)

back 4

are the shallow grooves or indentations between the gyri of the brain.

front 5

The frontal lobes are responsible for

back 5

motor activities, conscious thought, and speech, personality, planning, and impulsiveness

front 6

Posterior to the frontal lobe

The parietal lobe are responsible for

back 6

body sense, perception, and understanding language

front 7

Occipital lobe

back 7

responsible for vision

front 8

temporal lobes

back 8

involved in hearing and the integration of sensory information and memory

front 9

The insula

back 9

known as the 5th lobe, help coordinate autonomic(visceral) functions, emotion processing, taste perception, interoception(awareness of internal body sensations), Pain perception, Anxiety & addiction pathways, It connects emotional experience with physical sensations.

front 10

precentral gyrus

back 10

is the primary motor cortex of the brain.

It controls voluntary skeletal muscle movement, Sends signals to skeletal muscles, Contains the motor homunculus

front 11

postcentral gyrus

back 11

is the primary somatosensory cortex of the brain.

It is responsible for processing sensory information from the body

front 12

Brocas area located in the frontal lobe

back 12

controls motor output for speech

front 13

Wernickes area located in the parietal and temporal lobes

back 13

controls sensory aspects of language, including understanding

front 14

Cerebellum

back 14

posterior to the brain stem and plays an important role in sensory and motor coordination, balance, and cognitive functions

front 15

The brain stem last part

Medulla oblongata

back 15

responsible for impulses that control heartbeat, breathing, and the muscle tone in blood vessels, which controls blood pressure

front 16

The brain stem

Superior to the medulla oblongata

The pons

back 16

connects the medulla oblongata and the cerebellum with the upper portions of the brain, they also play a role in breathing

front 17

The brain stem

Top of the brain stem

midbrain

back 17

acts as a two way conduction pathway to relay visual and auditory impulses and other information to the cerebrum

front 18

The brain stem

back 18

receives sensory information and contains control systems for vital functions such as blood pressure, heart rate, and breathing, this controls the vital functions of life

front 19

The four fluid filled cavities in the brain are called

back 19

ventricles, they allow for the culation of cerebrospinal fluid throughout the brain

front 20

The corpus callosum

back 20

thick band of white matter fibers that connects the right and left cerebral hemispheres, It allows the two sides of the brain to communicate and share information.

front 21

The thalamus

back 21

replays and processes information going to the cerebrum

front 22

Hypothalamus

back 22

regulates hormone levels, temperature, water balance, thirst, appetite, sleep wake cycles and some emotions( pleasure and fear); regulates the pituitary gland and controls the endocrine system

front 23

Pineal Body

back 23

responsible for secretion of melatonin(body clock)

front 24

Pituitary gland

back 24

secretes hormones for various functions

front 25

The basal nuclei are

back 25

clusters of gray matter located deep within the cerebral hemispheres.

front 26

Somatic sensory system

back 26

provides sensory input for your nervous system to

front 27

Somatic sensation

back 27

allows you to feel the world around you

crude touch, vibration, pain, temperature, and body position

front 28

Somatic nervous system

back 28

controls voluntary movements under orders from the cerebral cortex

front 29

Limbic system

back 29

controls emotion and mood

front 30

The basal nuclei (also called basal ganglia) are

back 30

are deep clusters of gray matter that help control and fine-tune movement.

front 31

The thalmus, basal nuclei, and cerebellum are all apart of the

back 31

motor coordination loop

front 32

Limbuc system

back 32

mood, emotion and memory

front 33

Stoke or Cerebral Vascular accident(CVA)

back 33

is caused by disruption of blood flow to a portion of the brain due to either hemorrhage or blood clot

front 34

Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA)

back 34

It happens when there is a temporary blockage of blood flow to the brain, but the blockage resolves before permanent damage occurs.

front 35

huntingtins disease

back 35

a progressive disorder causing deterioration of neurons in the basal nuclei and eventually of the cerebral cortex
