In: Anatomy and Physiology
Brain -
Medulla oblongata - it is part of brain stem, responsible for the involunatary funtion, like vomiting to sneezing.
Pons - it is also part of brain stem. It conatins various vital centres of body like, respiratory centre.
Cerebrum - It is the laregest part of the brain, having right and left hemisphere. It is for higher function. Like conciouness, orientation, cognition and also sensory and motor corte.
cerebellum - It is posteriorly located part of brainstem. helps in co-ordination of movement.
Cerebral aqueduct - It is channel connecting 3rd and 4th ventricle. It helps in passage of CSF.
Thalamus - two oval structures made up of gray matter at the base of the cerebrum. They act as relay nucleus for the various singnal.
Pineal gland - small pea shaped gland in the brain. Regulates hormone melatonin for circadian rhythm.
Hypothalamus - located below thalamus and above piturtary. Its hormone controle secretion of pitutary hormone.
Pituitary gland - pea-sized gland that plays a major role in regulating vital body functions. It is master endocrine gland of the body. It secretes GH, LH, FSH, TSH, ACTH.
Infundibulum - It is stalk of pitutary gland. It connects posterior pitutary to hypothalamus.
Gyrus - Folds over the suface of brain.
Sulcus - Grooves in the surface of brain cortex. Helps in increasing surface area of brain.
Lateral ventricles - These are two cavities in the cerebral hemisphere. It contains CSF, clear, watery fluid that provides cushion to brain.
4 th ventricle - 2 Lateral ventricle, 3rd ventricle and 4th ventricle. These are cavities in Forebrain, Midbrain and hindbrain. All are connected to each interventricular foramen and aqueduct.
longitudinal fissure - deep grove on the surface of brain. It seperate the two cerebral hemisphere.
Ear
Pinna/ Auricle - It forms the outer ear.
Vestibules - It is part of inner ear, for balance.
Stapes - Smallest ear ossicle. for amplifying & transmitting sound.
Malleus - Hammer shaped Ear ossicle in middle ear.
Incus - shaped like an anvil, and has a long and short crus extending from the body
External auditory canal - It is outer cartilagenous and inner bony. function in transmitting the sound to middle ear.
Eustachian tube - tube connecting pharynx to middle ear. Provides ventilation to inner ear.
Tympanic membrane - Thin membrane between external ear and middle ear.
Semicircular canals - Are linear for angular acceleration detection.
Cochlea - sensory organ for hearing.
Vestibulocochlear nerve - connect the inner ear to brain.
