7.2.4 Describe the principal source of energy for brain cells
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTUGw9EzAX4
The brain obtains energy using glucose and oxygen, which pass rapidly
from the blood to the brain cells.
Glucose and oxygen are used to make ATP inside the brain by the process
of aerobic respiration.
Carbohydrate storage in the brain is limited, so the supply of glucose
must be continuous.
If blood entering the brain has low glucose or oxygen levels, mental
confusion, dizziness, convulsions, and loss of consciousness may occur.
mental confusion.
What may be the cause of these
symptoms?
7.2.5 Explain the function of the principal parts of the brain.
Principal part of the brain
Brain stem
Respiratory and cardiovascular control centres
Diencephalon
Thalamus - perception of sensations (pain, temperature, pressure); cognition.
Hypothalamus - control of autonomic nervous system (ANS), heart rate and
blood pressure, pituitary gland, body temperature, appetite, thirst, fluid and
electrolyte balance, circadian rhythms
Pineal gland (Endocrine system)
Cerebrum
Responsible for high-level brain functions such as thinking, language and
emotion, and motivation. The function is divided into three broad processes.
1. sensory (receiving sensory impulses)
2. association (interpreting and storing input, and initiating a response)
3. motor (transmitting impulses to effectors).
Although the lobes do not function independently, each lobe is associated
with certain aspects of the following processes.
Frontal lobe - many aspects of association such as reasoning and motivation,
planning, emotions and problem solving. Also contains the speech and
movement motor areas.
Parietal lobe - somatic sensory and motor areas linked to movement, body
awareness, orientation and navigation. Also contains symbolic and speech
association areas.
Occipital lobe - visual sensory and association centre.
Temporal lobe - auditory sensory and association area; many aspects of longterm and visual memory.
Limbic lobe - concerned with association processes such as emotion,
behaviour, motivation and long term memory.
Cerebellum
Helps to smooth and coordinate sequences of skeletal muscle contractions.
Regulates posture and balance. Makes possible all skilled motor activities,
form catching a ball to dancing.
