| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Where are the Frontal lobes located (L&R) | right behind the skull |
| Where are the parietal lobes located? | Behind frontal |
| Where is the occipital lobe located? | At the back of the brain |
| Where are the temporal lobes located? | Next to the temples. sides of the head. |
| Where is the Cerebellum located | Bottom of the brain under the occipital (little brain) |
| Where is the brain stem located? | front of cerebellum ontop of spinal cord. has three parts the midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata. |
| What are the two halves of the brain fastened with? | Corpus Collossum |
| What is Broca's Area? | deals with language and allows us to speak. |
| What is Wernicki's area? | allows us to comprehend language. |
| What does the Parietal do? | processes sensory information (somatosensory cortex- sensory area). |
| What does the occipital do? | Primary visual cortex interprets incoming visual information. |
| What do neurotransmitters do? | carry signals between the nerve cells, muscles and glands. |
| what are Excitatory neurotransmitters? | increases the likelihood that an electrical impulse will advance. |
| What are Inhibitory neurotransmitters? | decreases the likelihood that an electrical impulse will advance. |
| What is Acetylcholine and its function? | Excitatory. deals with movement, autonomic, function, learning, and memory. deficiency may lead to Alzheimer's. |
| What is Dopamine and its function? | Excitatory. deals with motivation, reward, and planning. Deficiency may lead to Parkinson's and decreased feelings of pleasure. Excess of it may lead to schizophrenia. |

| What is the function of the sympathetic nervous system? (SNS) | sympathetic to your plights. triggers your fight or flight response. releases adrenaline. |
| What is the Function of the Para Sympathetic Nervous System? (PSNS) | goes back to normal after the sympathetic has been activated. |
| What does the Afferent System do? | Carries messages and recognizes sensation sensors to the CNS. |
| What does the Efferent System do? | Carries the command from the CNS to the muscles & organs. |
