Chapter 13: Important Terms for CNS
17
ChemicalSynapse : Uses neurotransmitters released into synaptic cleft.
ElectricalSynapse : Uses gap junctions.
BloodBrainBarrier : Controls passage of materials from blood into interstitial fluid.
Cerebospinalfluidbarrier : Controls passage of substances from blood into CSF.
Cerebrum : Largest part of the brain. Aka "Seat of Intelligence"
WhiteMatter : Impulse propagation between spinal nerves and brain.
GrayMatter : Information integration.
Sensory : Areas involved with perception.
Motor : Areas that initiate voluntary movements.
Association : Areas that deal with complex integrative functions.
Thalamus : Sensory perception and regulation of motor function
Hypothalamus : Regulates homeostasis, produces hormones involved in reproductive cycles, regulates hunger and thirst, and circadian rhythms.
PinealGland : Releases melatonin.
Midbrain : Several masses of gray matter; Neurons release dopamine.
Pons : Bridge between medulla oblongata and midbrain.
Medulla Oblongata : Regulates rate/force of heartbeat, diameter of blood vessels, coughing, sneezing, vomiting.
ReticularActivatingSystem : Maintains consciousness and helps maintain attention and alertness.
Cerebellum : Compares intended movements with what is actually happening. Aka "Ancient" or "Reptilian" brain.
LimbicSystem : Controls emotions, behaviors, and memory.
