would come from which lobe

A

Temporal

23
Q

Located at the rear of the brain (ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW IS VISION)

A

occipital lobe

24
Q

Damage to this lobe causes blindness?

A

Occipital

25
Q

Lobe that makes you blush readily when embarrassed , and get clammy hands from stage fright

A

Limbic Lobe

26
Q

Involved in the formation of long-term memory, and is closely associated with the olfactory structures.

A

Limbic system

27
Q
  • Cingulate gyrus
  • Fornix
  • Anterior thalamic nuclei
  • Hypothalamus
  • Amygdaloid nucleus
  • Hippocampus

All these are parts of:

A

limbic system

28
Q

The posterior part of the forebrain that connects the midbrain with the cerebral hemispheres, encloses the third ventricle, and contains the thalamus and hypothalamus.

A

diencephalon

29

Where do these 3 things Live?

A

Diencephalon

30
Q

What is the relay station of the brain?

A

Thalamus

“The thalamus is called the gateway to the cerebral cortex, as nearly all sensory inputs pass through it to the higher levels of the brain.”

40
Q

what does thalamus do

A

relays sensory impulses
plays important part
conscious pain awareness

41
Q

located at the back of the brain below occipital lobes

A
