- 6HindbrainCerebellum- Coordinates Movement
Medulla- Autonomic fxns (breathing, HR, BP)
Pons- Relays signals between cerebellum, medulla, rest of brain; sleep, resp, swallow, taste, bladder control, balance - 7MidbrainInferior Colliculus- Processes auditory signals, sends them to MGN in the thalamus
Superior Colliculus- Process visual signals, control eye movements - 8Forebrain- Structures (12)Amygdala, Basal Ganglia, Frontal Lobe, Occipital Lobe, Parietal Lobe, Temporal lobe, Hippocampus, Hypothalamus, Pineal Gland, Post Pit, Septal Nuclei, Thalamus
- 9AcetylcholineMuscle contraction at NMJ,
in all autonomic outputs from brain to autonomic ganglia
Postgang Parasympathetics - 10DopamineReward and motor pathways
Parkinsons and the loss of dopaminergic neurons in substantia nigra - 11EndorphinPain suppression; euphoria
- 12EpinephrineCome on
- 13GABAMain inhibitory neurotransmitter in CNS
Hyperpolarizes to reduce APs
Assoc with physiological effects of booze - 14GlutamateMost common NT, excitatory. 90% of brain cells use this
- 15GlycineInhibitory NT of Spinal cord and BS; works in conjunction with GABA
- 16NorepinephrinePostgang sympathetics
- 17SerotoninIntestinal movement in the GI tract;
mood, appetite, sleep in brain
Depressive mood disorders correlate with low levels - 18OxytocinFrom Post Pit
During Childbirth
=Uterine contract, emotional bonding
Peptide hormone - 19ADHVasopressin; post pit
When there's high plasma osmolality (blood too concentrated)
Makes you retain water by increasing aquaporin channels in the collecting duct
DCT
Peptide Hormone - 20OsmolalitySolution concentration as the number of solutes per kilogram
Blood is too concentrated, ADH makes kidneys reabsorb water--> conc urine, more water in blood, BP up - 21FSHFrom Ant Pit
Responds to GnRH
Females: follicle growth, germ cell maturation
Males: Spermatocyte development, germ cell maturation - 22LHFrom Ant Pit
Reponse to GnRH
and in Females, IRT Estrogen spike from follicle before ovulation
Males- Leydig cells= test
Females: Ovulation--> Follicle becomes corpus luteum
Glycoprotein hormone
