Q

Medulla is a part of

19
Q

medullla is in charge of

A

think MEDUSA. she is a lady therefore a human. humans have heart rate, breathing, digestion, other bodily functions

20
Q

pons is part of

21
Q

pons is in charge of

A

recieves visual stimuli

22
Q

cerebellum is part of

A

hind brain

23
Q

cerebellum is in charge of

A

coordinates and sequences body movement

24
Q

cerebral cortex

A

higher order processing and complex behaivours

25
corpus collosum
connects left and right hemispheres of cerebral cortex
26
Limbic system is comprised of
amydgala and hippocampus
27
amygdala is
responsible for aggression and fear emotional memory
28
hippocampus is
long term memory and spatial orientation
29
forebrain
upper level structure
30
midbrain
coordinates movement sleep and arousal
31
brainstem
regulates reflex survival responses
32
what is contralateral organisation
left primary motor cortex is responsible for movement of right side of body and right motor cortex is responsible for movement on the left side of the body
33
contralateral organisation states
messages from left side of the body will be responsible for actions on right side of the body and vice versa
34
hemispheric specialisation is
lobes and primary cortices in each hemisphere receive information from the opposite side of a human body
35
contralaterised vs laterised
contralaterise means they work together where as laterised refers to a certain hemisphere of the brain is generally responsible for a certain area, such as left and language
