Laboratory Exercises No. 13

The Nervous System
Description: The human brain simultaneously conducts and coordinates a variety of incredible
processes with which no computer is presently able to compete. The expansive development of the
human brain distinguishes it from that of all other creatures. One of the largest organs in the human
body, our brain is responsible for our memory, intellect, ideas, and behavior. The brain is the center
for cataloging sensory information, integrating this information with previously recorded information,
and producing actions based on the results of the information synthesis.

Instruction: The students are required to answer the following exercises.

I. Objectives: At the end of the activity, the students are able to:
1. Identify the major external and internal structures of the brain on a model.
2. Describe the basic functions of the principal structures of the brain.
3.

II. Materials:
1. Colored Pencils
2. Reference books

A. Fill in the numbered blanks with the name of the structure that corresponds with the number in
the following paragraph.

Fluid for the CSF is derived from the bloodstream. The sites of CSF formation are the (1), special tiny capillaries
located in the walls of (2), (3), and (4). Cells that line the ventricles have cilia that move the CSF and are called
(5). The two lateral ventricles are separated by a thin membrane called the (6). CSF flows by cilia movement
from the two lateral ventricles through the interventricular foramen to the (7). From here, the CSF flows through
the (8) into the fourth ventricle. The CSF leaves the fourth ventricle through three openings: the median
aperture and two lateral apertures. CSF is now located in the (9) space around the brain, and circulates all
around the cerebrum and cerebellum. CSF continues to flow into the inner part of the spinal cord by flowing
through the tiny (10) of the spinal cord, as well as around the exterior of the spinal cord in the (11) space.
Because CSF is continually being made at the rate of about 20 mL/hr, it has to exit back into the bloodstream by
being reabsorbed through the (12) that protrude into the dural venous sinuses. The venous sinus that overlies
the brain superiorly is called the (13).

B. Give the brain region for the functions described.

1. Contains vital centers that regulate heartbeat, breathing, blood

pressure, vomiting, coughing.
2. Smoothes and coordinates skilled skeletal muscle movement; also
posture and balance or equilibrium
3. Secretes melatonin that controls the sleep-wake cycle
4. Controls and integrates the autonomic nervous system; regulates
hormones, emotional behavior, temperature, eating, and drinking
behavior
5. Interprets sensory input, controls skilled skeletal muscle movements,
and is involved in emotional and intellectual processes
6. Helps control breathing; conducts impulses to and from the
cerebellum, midbrain, and medulla
7. Relays all sensory input to the cerebral cortex; involved in skeletal
muscle actions and memory processing
8. Coordinates visual and auditory reflexes
9. Coordinates gross, automatic muscle movements; also involved with
the limbic system
10. White fiber tracts communicating between hemispheres
