Exam 2 parts of the brain Flashcards
i. Composed of 2 hemispheres
ii. Make up majority of forebrain
iii. Outer shell of high folded grey matter (cerebral cortex)
iv. Under the cerebral cortex is white matter tracts
v. Divided into 4 lobes
Cerebrum
a. Motor function, decision making, emotion
Frontal (front)
a. Sensory association, combining multiple senses together to get a perception of what’s going on
Parietal (between frontal and occipital)
a. Hearing, speech function, deciphering speech
Temporal (sides)
- Occipital (back of brain)
a. Visual function
Occipital (back of brain)
____ _____:deeper collections of gray matter which are important for movement control, arousal control, and learning
Basal nuclei
Three parts of the Diencephalon
Thalamus
Hypothalamus
Epithalamus
______: Mater command center for autonomic and endocrine control (homeostatic control center)
Hypothalamus
- Synaptic relay center
- Integrates inputs to cerebral cortex
- Controls arousal and attention
- Receives all sensory information and passes it on to the sensory area
Thalamus
- Contains pineal gland
2. Plays role in biological rhythms (light dark cycles)
Epithalamus
The ____ system includes 1. Frontal lobe, Temporal lobe, Thalamus, Hypothalamus. The _____ system is also associated with learning and other emotions
limbic
limbic
The Cerebellum important for
coordinating movements and controlling posture and balance
The ______ is used for coordinating movements and is located right below the occiptal lobe
cerebellum
The 3 parts of the brain stem include
Pons, Medulla, and reticular formation
The reticular formation controls
basic life processes such as cardiovascular and respiratory systems
