Q

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

A

Medulla or myelencephalon

25
●Lies above the medulla ●Front of the cerebellum ●Plays a part in sleep, dreaming, left body coordination and arousal
Pons or metencephalon
26
Interbrain or limbic system (diencephalon) consists of two parts:
Thalamus and Hypothalamus
27
Part of the limbic system located in the centre of the brain
Thalamus
28
Relay sensory information from the lower part of the brain to the proper areas of the cortex
Thalamus (inner chamber )
29
Temperature regulation and emotional behaviour
Thalamus
30
●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.
Midbrain (mesencephalon)
31
Regulates Eating, drinking, and sexual behaviours
Hypothalamus
32
Regulation of stress response and Deals with emergency situations
Hypothalamus
33
Regarded as the pleasure center as well as stress center
Hypothalamus
34
Closely interconnected with the hypothalamus
Limbic system
35
Also exert additional over some instinctive behaviour already under the regulation of hypothalamus and brainstem
Limbic system
36
Lies between the thalamus and the cortex
Hippocampus or sea horse
37
Plays a crucial role in long term memories and the storage of memories
Hippocampus/ sea horse
38
Control of appetitive, sexual, and aggressive behaviour
Amygdala or almond
39
Storehouse of emotional memories
Amygdala or almond
40
Life without amygdala is not a life stripped of personal meaning
False
41
Located at the back of the pons and medulla Concerned with control and coordinates voluntary, rapid, fine motor movements
Cerebellum
42
Also involved in muscle tone, and maintaining equilibrium
Cerebellum
43
Uppermost and expanded structure of the neural tube
Cerebrum
44
Uppermost and expanded structure of the neural tube
Cerebrum
45
Two layers of the cerebrum
Cerebral cortex and medulla oblongata
46
•Also known as the outer layer of the cerebrum •Also called the gray matter •Processing of information
Cerebral cortex
47
●Also known as the inner part of the cerebrum ●Also called as the white matter ●Transfer of information
Medulla oblongata
48
●Also known as the inner part of the cerebrum ●Also called as the white matter ●Transfer of information
Medulla oblongata

Injuries on the left side of the brain can cause:
Difficulty understanding spoken and written language Difficulty expressing spoken and written language Changes in speech Verbal memory issues Impaired logic Sequencing difficulties
54
Injuries on the right side of the brain can cause:
Impairments of attention Left neglect Memory issues Decreased awareness of deficits Loss of big picture thinking Altered creative or music perception
