Brain

Question 1

Controls voluntary movement (walking & speech), memory, intelligence & personality

Answer 1

Frontal lobe

Question 2

Processes sensory info from the ears (hearing), smell

Answer 2

Temporal lobe

Question 3

sensory areas associated w/ touch & temperature, pain, pleasure, pressure. Emotions & interpreting speech.

Answer 3

Parietal lobe

Question 4

Processes sensory info from the eyes (visual)

Answer 4

Occipital lobe

Question 5

control body temp., emotions, circadian rhythms (sleep rhythms) & feelings of hunger, pleasure &thirst.

Answer 5

Hypothalamus

Question 6

Relay system-receives incoming sensory info and directs it to the appropriate parts of the cerebrum.

Answer 6

Thalamus

Question 7

Joins the spinal cord & cerebrum. Site of automatic nervous control: heart & breathing rate, coughing, swallowing, vomiting, dilation of blood vessels

Answer 7

Medulla Oblongata

Question 8

Largest part of brain. Receives & processes all sensory info. Initiates motor impulses of voluntary movement.

Answer 8

Cerebrum (FPOT)

Question 9

Folded (convoluted) outer layer of cerebrum-functions: language,reasoning & perception

Answer 9

Cerebral cortex

Question 10

Relays info between the cerebellum & the medulla

Answer 10

Pons

Question 11

“Master Gland” produces many hormones, works w/ hypothalamus to link the nervous system and endocrine system

Answer 11

Pituitary gland

Question 12

Brain is protected by three layer of membranes called

Answer 12

Meninges

Question 13

Infection of the meninges

Answer 13

Meningitis

Question 14

Contains thalamus, hypothalamus & cerebrum (lobes), largest part of the brain

Answer 14

Forebrain

Question 15

Sits below thalamus, consists of 4 spheres of grey matter, connects forebrain to hindbrain, acts as relay center for eye & ear reflexes

Answer 15

Midbrain

Question 16

Contains the medulla oblongata, cwerebellum & pons.

Answer 16

Hindbrain

Question 17

Selective centre for incoming stimuli, ‘filters’ out noise-selective hearing. Makes you “forget”(eg. nose in view, chair, breathing)

Answer 17

Thalamus.

Question 18

Controls ANS, regulates water & urine production, produces some hormones, center of thirst, hunger, sex drive & rage, connect to pituitary gland

Answer 18

Hypothalamus

Question 19

Outer surface called cerebral cortex, is divided by corpus callosum (works like switch board), left side: speech writing, math (verbal) right side : 3-D, spatial relations (artistic musical)

Answer 19

Cerebrum

Question 20

swollen part of spinal cord, controls breathing, heart rate & diameter of arteries, essential to life

Answer 20

Medulla oblongata

Question 21

located above medulla at back of brain, responsible for balance, coordination & muscle tone, integrates cerebral impulses w/ sensory impulses

Answer 21

Cerebellum

Question 22

name means bridge in french, top of spinal cord above medulla, connects cerebellum & medulla

Answer 22

Pons

Question 23

form of energy

Answer 23

stimulus

Question 24

converts one source of energy into another

Answer 24

sensory receptors
