Motor Areas anterior part of each hemisphere
primary motor area controls voluntary contraction of specific muscles or
groups of muscles more area for muscles of skilled, complex, or delicate
movement Broca’s speech area
left frontal lobe for 97% of population planning and production of speech from Broca’s to
premotor area to motors of larynx, pharynx, mouth
primary motor area to control breathing muscles

Association Areas often adjacent to primary sensory areas usually receive input from both primary
sensory areas and other brain regions integrate sensory experiences to generate
meaningful patterns of recognition and awareness
damage to primary visual area of brain results in loss of vision
damage to visual association area would not recognize what they are seeing
4
Association Areas somatosensory association area
integrates and interprets sensations determines shape and texture of object without looking at
it determines orientation of one object with respect to
another as they are felt sense relationship of one body part to another storage of memories of past experiences to compare
current sensations with previous experiences visual association area
receives sensory impulses from primary visual area and thalamus
relates present and past visual experiences essential in recognizing and evaluating what is seen
5
Association Areas auditory association area
allows recognition of sound as speech, music, or noise Wernicke’s area
broad region in left temporal and parietal lobes interprets meaning of speech by recognizing spoken
words translates words into thoughts right hemisphere correspond to Broca’s and Wernicke’s
in the left contribute to verbal communication by adding
emotional content like anger, joy, or spoken words
6
Association Areas common integrative area
integrates sensory interpretations from all sensory association areas
allowing formation of thoughts based on variety of sensory inputs
transmits signals to other parts of brain to cause appropriate response
premotor area immediately anterior to primary motor area controls learned, skilled, motor activities of a complex
and sequential nature causes specific groups of muscles to contract in specific
sequence serves as memory bank for specific patterns of
movements
7
Association Areas frontal eye field area
controls voluntary scanning movements of eye reading for example
8
Hemispheric Lateralization functional asymmetry
each hemisphere also specializes in performing certain unique functions
appears at about 30 weeks in fetal development
left hemisphere receives somatic sensory signals from controls muscles on the right side of the body
right hemisphere receives and controls the left
9
Hemispheric Lateralization left hemisphere
reasoning, numerical and scientific skills spoken and written language ability to use and understand sign language
right hemisphere musical and artistic awareness spatial and pattern perception recognition of faces emotional content of language discrimination of different smells generating mental images of sight, sound, touch,
taste, and smell to compare relationships among them

Concept 13.6 Diencephalon
13
Diencephalon extends from brain stem to cerebrum surrounds third ventricle thalamus hypothalamus pineal gland
14
Thalamus 3cm in length 80% of diencephalon paired oval masses of gray matter
organized into nuclei interspersed tracts of white matter
intermediate mass crosses third ventricle joins left and right halves of thalamus
relays and processes sensory and motor information
15
Thalamus with other parts of the brain helps regulate
Midbrain conducts nerve impulses from cerebrum to spinal
cord, medulla, and pons peduncles have axons of sensory neurons
medulla to thalamus regions
corpora quadrigemina superior colliculi
reflex centers for some visual activities inferior colliculi
reflex centers for some reactions to auditory stimuli
29
Pons anterior to cerebellum inferior to midbrain 2.5cm long tracts that connect parts of brain
e.g. left and right cerebellum voluntary movements relayed from cerebral
cortex to cerebellum help control breathing
pneumotaxic area apneustic area

Medulla Oblongata inferior part of brain stem continuation of spinal cord 3cm from pons to foramen magnum all sensory and motor tracts connecting brain
and spinal cord pyramids
white matter bulges largest motor tracts 90% of left pass to right & right to left
cardiovascular and medullary rhythmicity areas
35
Reticular Formation small clusters of neuronal cell bodies within
small bundles of myelinated axons RAS
sensory axons that project cerebral cortex helps maintain consciousness active during awakening from sleep
RAS arouses cerebral cortex
motor tracts help regulate muscle tone
36
Concept 13.8 Cerebellum
37
Functions of Cerebellum anterior and posterior lobes govern subconscious
aspects of skeletal muscle movements flocculondular lobe on inferior surface contributes to
equilibrium and balance main function
cerebellum evaluates movements smoothes movements corrects errors coordinates sequence regulates posture and balance makes possible all skilled muscular activities

Concept 13.9 Spinal Cord
40
External Spinal Cord Anatomy roughly circular but flattened slightly in anterior-
posterior dimension ~2cm diameter
larger in cervical and lumbar enlargements smallest at inferior tip
adult spinal cord length from 42 to 45 cm from medulla oblongata to L2
filum terminale extension of pia mater extends inferiorly anchors spinal cord to coccyx

External Spinal Cord Anatomy
31 pair of spinal nerves exit vertebral column at intervertebral foramina each pair called spinal segment paths of communication roots
bundles of axons that connect peripheral nerves and spinal cord
posterior or dorsal root sensory neuron axons
anterior or ventral root motor neuron axons

Internal Spinal Cord Anatomyright and left sides anterior median fissure
deep and wide groove posterior median sulcus
shallower, narrower gray matter surrounded by white matter gray matter shaped like an “H” or a butterfly gray commissure
crossbar of H connects gray matter L & R sides central canal
contiguous with 4th ventricle white commissure
anterior to gray commissure connects white matter on L & R sides
45
Internal Spinal Cord Anatomy gray matter
cell bodies, neuroglia, unmyelinated axons of sensor neurons, dendrites of interneurons, motor neurons
divided into horns anterior horn
cell bodies of somatic motor neurons and motor nuclei
posterior horn somatic and autonomic sensory nuclei
lateral gray horns absent in cervical segments cell bodies of autonomic motor neurons
regulating smooth and cardiac muscle, and glands
46
Internal Spinal Cord Anatomy white matter
bundles of myelinated and unmyelinated axons of sensory neurons, interneurons, and motor neurons
divided into columns anterior, posterior, and lateral tracts having common origin or
destination and carrying similar information over long distances
sensory tracts toward CNS
motor tracts away from CNS
47
Concept 13.10 Spinal Cord Impulses
48
Sensory Tracts
spinothalamic tracts and posterior columns lateral and anterior spinothalamic tracts
pain, warmth, coolness, itching, tickling, deep pressure, crude poorly localized sense of touch
right and left posterior columns proprioception, discriminative touch, two point
discrimination, light pressure and vibration sensations

Motor Tracts
down spinal cord in two pathways direct pathways
impulses destined to cause precise, voluntary movements of skeletal muscles
indirect pathways govern automatic movements help coordinate body movements with visual
stimuli major role in equilibrium my maintaining skeletal
muscle tone and contraction of postural muscles

Spinal Reflexes
spinal reflex integration occurs in spinal cord gray matter
