what s the function of the cerebrum
responsible for movement
temmperature regulation

judgement
thinking
senses
what is the function of the cerebellum
coordinates voluntary muscle movements
maintaining posture
balance
equilibrium
what is the function of the cerebral cortex
higher brain functions like thinking, reasoning
what is the function of the brainstem
connecting cerebrum with spinal cord
controls basic bodily functions
what is the function of the pituitary gland
master gland, controls functions other glands
what is the function of the hypothalamus
regulates body temperature, sleep patterns, hunger and thirst + controls pituitary gland
what is the function of the amygdala
regulates emotion and sleep, part of limbic system
wjat is the function of the hippocampus
supports memory, learning, navigation
what is function pineal gland
produces melatonin, responsible for sleep-wake cycle
what is function of ventricles
produces cerebrospinal fluid and cushions brain and spinal cord
CSF
cerebrospinal fluid
chronic brain condition involving progressive desorientation, speech, gait disturbances and loss of memory
Alzheimer disease
disease with muscular weakness and athrophy due to degeneration motor neurons of spinal cord
ALS
amyotropic lateral sclerosis
medication that reduces seizures
anticonvulsant
bruising if brain from impact
cerebral contusion
nonprogressive brain damage resulting from defect in foetal development or trauma or oxygen deprivation at time of birth
CP: cerebral palsy
injury to brain when brain is shaken inside skull because of impact
concussion
disorder of brain, seizures and unconsciousness occur due to uncontrolled electrical activity in brain
epilepsy
