Answer 35

Involved in sleep, dreaming and arousal/awareness

Question 36

What is the function of 4?

Answer 36

Filters and transfers all sensory information (except smell) to relevant parts of the brain for processing.
Transfers neural information (concerning alertness and attention) from the Reticular Formation to the cerebral cortex.

Question 37

What is the function of 9?

Answer 37

Maintains the body’s internal environment (homeostasis)
e.g. temp, emotions, hormones, hunger and thirst, sexual functioning

Question 38

What is the function of the reticular formation?

Answer 38

Filters incoming sensory information so the brain is not overloaded
Maintains consciousness, regulates arousal and muscle tension

Question 39

Which structures make up the Forebrain?

Answer 39

Cerebrum, Hypothalamus, Thalamus

Question 40

Which structures make up the Midbrain?

Answer 40

1. Reticular Formation (extends into the Reticular activating system/ RAS)

Question 41

Question 42

What is the difference between the Cerebrum and the Cerebellum?

Answer 42

Cerebrum is the largest brain region, top part of the brain, part of the forebrain. Divided into 4 lobes and 2 hemispheres.
The cerebellum is located towards the back of the brain (just above brainstem) in the hindbrain.
