lab 7: the cerebrum Flashcards
what is the function of the frontal lobe
voluntary movement and higher level function
what is the function of the parietal lobe
processes touch and assembles input from your other senses into a form you can use them
what is the function of the temporal lobe
processing auditory information and encoding of memory
what is the function of the occipital lobe
visual perception and processing
what is the function of the angular gyrus
attention , self processing , emotion regulation
what is the function of the inner hemispheric tissue
separated both cerebral hemispheres thru the falx cerebri
what is the function of the parietal occipital fissure
separates parietal and occipital lobes
what is the function of the cingulate gyrus
coordinates sensory input with emotions , pain , behavior , and language expression
what is the function of the frontal pole
human behavior and cognitive abilities like action selection
what is the function of the occipital pole
visual processing
what is the function of the temporal pole
emotional and social behavior , semantic processing , memory and language
what is the function of the corpus callosum
connects the 2 hemispheres of the brain and ensures both sides can communicate
what is the function for the uncus
olfaction , memory and emotion
what is the function of the parahippocampal gyrus
spatial awareness and memories
what is the function of the fusiform gyrus ( occipital temporal gyrus)
high level vision such as face perception or objective recognition
what is the function of the internal capsule
allowed communication between areas of the cerebral cortex and areas of the brain stem
what is the function of the corona radiata
carry messages to and from the body
what is the function of the centrum semiovale
contain projections , homologous and associate fibers
what is the function of the primary motor cortex
generate signals to direct the movement of the body
what is the function of the premotor cortex ( anterior lateral to motor cortex)
prepares and executes movements of the limbs thru coordination
what is the function of the supplementla motor cortex (anterior medial to motor cortex)
prepare for movement , especially proximal musculature
what is the function of broca’s area
speech production and articulation
what is the function of wernickes area
language comprehension
what is the function of the visual cortex
receives , integrates and processes visual information relayed from the retinas
what is the function of the auditory cortex
receives and processes the contents of sounds, voices or music
what is the function of the primary somatosensory cortex
receives input like touch , tempo , vibration , pressure and pain
what is the function of the secondary somatosensory cortex
associated with spatial and tactile memory
what is the function of the vestibular cortex
interacts with the visual cortex to mediate self motion perception and balance
what is the function of the hippocampus
declarative memory
what is the function of the insula
perceive pain and give awareness to our body
what is the function of the amygdala
processing center for emotions
what is the function for the fornix
key role in cognition and episodic memory recall
what is the function and innervation of the medial rectus
adduction of the eye and CN 3
