CSF and Functional areas of the Brain Flashcards
Name the 4 lobes of the cerebral hemisphere
Frontal
Parietal
Temporal
Occipital
State the location of the frontal lobe
It lies in front of the central sulcus
What does the Frontal Lobe contain?
- Motor area which controls the movement of the opposite half of of the body.
- Broca’s area control speech and it is present in the left hemisphere of the right-handed person
What function is the pre-central gyrus responsible for?
Motor area i.e. control movement of opposite side
State the area (number) of the brain responsible for the motor motion
4
What function is the inferior frontal gyrus responsible for?
Motor speech
State the area (number) of the brain responsible for the motor speech
44 & 45
State the location of the Parietal lobe
It lies behind the central sulcus
What does the Parietal Lobe contain?
It contains the sensory area
State the area (number) of the brain responsible for the sensory function
3, 1 , 2
What function is the post-central gyrus responsible for?
Sensory function i.e. receive sensation from the opposite half of the body
State the location of the Temporal lobe
It lies below the lateral sulcus
State the area (number) of the brain responsible for the auditory function
41, 42
What function is the superior temporal gyrus responsible for?
Hearing/ Auditory Function
What does the Temporal Lobe contain?
Contains the auditory area
State the location of the Occipital lobe
It lies posterior to the temporal and parietal lobes
State the area (number) of the brain responsible for the visual function
17, 18, 19
What function is the occipital pole responsible for?
Vision
What does the Occipital Lobe contain?
Contains the visual area
State the area number of the premotor area
6
State the area number of the Brochas area
44
What does the Limbic/ Cingulate Lobe control?
Emotions
What does the apex of the brain control?
Upper part of lower limb i.e. hip joint
What does the medial area of the brain control?
The Medial & Lower parts of the lower limb
