The NS Parts

Question 1

This system includes sensory nerves and motor nerves

Answer 1

PNS

Question 2

This is a part of the PNS that regulates nonconscious or automatic functions

Answer 2

ANS

Question 3

This is a branch of the ANS that is activated during emotional arousal by a release of epinephrine and norepinephrine from adrenal glands

Answer 3

sympathetic NS

Question 4

This is a branch of the ANS that does fight or flight reaction

Answer 4

sympathetic branch

Question 5

This is a branch of the ANS that balances the actions of the opposing branch by opposing opposite effects

this does normal maintenance

Answer 5

parasympathetic branch (primarily cholinergic)

Question 6

What are the 3 major divisions of the human brain

Answer 6

hindbrain
midbrain
forebrain

Question 7

This is a member of the hindbrain and is located above the spinal cord.

this is responsible for the regulation of basic life functions

Answer 7

Medulla Oblongata (Hindbrain)

Question 8

This part of the hindbrain controls breathing, HR,vomiting,swallowing,BP and digestive processes

if toxic levels are met the vomit center is triggered to purge the body

Answer 8

medulla oblongata (hindbrain)

Question 9

This is a member of the hindbrain and controls sleep and wakefulness

Answer 9

pons

Question 10

this is apart of the pons and is responsible for alertness and arousal

Answer 10

reticular activating system

Question 11

this is a part of the hindbrain and is used for motor control such as balance, coordination, and speech

Answer 11

cerebellum
(major target of alc)

Question 12

what are the 4 parts of the midbrain

Answer 12

inferior colliculi
superior colliculi
susbtantia Nigra
ventral tegmental system

Question 13

this is a part of the midbrain that is the auditory system

Answer 13

inferior colliculi

Question 14

this is a part of the midbrain that is the localization of visual stimuli

Answer 14

superior colliculi

Question 15

this is a part of the midbrain that produces dopamine that is transported through the motor pathway

ex. Parkinson’s disease (less and less of dopamine available)

Answer 15

substantial Nigra

Question 16

this is a part of the midbrain that has dopamine neurons involved in reward

Answer 16

ventral tegmental area

Question 17

this is a part of the forebrain and is the relay station that receives incoming sensory stimuli and relays info to the brain

Answer 17

thalamus (forebrain)

Question 18

this is a part of the forebrain and is used for motivation of behavior.

it also regulates eating,drinking, body temp,aggression and sexual behavior

Answer 18

hypothalamus

Question 19

this is the system found in the forebrain

Answer 19

limbic system

Question 20

This is found in the limbic system of the forebrain and mediates aggression fear and emotional experiences

Answer 20

amygdala

Question 21

This is found in the limbic system of the forebrain and is used for memory storage

Answer 21

hippocampus

Question 22

This is found in the limbic system of the forebrain and has three parts that are important for motor movement

Answer 22

basal ganglia
(caudate nucleus, putamen, and globus pallidus)

Question 23

What are the 3 main parts of the basal ganglia responsible for motor movement

Answer 23

caudate nucleus, putamen, and globus pallidus

Question 24

This lobe is responsible for visual projection (back of the brain)

Answer 24

occipital lobe

Question 25

this lobe is responsible for auditory stimulation (ex. language)

Answer 25

temporal lobe

Question 26

this lobe is responsible for the initiation of movement

involved in emotionality, intelligence and personality

Answer 26

frontal lobe

Question 27

his lobe is responsible for tactile stimuli and body sensations
