The Brain and Cranial Nerves Ch. 19 Major Brain Subdivisions • Cerebrum • Diencephalon – Hypothalamus and Thalamus • Brain Stem – Midbrain, pons, medulla oblongata • Cerebellum Cerebrum • Processes: – motor control, thoughts, judgment, problem solving, memory, and language • Left & Right Hemispheres – longitudinal fissure separates hemispheres – Gyri: elevated ridges – Sulci: shallow grooves – Fissures: deeper grooves Cerebrum • Corpus callosum: – Bundle of axon fibers that enables communication between the hemispheres • Cerebral cortex: outermost area of brain – cell bodies of cerebral neurons (gray matter) • White matter: – Made of fiber tracks carrying impulses to or from the cortex Diencephalon Consists of: • Thalamus – Translates information for interpretation by cerebral cortex • Hypothalamus – Translates electrical signals into hormones Brain Stem Consists of: • Midbrain – connects the pons below with the cerebrum above • Pons – means bridge – motor and sensory fiber tracts connecting or bridging the brain to the lower CNS • Medulla oblongata – lowest brain stem region. It is composed mainly of fiber tracts Cerebellum • Function: – Coordination and integration of sensory input and motor control (controls balance and equilibrium) Meninges • Brain and Spinal cord are protected by 3 connective tissue membranes – Dura Mater – Arachnoid Mater – Pia Mater Cerebral Spinal Fluid • Fluid – inside the brain found in ventricles – Outside the brain is found in arachnoid layer • Prevent brain from collapsing in on itself • Shock absorption Cranial Nerves • Twelve pairs of cranial nerves arise from the brain • They have sensory, motor, or both sensory and motor functions • Each nerve is identified by a number (I through XII) and a name Functions of Nerves I. II. III. Olfactory - sense of smell Optic - vision Oculomotor Nerve - movement of eyelid and eyeball, constriction of pupil and accommodation of lens for near vision IV. Trochler Nerve - movement of eyeball V. Trigeminal - chewing (motor) and sensory VI. Abducens Nerve - lateral movement of eyeball VII. Facial Nerve - Facial expression, taste, tears VIII. Vestibulocochlear Nerve - hearing, equilibrium IX. Glossopharyngeal Nerve - taste, swallowing, speech X. Vagus Nerve - taste, swallowing, talking XI. Accessory Nerve - swallowing, SCM, trapezius muscles (neck muscles) XII. Hypoglossal Nerve - tongue movement Some Say Marry Money But My Brother Says Big Brains Matter Most Mnemonics for Cranial Nerves 1) On occasion our trusty truck acts funny -very good vehicle anyhow 2) Oh oh oh to touch and feel very green vegetables ah Summary of Function of Cranial Nerves Some Say Marry Money But My Brother Says Big Brains Matter Most Figure 13.5b
