Question: Answer: Consists of the cerebrum, thalamus, and (part of the limbic system). Collectively, this area is the largest and most highly developed part of the human brain. The source of intellectual activities Question: MidbrainAnswer: The uppermost part of the brainstem, which controls some reflex actions and is part of the circuit involved in the control of eye and other voluntary movements. Question: Answer: Includes the upper part of the spinal cord, the brain stem, and a wrinkled ball of tissue called the cerebellum. It controls the body's vital functions such as respiration and rate. Question: Right Answer: Dominant for spatial abilities, face , visual imagery and music. Question: Left Answer: More dominant for language, calculations, math and abilities. Question: CortexAnswer: Consists of many thin layers of cells covering the cerebrum&is responsible for higher mental functions.It is divided into 4 sect.,called "lobes".The "roof" of this is called the neocortex,thought to be the most recently evolved part of the brain Question: CerebrumAnswer: The largest part of the human brain, associated with higher brain function such as thought and action. It is here that things like perception, imagination, , judgment, and decision occur. Question: When people talk about "this" in the brain they are talking about the cerebral . The folds in the brain add to it's surface area and therefore increase the amount of "this"Answer: Gray Question: LobesAnswer: When you plan a schedule, imagine the future, or use reasoned arguments, these two lobes do much of the work. Associated with reasoning, planning, parts of speech, movement, emotions, and solving. Question: CortexAnswer: Located in the rear portion of the frontal lobe, this helps control movement. Question: Broca's Answer: Allows thoughts to be into words Question: LobesAnswer: Associated with perception and recognition of stimuli, memory, and speech. Question: Primary Auditory Answer: Responsible for processing of auditory (sound) . It is located on the temporal lobe, and performs the basics of hearing; pitch and volume. Question: Wernicke's Answer: An important region for the processing of signals so that they can be distinguished as speech, music, or noise. Question: Occipital Answer: Process images from the eyes and link that information with images stored in memory. Damage to this area can blindness. Question: Visual CortexAnswer: Is the part of the cerebral cortex that receives visual input from the retina. to this part can result in full or partial blindness, as well as problems perceiving motion and colors. Question: Parietal Answer: Associated with movement, orientation, recognition,&perception of . Reading and arithmetic are also functions in the parietal lobes. Question: CortexAnswer: areas receive information about temperature, taste, touch, and movement from the rest of the body. Question: PonsAnswer: It is involved in motor control and analysis Question: Reticular Activation Answer: Crucial for maintaining a state of consciousness. Situated at the core of the brain stem between the medulla&midbrain. It is with circadian rhythms. Damage can lead to permanent coma. Question: MedullaAnswer: called Medulla Oblongata-It is responsible for maintaining vital body functions, such as breathing and heart rate Question: Basal Answer: Clusters of nerve cells surrounding the . They are responsible for initiating and integrating movements. Modifies movement on a minutes-to-minute basis. Question: Answer: Coordinates movement and is involved in learned rote . Balance, posture, and movement! Question: SystemAnswer: A collective term referring to several brain parts, including the hippocampus and the amygdala. These structures are in the regulation of instinctual motor activity and emotional expression. Question: Answer: Controls drives of hunger, thirst, emotion, sex, and reproduction. The structure regulates body , circadian rhythms, and control of the autonomic nervous system. In addition, it controls the pituitary gland. Question: Answer: Involved in memory, emotion, and fear. It "evaluates" the -or-flight situations. Question: Answer: Major clearinghouse for information going to/from the spinal cord&cerebrum. All sensory systems except pass through here before the information reaches the cerebral cortex. Also generates emotions. Question: Answer: Acts as a memory indexer-sending memories out to the appropriate part of the cerebral hemisphere for long-term storage and them when necessary. Question: Corpus Answer: Body of fibers that connect to the right and left hemispheres, allowing communication between the two. |
