Answer 1

grey matter in both cerebral hemispheres, involved with emotion, especially fear.

Question 2

associative areas

Answer 2

responsible for thoughts, memory, and learning.

Question 3

basal nuclei

Answer 3

deep within the white matter, works with the limbic system

Question 4

brainstem

Answer 4

composed of 3 structures, regulate heart rate, breathing and BP

Question 5

cerebellum

Answer 5

located in the hindbrain, coordinates voluntary movements.

Question 6

cerebrum/cerebral cortex

Answer 6

thin layer of grey matter covered by meninges

Question 7

corpus callosum

Answer 7

c-shaped nerve fiber bundle that stretches across the midline of the brain

Question 8

cranial nerves (12)

Answer 8

sensory and motor functions

Question 9

frontal lobe

Answer 9

lobe located after the prefrontal

Question 10

general interpretive area

Answer 10

receives info from sensory associative areas, comprehends what is read and heard.

Question 11

hippocampus

Answer 11

embedded in the temporal lobe, role in learning and memory

Question 12

hypothalamus

Answer 12

region of the forebrain below the thalamus, coordinates autonomic nerve system, pituitary, thirst/hunger, sleep

Question 13

insula

Answer 13

deep in the lateral sulcus

Question 14

integrative areas

Answer 14

involved completely in the CNS

Question 15

limbic system

Answer 15

involved with emotions and memory, includes the thalamus, hypothalamus, frontal lobe, olfactory bulb, amygdala and hippocampus

Question 16

medulla oblongata

Answer 16

part of the brainstem that coordinate involuntary functions, can be deadly if damaged.

Question 17

midbrain

Answer 17

part of the brainstem that is associated with sleep/awake, hearing, vision, arousal

Question 18

motor cortex

Answer 18

involved in planning, control, and execution of voluntary movements

Question 19

occipital lobe

Answer 19

visual processing center

Question 20

olfactory bulb

Answer 20

part of the forebrain involved in olfaction

Question 21

parietal lobe

Answer 21

processes sensory information relating to touch, taste and temperature

Question 22

pons

Answer 22

largest part of the brainstem, is a connection between the cerebrum and cerebellum

Question 23

prefrontal cortex

Answer 23

planning cognitive behavior, personality expression, behavior

Question 24

sensory cortex

Answer 24

receives and interprets sensory information

Question 25

temporal lobe

Answer 25

creates and preserves conscious/longterm memory

Question 26

thalamus

Answer 26

just above the brainstem, relays motor and sensory signals to the cerebral cortex.

Question 27

ventricles (4)

Answer 27

right and left lateral, and third and fourth
