Cns Anatomy Flashcards
Frontal lobe
Voluntary movement
Pre- central gyrus
Primary motor cortex, executing voluntary motor movement
Parietal lobe
Interpretation of textures and shapes
Post-central gyrus
Main sensory receptive area for sense of touch
Temporal lobe
Interpretation of auditory sensation
Occipital lobe
Interpretation of movements in focusing the eye
Insula
Integrate sensation (pain) with visceral response
Cerebellum
Maintain balance; controls voluntary movement
What is the Diencephalon consist of
Thalamus and hypothalamus
What is in the cerebral cortex
Frontal lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe, occipital lobe, insula
Thalamus
Regulation of consciousness and alertness
Hypothalamus
Helps regulate appetite, weight, body temp
