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 and is essential to a person’s awareness of body position in space, size and shape discrimination, and right–left orientation.
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
thalamus act primarily as a relay station for all sensation except ____
smell
all memory, sensation, and pain impulses pass through this section of the brain
thalamus
plays an important role in the ENDOCRINE system because it regulates the PITUITARY secretion of hormones that influence metabolism, reproduction, stress response, and URINE PRODUCTION
hypothalamus
the site of the HUNGER CENTER and is involved in appetite control
HYPOTHALAMUS
masses of nuclei located deep in the cerebral hemispheres
basal ganglia
responsible for control of fine MOTOR movements, including those of the HANDS AND LOWER EXTREMITIES
basal ganglia
Brain Stem consists of the ______
midbrain
pons
medulla
connects the pons and the cerebellum with the cerebral hemispheres
midbrain
in front of the cerebellum ‘between the midbrain and the medulla’
pons
posterior to the midbrain and pons, and below the occipital lobe
cerebellum
controls fine movement, BALANCE, and POSITION (postural) SENSE or proprioception
cerebellum
protects brain from injury
skull
the major bones of the skull are:
frontal
parietal
temporal
occipital
sphenoid
this lobe is essential to a person’s awareness of body position in space, size and shape discrimination, and right–left orientation
parietal
located anterior and inferior to the thalamus
hypothalamus
what are the cranial nerves that originate from midbrain?
3 4
what are the cranial nerves that originate from pons?
5 to 8
what are the cranial nerves that originate from medulla?
9 to 12
what part of the brainstem is responsible for respiration, HR,BP
medulla
awareness of position of extremities without looking at them
proprioception
major functions of this lobe are concentration, abstract thought, information storage or memory, and motor function
frontal
