Ch 2 Brain Flashcards
The fissure separating the temporal lobe from the frontal and parietal lobes
lateral central fissure/fissure of Sylvius
Fissure that separates the two hemispheres
longitudinal cerebral fissure
What separates the frontal from the parietal lobe
central sulcus
Part of frontal lobe responsible for voluntary muscle activation
primary motor cortex/precentral gyrus
Area of frontal lobe that controls emotions and judgements
prefrontal cortex
Area of frontal lobe that controls motor aspects of speech
Broca’s
Part of parietal lobe responsible for integration of sensation
post central gyrus/primary sensory cortex
The parietal lobe receives fibers conveying touch, proprioceptive, pain and temperature sensations from _____ side
opposite side
Part of temporal lobe that receives and processes auditory stimuli
primary auditory cortex
part of temporal lobe that processes auditory stimuli (determines if speech, sound)
associative auditory cortex
Part of temporal lobe where language comprehension occurs
Wernicke’s area
part of occipital lobe that receives and processes visual stimuli
primary visual cortex
part of occipital lobe that processes visual stimuli
visual association cortex
