M11 Brain Flashcards
cortical site involved with controlling movements of the body
primary motor cortex (precentural gyrus)
controls facial neurons, speech and language comprehension. Located on the Left frontal lobe
Broca’s Area
results in the ability to comprehend speech but the decreased motor ability (or inability) to speak and form words
Broca’s Aphasia
responsible for hearing
primary auditory cortex
interprets the sense of smell once it reaches the cortex
primary olfactory cortex
language comprehension. Located on the left temporal lobe
wernicke’s area
language comprehension is inhibited. words and sentences are not clearly understood and sentence formation may be inhibited or non-sensical
wernicke’s aphasia
Lobes and Structures of the brain Labeling
A. Central Sulcus B. Frontal Lobe C. Sylvian/Lateral Fissure D. Temporal Lobe E. Transverse Fissure F. Occipital Lobe G. Parietal Lobe
gathers information about changes occuring within and around the body
sensory
____ receptors, at the ends of ____ nerves, send signals to ____
Sensory receptors, at the ends of peripheral nerves, send signals to CNS
______information is “brought together” interpreted, to create sensations, create thoughts, add to memory, make decisions, ect
Integrative
sending of signals to muscles and/or glands to elicit a response
motor
the three general functions of the nervous system (in order) are:
sensory, integrative, and motor

These neurons ____
the brain and the spinal cord.
cannot regenerate if damaged
the peripheral nervous system is made up of:
these neurons _____
peripheral nervous that connect the CNS to the rest of the body
can regenerate if damaged
