- Describe the positions and functional of important areas of the cerebral
cortex.
- Describe the location of the diencephalon, name its subdivisions and define
their functions.Pay special attention to function of hypothalamus.
- Identify the three major regions of the brain stem, and note the general
function of each area. Pay special attention to role of medulla oblongata.
- Describe the structure and function of the cerebellum.
- Describe the limbic system and the reticular formation and explain the
role of each functional system.
- Describe how meninges, cerebrospinal fluid, and the blood-brain barrier
protect the central nervous system.
- Name the cranial nerves and describe their pathways, receptors and effectors
innervated by each. Use this neural negative feedback loop template to demonstrate understanding of each cranial nerve.
