Biological Perspective Flashcards
Vesicle origin of the cerebrum.
Telencephalon
Vesicle origin of the interbrain
Diencephalon
Vesicle origin of the midbrain
Mesencephalon
vesicle origin of the pons and the cerebellum
Metencephalon
Vesicle Origin of the medulla/medulla oblongata
Myelencephalon
Small sac-filled fluid organ
Vesicles
Its major parts are the brain and the spinal cord
Central Nervous System
What are the two major divisions of the nervous system?
Central Nervous System (CNS) and Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)
What are the four major lobes of the cortex/cerebrum?
Frontal Lobe, Parietal Lobe, Temporal Lobe and Occipital Lobe
Starts in the third phase of the prenatal development, specifically the embryonic phase, the brain there is called the vesicles.
Central Nervous System
Houses major functions such as memory, speech, sense, and emotional response.
Cerebrum
Lobe that is responsible for thinking, planning, short term memory etc.
Frontal Lobe
Inability to speak due to the damage of the Broca’s area/frontal lobe
Broca’s Aphasia
Lobe that is also known as the somatosensory hub/center
Parietal Lobe
Largest part of the brain
Cerebrum
A lobe that houses majority of the executive functions of the brain (to command, to respond, to react, to plan)
Frontal Lobe
A lobe that is responsible for memories and auditory functions.
Temporal Lobe
Acts as the memory center
Temporal Lobe
A lobe that is also responsible for our personality
Frontal Lobe
Explain the case of Phineas Gage
He was a railroad man who got into an accident that brought damage to his frontal lobe. Upon digging a hole that has a powederized element/chemical, the rod he was using at that time entered his face, from his left cheek exited to his right skull. He survived the incident, however, there was 180 degrees shift on his personality. According to his close keens, he became hot-tempered, and often used obscene words after the incident.
Found in the temporal cortex which serves as the fear hub/center of the brain.
Amygdala
Found in the temporal lobe who is responsible in storing memories that has strong emotional attachment.
Amygdala
Term use to those individuals who do overthinking
Rumination
Amygdala Highjack
- Amygdala overtakes the prefrontal cortex in terms of managing the body.
- Failure to process or used his frontal lobe for decision making
