Taste area
Somatosensory area
Somatosensory association area
(Recieves sensory info from skin and skeleton and taste)
What is the function of the frontal lobe and what does it consist of
Motor area Premotor area Motor speech (broca's) area Prefrontal area (Controls muscles helps with reasoning )
Receives info from ears
Auditory association area
Primary auditory area
Sensory speech(wernicke) area
What is the function of the temporal lobe and what does it consist of
What is occipital lobe
Primary visual area
Visual association area
Receives info from eye
What is the function of the medulla oblongata and the location
Attach to the spinal cord at the base of the brain.
Controls swallowing,vomiting,coughing,hiccups,respiratory,vasomotor, and cardiac
What is the function of thalamus
Sensory relay centre of the brain that got verbs the flow of info from all other parts of the nervous system
What is the function of the midbrain and its location
Controls a small part of sight and hearing
Located between the pons and the cerebrum
What is the function of the corpus callosum
A series of nerves that connects the right and left hemisphere of the brain
What is the function of the pons and location
Functions with the medulla to regulate breathing rate and reflex centre involved in head movement
Contains bundles of axons traveling between the cerebellum and the rest of the cns
What is the hypothalamus function
Controls hunger
Body temperature
Aggression
Other parts of metabolism and behaviour
What is the function of cerebellum
Motor area of brain
What’s the function of cerebrum
Controls intelligence and complex behaviour
Interprets sensory inputs and Initiates motor impulses
