-memory
-Controlling behavior
-VOLUNTARY

Question 2

Parietal Lobe

Answer 2

-Sense touch/temp,pain
-Body positioning
-Spacial awareness (how far things are)

Question 3

Occipital Lobe

Answer 3

-Vision
-processing what we see
-Recognition of things/remembering what is what

Question 4

Temporal Lobe

Answer 4

-Hearing/making out the sound
-Memory storage/creation
-Emotions
-Smell
-Organization and sequencing

Question 5

Cerebrum

Answer 5

-Largest part of brain
-The 4 lobes
-New brain
Conscious mind

Question 6

Cerebral Cortex

Answer 6

-outer layer of cerebrum
-responsible for things that are our basics of life
-Fissures divide it into the 4 lobes
Most highly evolved
No myelin-outer surface grey matter

Question 7

2 Layers of cerebrum

Answer 7

Gray matter-outter layer, no myelin, Muscle control, sensory perception: seeing, hearing, memory, emotions and speech

White matter-fiber tracts deep to the gray matter, affects how the brain learns, communication between different parts of brain

Question 8

Insula

Answer 8

”5th lobe”
Hidden in lateral fissure
Monitors internal organs

Question 9

Wernickes area

Answer 9

-sensory speech
-controls speech as it comes out
-processes meaning and understanding

Question 10

Brocas area

Answer 10

-Motor speech
-Production/formation of speech
-vocal output

Question 11

Region 1

Answer 11

Cerebral hemispheres; cerebrum, cerebral cortex

Question 12

Region 2

Answer 12

diencephalon “center core” Thalamus hypothalamus epithalamus

Question 13

Region 3

Answer 13

Old brain (Brain Stem)
Midbrain,pons,medulla oblengata

Question 14

Region 4

Answer 14

Cerebellum “little brain”

Question 15

Thalamus

Answer 15

-Post office!
(info goes through thalamus and then is sent where it needs to go) NO SMELL
-“gateway” to cerebral cortex
-SORTING STATION for senses
…all senses go through thalamus and sends info from senses

Question 16

Hypothalamus

Answer 16

-HOMEOSTASIS
-control and regulation of less critical things like thirst and hunger…not an urgent need for these things.
-REWARD system
-Behavior, Body temp
-emotional response (limbic system)
-Pituitary gland (master gland) controls other glands

Question 17

Epithalamus

Answer 17

Sleep regulation/patterns
houses main endocrine glands:
-Pineal gland-secrets melatonin
-Choroid plexus-Helps form cerebrospinal fluid

Question 18

Ventricles

Answer 18

STORAGE of cerebrospinal fluid (cushioning)CNS
Protect brain and spinal cord (CNS)

Question 19

Meninges

Answer 19

Protective membrane around the brain
-Separates the brain from the skull
-house the ventricles

Question 20

Blood brain barrier

Answer 20

Wall of cells that stop things from getting into the brain!
-keep out harmful things except for a couple things: alcohol, nicotine, anesthesia, fats, and respiratory gases

Question 21

Corpus Callosum

Answer 21

Large relay between left and right hemispheres
-connects both sides of the brain; communication

Question 22

Optic Chiasm

Answer 22

area where optic nerves cross hemispheres

cingulate gyrus

Answer 23

PAIN
-Shift between thoughts smoothly.
-Interprets pain/anger
-Motivation
_emotional response to pain

Cerebellum

Answer 24

-The little brain
-Coordination; Movement; Balance

Question 25

Mid brain

Answer 25

-Fight or Flight -reflex/muscle control -Head/Eye movement

Question 26

Pons

Answer 26

Bridge between Mid brain and medulla oblongata -connected to respiratory system -Tells us to breathe, release oxygen, normal breathing

Question 27

Medulla Oblengata

Answer 27

-Ability to control vomit, coughing, sneezing -Blood pressure and Heart rate -Keeps us breathing CRITICAL HOMEOSTASIS

Question 28

Basic actions brain takes to learn stuff (learning/Memory)

Answer 28

-sensory -repetition(allows our neurons to strengthen/learn) -consolidation(putting together) -retrieval

Question 29

Amygdala

Answer 29

-In temporal lobe -Fear (urbach-wiethe) -Strong emotions (scared)(love) -emotional trauma memories/memory association through emotion.

Question 30

Hippocampus

Answer 30

-Linking things together we already know _elephants never forget(strong hippocampus) -remembering a stupid thing we did knowing not to do it again at night. -permanent memory how to do things

Pineal Gland

Answer 34

Produces melatonin wake/sleep patterns
