24
Q

●Lies above the spinal cord
●The lowest part of the brainstem
●Concerned with regulating breathing, heartbeat, blood circulation.

A

Medulla or myelencephalon

25
Q

●Lies above the medulla
●Front of the cerebellum
●Plays a part in sleep, dreaming, left body coordination and arousal

A

Pons or metencephalon

26
Q

Interbrain or limbic system (diencephalon) consists of two parts:

A

Thalamus and Hypothalamus

27
Q

Part of the limbic system located in the centre of the brain

28
Q

Relay sensory information from the lower part of the brain to the proper areas of the cortex

A

Thalamus (inner chamber )

29
Q

Temperature regulation and emotional behaviour

30
Q

●Superior to the pons
●Smallest and least differentiated structure of the brainstem
●Involves in the regulation of walking, posture, reflexes from head and eye movements.

A

Midbrain (mesencephalon)

31
Q

Regulates Eating, drinking, and sexual behaviours

A

Hypothalamus

32
Q

Regulation of stress response and
Deals with emergency situations

A

Hypothalamus

33
Q

Regarded as the pleasure center as well as stress center

A

Hypothalamus

34
Q

Closely interconnected with the hypothalamus

A

Limbic system

35
Q

Also exert additional over some instinctive behaviour already under the regulation of hypothalamus and brainstem

A

Limbic system

36
Q

Lies between the thalamus and the cortex

A

Hippocampus or sea horse

37
Q

Plays a crucial role in long term memories and the storage of memories

A

Hippocampus/ sea horse

38
Q

Control of appetitive, sexual, and aggressive behaviour

A

Amygdala or almond

39
Q

Storehouse of emotional memories

A

Amygdala or almond

40
Q

Life without amygdala is not a life stripped of personal meaning

41
