The Brain 3

Question 1

Thalamus
3 primary functions

Answer 1

1.Receives ALL sensory info (Except smell)
2.filters that info. small amount goes to primary cortex and rest goes to basal ganglion and brain stem
3.coordinates voluntary and involuntary motor commands

Question 2

Hypothalamus
what do its primary functions involve
6 main functions

Answer 2

-its functions invole maintaing homeostasis

1.controls pituitary gland
2.controls emotion and some feeling
3.regulates body temp
4.controls sleep cycle
5.recives olafactory info (smell)
6.relays info to autonomic center in the PONS and MEDULLA OBLONGATA

Question 3

Mid-Brain

Answer 3

-directly below hypothalamus
-processes visual and auditory responses
-reflexes to sudden stimulus
-produces dopamine

Question 4

Pons

Answer 4

-connects cerebellum with mid-brain
-involunary control of respiration

Question 5

Medulla oblongata

Answer 5

-relay point between diencephalon, cerebrum, spinal cor
-control center for respiration, cardiovascular, and digestion

Question 6

Cerebellum

Answer 6

-adjust movements (does NOT iniate motion)
1.makes rapid unconscious adjustments
2.programs voluntary and involntary movements from signals from the cerebrum and brain stem

Question 7

Where is memory stored in the brain?

Answer 7

-cerebral cortex
-cerebrum
-hippocampus
-cerebellum
-synapses

Question 8

what type of memory is stored in the cerebral cortex?

Answer 8

familair sounds, faces, taste, and smell

Question 9

What type of memory is stored in the cerebrum and hippocampus?

Answer 9

short-term and long-term deeclaritive memory

Question 10

What type of memory is stored in the cerebellum?

Answer 10

procedural memory

Question 11

What are the two types of strokes and what main thing is happening in both?

Answer 11

1. Hemorrhagic stroke=blood leaks in brain
   2.Ischemic stroke=clot stops blood supply to brain

In both of these strokes, O2 is being depleted from brain
