Primary sensory, primary olfactory and primary visual cortices. Association areas, multimodal association areas, motor areas and lateralization of corticol functioning.
Science
The Cerebral Hemispheres
The fissures, gyri and gray/white matter that further differentiate parts of the brain.
The Diencephalon
Very deep inside the brain, surrounded by the cerebral hemispheres is where we find the diencephalon. This structure surrounds the third ventricle and is primarily made of brain nuclei (gray matter). It is composed of three paired structures: Thalamus – 2 egg-shaped structures, you can only see one side in the pic below. Hypothalamus – […]
Acids and Bases
strong/weak bases, conjugate acid-base pairs, toxicity, neutralization reactions and a little bit about titration.
Concentrations, Molarity and Dilution
Concentration refers to the relative amount of solute or either solution or solvent. There’s a number ways to express concentration and one way is molarity. Other ways to express concentration are parts per million. When you hear about pollution or things like that, you’ll hear PPM of lead or whatever is in the air. Another […]
Colligative Properties of Solutions
Colligative Properties of Solutions Depends on concentration of dissolved particles: doesn’t mean if they are small or large or charge molecules, just the number of particles per solution. There are four properties. 1. Vapor Pressure. For the rate of vaporization and condensation, that’s going to depend on surface area. When you want to measure the […]
Solutions and Concentrations
About solutions, dissolving and stuff.
Chemistry: Gases, Liquids, Solids
Solids tend to create a crystalline structure while liquids are free to move around each other but still remain together. Gas molecules are separate from each other. Solids Liquid Gases Density (g/cm3) high high very low (g/L) volume/shape fixed fixed/container indefinite/container Compressibility very low very low high Properties of Gases Low Density Expand to fill […]
