Brain A&P Review

QuestionAnswer
Frontal Lobe (front of the brain): motor skills, personality, speech/language, memory
Primary Motor Area Sequence (precentral gyrus): conscious control of movement and skeletal muscles
Parietal Lobe (above the temporal lobe and between frontal and occipital): sensations
Primary Sensory Area Sequence (post central gyrus): sensation
Occipital Lobe (back of the brain): vision and memory
Temporal Lobe (in front of the occipital): processes auditory information, emotions, and memory
Broca's Area (precentral gyrus, left side): speaking ability, damage = know words but unable to speak
Corpus Collosum (between left and right hemispheres): connects left and right hemispheres of the brain
Diencephalon (interbrain) (underneath the cerebrum): primary relay and processing
Thalamus (near center): relays info between brain stem and cerebral cortex
Hypothalamus (below thalamus): emotions, autonomic functions, "fight or flight", body temp, water balance, metabolism
Pituitary Gland (below hypothalamus): master gland that controls sexual maturation, development, sex hormones, birth, stimulates thyroid
Choroid Plexus (above thalamus): forms cerebro-spinal fluid
Midbrain (above pons): motor functions (cerebellum, basal ganglia, cerebral cortex)
Pineal Gland (posterior or epithalamus? - bruh I can't read my handwriting and I'm too lazy to check): controls day/night cycle through melatonin
Medulla Oblongata (below pons): controls autonomic functions (blood pressure, heart rate, etc.), cranial nerves
Reticular Activating System (in medulla): plays role in consciousness and awake/sleep cycle (damage = coma)
Pons (above medulla): relay center of cranial nerves (mouth, ears), controls respiratory rhythm (somatic and visceral control)
Cerebellum (posterior to stem, inferior to occipital): coordination of movements, posture

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
