Question 9

: The largest part, responsible for higher cognitive functions (thought, memory, sensation, voluntary movement).

Answer 9

Cerebrum

Question 10

●: Located at the back, under the cerebrum, it coordinates movement and balance.

Answer 10

Cerebellum

Question 11

Extends from the brainstem and transmits signals between the brain and the body.

Answer 11

● Spinal Cord:

Question 12

Regulates basic bodily functions such as heart rate, breathing, and blood pressure.

Answer 12

Medulla Oblongata:

Question 13

BRAINSTEM COMPONENTS (2)

Answer 13

MEDULLA OBLONGATA
PONS

Question 13

: Above the medulla; connects the cerebrum to the cerebellum and assists in coordinating movement and balance.

Answer 13

Pons

Question 14

Located at the front of the brain; involved in the sense of smell.

Answer 14

● Olfactory bulb:

Question 15

An X-shaped structure where the optic nerves cross, allowing visual
information from both eyes to be processed in both hemispheres.

Answer 15

Optic Chiasmata:

Question 16

●: Shallow grooves on the brain’s surface that help increase its surface area.

Answer 16

Sulci

Question 17

: Raised ridges between sulci, also contributing to an increased surface area for more neural
connections.

Answer 17

Gyri

Question 18

Deep groove that separates the two cerebral hemispheres.

Question 21

WHICH LOBE

Processes sensory information such as touch, temperature, and pain.

Answer 21

● Parietal Lobe:

Question 22

: The central, narrow area of the cerebellum, helping integrate motor control from both hemispheres.

Answer 22

Vermis

Involved in hearing and memory.

Answer 23

● Temporal Lobe:

Question 24

WHICH LOBE

Processes visual information.

Answer 24

● Occipital Lobe:

Question 25

Thick band of fibers connecting the left and right hemispheres, allowing communication between them

Answer 25

Corpus Callosum:

Question 26

Chambers within the brain filled with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which cushions the brain and removes waste.

Answer 26

Ventricles (Third and Fourth):

Question 27

Acts as a relay station for sensory information heading to the cerebral cortex.

Answer 27

● Thalamus:

Question 28

The “master gland” that releases hormones to control other glands in the body.

Answer 28

● Pituitary Gland:

Question 28

: Regulates homeostasis, including temperature, hunger, thirst, and hormone
production.

Answer 28

Hypothalamus

Question 29

Produces melatonin, involved in regulating sleep-wake cycles.

Answer 29

● Pineal Body (Gland):

Question 30

Together form part of the brainstem and are involved in regulating basic life
functions and relaying information between brain regions.

Answer 30

● Pons and Medulla:

Question 31

Latin for “tree of life,” this refers to the white matter in the cerebellum that appears tree-like when sliced, aiding in coordinating movement.

Answer 31

Arbor Vitae:

Question 32

Composed of myelinated nerve fibers, it transmits signals rapidly within the brain.

Answer 32

Inner White Matter:
