What is the cerebrum? The cerebrum or endbrain makes up the main part of the human brain. It consists of a right and a left half (hemisphere), the two connected by the bar (corpus callosum). Apart from the bar, there are other (smaller) connections (commissures) between the two halves of the brain. External division of … Cerebrum: Function, Structure, Damages
The amounts of fluid we drink every day must be excreted again through the urinary tract. The discharge from the body takes place through the emptying of the bladder – micturition. What is micturition? In medical jargon, the term micturition stands for the emptying of the urinary bladder. The term micturition in medical jargon stands … Micturition: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
The amounts of fluid we drink each day must be excreted through the urinary tract. The discharge from the body takes place through the emptying of the bladder – micturition. What is micturition? Schematic diagram showing the anatomy and structure of the urinary bladder. Click to enlarge. In medical jargon, the term micturition refers to … Micturition (Urination): Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
Without the parietal lobe, humans would not be able to perform spatial reasoning, haptic perceptions, or the controlled execution of hand and eye movements. The cerebral area, which is particularly important for sensory perception, lies between the temporal, frontal, and occipital lobes and, as part of the central nervous system, can be involved in many, … Parietal Lobe: Structure, Function & Diseases
Brain lateralization refers to the structural and functional differences between the hemispheres of the cerebrum. Functional differences crystallize a left-hemispheric dominance in language processes. In childhood brain lesions, the hemispheres compensate for the damage entirely. What is brain lateralization? Brain lateralization refers to the structural and functional differences between the hemispheres of the cerebrum. The … Lateralization of the Brain: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
The archicortex is a part of the cerebrum. The largest part of it is formed by the hippocampus. It consists of a very characteristic cortical structure. What is the archicortex? Archicortex is the name given to a part of the cerebral cortex. It is delineated as the medial border of the neocortex. The archicortex has … Archicortex: Structure, Function & Diseases
The metathalamus is a component of the diencephalon and participates in visual and auditory information processing]. Lesions in this area of the brain can accordingly cause visual and auditory disorders due to, for example, strokes, [[circulatory disorders]], increased intracranial pressure, neurodegenerative diseases, tumors, and traumatic brain injury. What is the metathalamus? The metathalamus is an … Metathalamus: Structure, Function & Diseases
The superior constrictor pharyngis muscle is a skeletal muscle of the pharynx and consists of four parts. It closes the entrance to the nose during swallowing. Paralysis of the soft palate and certain neurologic diseases can disrupt the closure and contribute to dysphagia. What is the superior pharyngis constrictor muscle? The superior constrictor pharyngis muscle, … Superior Constrictor Pharyngis Muscle: Structure, Function & Diseases
Gray matter is an important component of the central nervous system and significantly determines its functions. The brain‘s intelligence performance is particularly associated with the gray matter. However, in addition to intelligence, it controls all perceptual processes and motor performance in humans. What is gray matter? The central nervous system is composed of both gray … Gray Matter: Structure, Function & Diseases
Newborns have a variety of unconscious motor response patterns to specific stimuli during the first weeks and months of life. The grasping reflex is one of these and consists of a forceful grasp with the hand when touched and pressure is applied to the palm. The toes and the sole of the foot also curl … Grasping Reflex: Function, Tasks, Role & Diseases
The temporal lobe is the second largest lobe of the cerebrum. It performs several important functions. What is the temporal lobe? The temporal lobe is also known as the temporal lobe, temporal brain, or temporal lobe. It forms part of the cerebrum and is its second largest lobe after the frontal lobe. The temporal lobe … Temporal Lobe: Structure, Function & Diseases
The language center consists primarily of the Wernicke and Broca areas in the cortical region of the cerebrum and frontal lobe. While the Wernicke area is responsible for semantic language processing, Broca’s area is primarily responsible for syntactic and grammatical language production. Inflammation– or hemorrhage-related damage in one of the areas manifests in speech comprehension … Language Center: Structure, Function & Diseases
