Question 1

Name the 4 regions of the brain.

Answer 1

• Frontal lobe
• Pariental lobe
• Occipital lobe
• Temporal lobe

Question 2

Name the sulci and fissure and where they are located on the brain.

Answer 2

• Central sulcus (between the frontal lobe and parietal lobe).
• Parent-occipitial sulcus
• Transverse fissure (at the bottom of the temporal and Occipital lobe).
• Lateral sulcus (between the frontal/parietal lobe and the temporal lobe).

Question 3

Name and explain where the major gyri are located.

Answer 3

• Pre-central gyrus (on the frontal lobe side of the central-sulcus).
• Post-central gyrus (on the parietal lobe side of the central sulcus).

Question 4

What are the 2 sections of the frontal lobe called?

Answer 4

Motor cortex and Pre-frontal cortex.

Question 5

What does the Parietal lobe do?

Answer 5

Responsible for sensory information.

Question 6

What does the Occipital lobe do?

Answer 6

Responsible for vision.

Question 7

What does the temporal lobe do?

Answer 7

Responsible for memory and hearing.

Question 8

What does the motor cortex part of the frontal lobe do?

Answer 8

Primary motor cortex - controls voluntary movement.

Pre-motor cortex - involves in planning of movement.
