Chapter 8- Brain Flashcards
regulates visual and auditory reflexes
midbrain
regulates heart rate and respiration
medulla
coordinates voluntary movement
cerebellum
responsible for thinking and memory
cerebrum
produces ADH and oxytocin
hypothalamus
connects the cerebral hemispheres
corpus callosum
regulates accessory movements
basal ganglia
four cavities within the brain
ventricles
regulates body temperature and eating
hypothalamus
regulates muscle tone and equilibrium
cerebellum
is anterior to the medulla and helps regulate respiration
pons
regulates coughing and swallowing
medulla
integrates sensations before relaying them to the cerebral cortex
thalamus
contain choroid plexuses that form cerebrospinal fluid
ventricles
regulates blood pressure
medulla
encloses the cerebral aqueduct and helps maintain equilibrium
midbrain
integrates the functioning of the autonomic nervous system
hypothalamus
suppresses unimportant sensations
thalamus
regulates the secretions of the anterior pituitary gland
hypothalamus
is the biological clock for the body’s daily rhythms
hypothalamus
general sensory area for cutaneous sensations
parietal lobes
taste areas, which overlap the temporal lobes
parietal lobes
motor areas that initiate voluntary movement
frontal lobes
visual areas
occipital lobes
auditory areas
temporal lobes
motor speech area
frontal lobes
olfactory areas
temporal lobes
