Anatomy and physiology: Week 9

Brain Physiology

Using the South University Online Library or the Internet, research about the brainstem, cerebellum, and cerebrum. Based on your research and understanding, respond to the following:

• Analyze the three sections of the brain stem, their individual functions, and their component role in brain physiology.
• Categorize the brainstem, cerebellum, and cerebrum in terms of anatomy and functions.
• Evaluate the functions of the ventricles of the brain and the choroid plexus, including their role in the formation and maintenance of CSF.
• Distinguish the cranial nerves and categorize if the nerve is sensory, motor, or mixed and its major function(s).
