what is the frontal lobe responsible for
personality characteristics, decision-making and movement. Recognition of smell usually involves parts of the frontal lobe. The frontal lobe contains Broca’s area, which is associated with speech ability.
what is the parietal lobe responsible for
helps a person identify objects and understand spatial relationships (where one’s body is compared with objects around the person). The parietal lobe is also involved in interpreting pain and touch in the body. The parietal lobe houses Wernicke’s area, which helps the brain understand spoken language.
what is the occipital lobe responsible for
The occipital lobe is the back part of the brain that is involved with vision.
what is the temporal lobe responsible for
The sides of the brain, temporal lobes are involved in short-term memory, speech, musical rhythm and some degree of smell recognition.

what is cranial nerve 1
olfactory- sense of smell
what is cranial nerve 2
optic- eyesight
what is cranial nerve 3
oculomotor- controls pupil response and other motions of the eye, and branches out from the area in the brainstem where the midbrain meets the pons.
what is cranial nerve 4
trochlear nerve- controls muscles in the eye. It emerges from the back of the midbrain part of the brainstem.
what is cranial nerve 5
trigeminal nerve- the largest and most complex of the cranial nerves, with both sensory and motor function. It originates from the pons and conveys sensation from the scalp, teeth, jaw, sinuses, parts of the mouth and face to the brain, allows the function of chewing muscles, and much more.
