Identify Part and Function of Label 19
**Thalamus: ** Body’s information relay station.
Identify Part and Function of Label 21
Hypothalamus: Produces hormones that control body temperature, heart rate, and hunger.
Identify Part and Function of Label 24
Mammillary Body: Recollective memory.
Identify Part and Function of Label 23
Pineal Body (Gland): Produces melatonin, which is a hormone that regulates the sleep cycle.
Identify Part and Function of Label 34
Cerebral Aqueduct: Allows cerebrospinal fluid to flow between the 3rd and 4th ventricles.
Identify Part and Function of Label 35 D
Arbor Vitae: Carries Sensory and motor information to and from the cerebellum.
Identify Part and Function of Label 8?
Olfactory Bulb: Transmit information about smells from the nose to the brain.
What is the role of the infundibulum and where is it located?
It connects the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland.
Identify Part and Function of Label 36?
Pons: Performs many functions including sleep cycles, pain management, unconscious movements, muscle control coordination, etc.
Identify Part and Function of Label 37?
Medullia Oblongata: Controls vital functions such as breating ,and hearbeat. It also acts a a conduit for nerve signals between brain and spinal cord.
Identify Part and Function of Label 35?
Cerebellum: Movement coordination, balance and posture, motor learning, etc.
Identify Part and Function of the round gland under II and next to 33?
Pituitary Gland: Produces and releases hormones that regulate boddily functions.
What is the Midbrain?
Located at the top of the brainstem between the pons and dienccephalon. It is responsible for many functions, including relaying sensory information, motor control, sleep cycle, pain, temperature regulation, and arousal.
Identify Part and Function of Label 31?
Corpora Quadrigemina: Responsible for visual and auditory reflexes.
What is the role of the Cerebellar Cortex?
This is the outer layer of the cerebellum. Its function is to process and integrate information to produce coordinated motor output.
Identify Part and Function of Label I, II, and V?
These are cranial nerves, olfactory, optic, and trigeminal respectively.
What is the function of the optic chiasm, tract, and nerve?
- The optic chiasm allows for binocular vision by combining visual information from both eyes.
- The optic tract carries visual information fromn the optic chiasm to the brains geniculate bodies.
- The optic nerve sends visual infomation fromn the eye to the brain.
Identify Part and Function of Label 1?
Frontal Lobe: Controls congnition, movement, language, social skills, etc.
Identify Part and Function of Label 4?
Temporal Lobe: Controls, hearing language, memory, emotions, etc.
