chapter 60 part 2 Flashcards
the cerebral hemispheres are divided into pairs of lobes:
frontal
parietal
temporal
occipital
largest lobe of the brain
frontal
largest lobe, located in the front of the brain
frontal
broca area can be found in what hemisphere
left hemisphere
area of the brain that contains neurons involved in speech function/motor control of SPEECH
broca area
a predominantly sensory lobe posterior to the frontal lobe
PARIETAL LOBE
this part of lobe is responsible in large part for a person’s affect, judgment, personality, and inhibitions
frontal lobe
this lobe ANALYZES SENSORY information and relays the interpretation of this information to other cortical areas
PARIETAL
located inferior to the frontal and parietal lobes
temporal
this lobe contains the AUDITORY receptive areas and plays a role in memory of sound and understanding of language and music
temporal lobe
located posterior to the parietal lobe
occipital
responsible for VISUAL and memory
occipital
a thick collection of nerve fibers that CONNECTS THE TWO HEMISPHERES of the brain
corpus callosum
responsible for the transmission of information from one side of the brain to the other
corpus callosum
act as a RELAY STATION for sensory and motor information
thalamus
