Is the function of corpus callosum and pons the same?
Answers
(LK) Cogs 107A Study materials for exam 1 10/4/2006
• Location terminology (rostral, caudal, anterior, posterior, lateral, medial, ventral, dorsal)
• Section definitions (midsagittal, parasagittal, coronal, horizontal)
• Lobes (frontal, temporal, parietal, occipital, limbic), regions in each, and dividing sulci (longitudinal fissure,
lateral (Sylvian) fissure, calcarine sulcus, central sulcus, parietooccipital sulcus)
• Major divisions of CNS: myelencephalon through telencephalon
• The meningeal layers and CSF – see lecture materials
• Location of four main ventricles, choroid plexus – see lecture materials
• Must know location (what major division of the brain they’re in AND be able to locate on drawing of
brain) and function of the following: medulla, pons, cerebellum, inf. and sup. colliculi,
hippocampus, thalamus, hypothalamus, amygdala, corpus callosum, limbic cortex,
basal ganglia, M1, S1, V1, A1, IT, Broca’s area, Wernicke’s area.
The meninges “PAD” the brain. Pia Mater, Arachnoid, Dura Mater
The meninges were discussed in lecture. Make sure you know the information which you were given.
Brain stem: The brainstem is located at the juncture of the cerebrum and the spinal column. It consists of the
midbrain, medulla oblongata, and the pons.
Limbic cortex, Components of limbic system - – see lecture materials
Answer:
Explanation:
There is a great difference between corpus callosum and pons varoli. Corpus callosum :- This is the thick band of nerve fibers present between the right and left hemisphere of the brain.
Pons Varolli - It is the band of fibres linking the medulla oblongata and the cerebellum with the midbrain.
