Part of brain that is most important for vision?
the occipital lobe, located in the back portion of the skull right above the neck
Where in the brain are phallic messages sent?
There are many parts of the brain that are involved: bilateral inferior temporal cortex,right insula, right inferior frontal cortex, left anterior cingulate cortex, right occipital gyrus, right hypothalamus and the left caudate (the striatum).To sum it up, the temporal (visual memories and emotion), frontal (reward and motivation), occipital (vision) regions and the hypothalamus (hormone release) are the parts of the brain where phallic messages are sent.
Does the brainstem control sight?
No. Your Occipital Lobe does. Your brain stem is in charge of making sure your sugar levels in your blood are right, keeps your heart beating, and makeing sure you blink.
Is the brain divided into three hemispheres each responsible for different functions?
The brain can be divided into two hemispheres: the left and right brain. The left brain controls the right side of the body, and the left brain controls the right side of the body. There are different ways to divide the brain: Four lobes (frontal, parietal, occipital, temporal) Three.. somethings (cerebrum, cerebellum, brain stem/medulla) Three brains (forebrain, midbrain, hindbrain) Two hemispheres (left, right)
Which joint is present in the neck region?
The joint between the skull (occipital bone) and first vertebrae (atlas) is a condyloid joint (the condyles are on the occipital bone). This joint allows your head to lean forward and backward. The joint between the first vertebrae and second vertebrae (axis) is a pivot joint, which allows you to turn your head to look left or look right. (The pivot is the dens of the axis.) The other intervertebral joints I do not think fall into a clear classification, although whatever text you are using might try to put them into one category or the other for illustrative purposes. The whole column is basically held together by many ligaments, with discs between each vertebrae, which allows for a wide range of motion. The sacral and coccygeal joints, however, are fused.
What are the pathway of a drop of blood from the aorta to the left occipital lobe of the brain and What are the structures through which it flow?
The drop of blood travels as follows: From the aortic arch to the left subclavian artery. Then through the left vertebral, passing though the transverse foramina of the cervical vertebrae (from C6-C1) At the C1 level the vertebral arteries travel across the posterior arch of the atlas before entering the foramen magnum into the skull. From here, it merges with with that vertebral artery on the right side to become the basilar artery. The blood then travels through a branch of the basilar known as the posterior cerebral artery. This artery's branches are divided into two sets, the ganglionic branches and, the cortical branches. The particular artery largely supplying the occipital lobe is known as the parietoöccipital or parieto-occipital artery, and is a cortical branch.
How does a drop of blood get from the aorta to the left occipital lobe?
To travel from the aorta to the left, or right, occipital lobe, it would have to go through the aortic arch, common carotid artery, external carotid artery, then occipital artery.
What side of occipital lobe sees for right eye?
The left side.
What is the main function of the Occipital lobe?
The occipital lobe processes visual information in the brain. The peristriate region of the occipital lobe discriminates between colors and processes movement. The visual cortex (outermost portion of the occipital lobe) is divided into 5 distinct layers (V1 to V5), and each layer discerns and processes a different type of visual characteristic, all integrated together to generate visual perception.
What is septal infarct?
It's when the wall between the left and right ventricles of the heart has an infarction.
What is septal wall infarct?
It's when the wall between the left and right ventricles of the heart has an infarction.
What is multifocal areas of cortical scarring involving the right kidney?
You have scars in many places on the outer layer (cortex) of the right kidney. There can be many reasons for this.
I am aware that there are two occipital condyles but the one on the right sticks out more it is more prominent Is this normal?
yes
What Functional losses can be observed if injury to the right occipital lobe of the cerebral cortex?
The occipital lobe decodes and interpret the visual information. So the patient would experience some loss sight.
What are the two bones that are anterior to the occipital?
The two (left and right) parietal and the temporal bones are anterior (closer to the front of the body).
Part of brain that is most important for vision?
the occipital lobe, located in the back portion of the skull right above the neck
What is the name of a triangle which has a right interior angle?
a right triangle
