Ch 15 Lec 2 - Human Brain Flashcards
this means tiny person
homunculus
four sensory cortexes
visual, auditory, olfactory, gustatory
sensory cortex in occipital lobe
visual
auditory cortex is in the blank lobe
temporal
one associated with most large motor or sensory cortexes
association areas
four association areas
somatic sensory, somatic motor, visual, auditory
association area that you can train in your brain
somatic motor
high order integrative regions
cerebral regions
cerebral region that is for abstract intellectual function like predictions and problem solving
prefrontal cortex
prefrontal cortex controls blank context and blank
emotional, motivation
timing is another thing done by the blank
prefrontal cortex
a removal of the prefrontal cortex of the brain
prefrontal lobotomy
people who have blank or blank have trouble with emotional context
ausberger’s, autism
cerebral region that regulates breathing and vocalization
broca’s speech center
broca’s speech center works with the blank
general interpretive area
cerebral region that is for interpretation of both written and verbal language and detects sentence structure and word linkage
general interpretive area
damage to either of the cerebral regions results in some sort of blank
aphasia
higher order integrative regions may be different between blank
hemispheres
hemisphere that speech, writing, and general interpretive area
categorical
hemisphere that is for identification of familiar objects, touch, spatial analysis, and emotional relevance
representational
blank people tend to have their categorical hemisphere on the blank and vice versa
right-handed, left
masses of gray matter deep in cerebral hemisphere
basal nuclei
basal nuclei act as a blank station for motor impulses starting in cerebral cortex and passing to blank and blank
relay, brain stem, spinal cord
two basal nuclei
claustrum, lentiform nucleus
basal nuclei that focuses visual attention
claustrum
basal nuclei that processes unconscious visual info
claustrum
basal nuclei that controls and adjusts muscle tone
lentiform nucleus
two more basal nuclei
caudate nucleus, amygdaloid nucleus
basal nuclei that has a massive head and slender tail
caudate nucleus
the caudate nucleus maintains blank and blank of movement
pattern, rhythm
basal nuclei that is at the tip of the caudate tail
amygdaloid nucleus
amygdaloid nucleus is part of the blank system
limbic
four parts of the diencephalon
epithalamus, posterior pituitary gland, thalamus, hypothalamus
called the pineal gland and produces melatonin
epithalamus
diencephalon part that is central to the cerebrum
thalamus
two major blanks of the thalamus
bodies
thalamus is part of the blank system
limbic
all blank has to go through the thalamus
information
thalamus connects blank and blank
basal nuclei, cerebral cortex
the thalamus sends blank information to proper location within cerebrum
sensory
the hypothalamus is located blank
below thalamus
the hypothalamus is above and connected to the posterior blank
pituitary gland
hypothalamus does blank control of skeletal muscle
subconscious
hypothalamus blank autonomic nervous system
coordinates
hypothalamus is the connection between the blank and blank systems
endocrine, nervous
the hypothalamus directly produces blank
hormones
the hypothalamus produces blank drives
behavioral
hypothalamus regulates blank
body temperature
hypothalamus controls sleep patterns like blank
circadian rhythms
part of the brain that is called the midbrain and connects the brain stem and spinal cord with higher areas
mesencephalon
mesencephalon act as blank centers
relay
mesencephalon contain blank that connects third and fourth ventricles
cerebral aqueduct
parts of the mesencephalon (4)
cerebral peduncles, red nucleus, substantia nigra, corpora quadrigemina
part of mesencephalon that contains only blank fibers and no nuclei
connecting, cerebral peduncles
part of mesencephalon that is highly vascularized and connects the cerebrum to the cerebellum
red nucleus
two things that the red nucleus controls
posture, reflexes
part of mesencephalon that controls and integrates the motor output of the basal nuclei
substantia nigra
substantia nigra produces blank
dopamine
deterioration of the substantia nigra may lead to blank
parkinson’s disease
loss of control of voluntary motor function
parkinson’s disease
olfactory cortex is located in the blank lobe
temporal
gustatory cortex is located in the blank lobe
insula and frontal
