incorrect
1.
Hindbrain
incorrect
2.
Somatosensory Cortex
incorrect
3.
Corpus Callosum
incorrect
4.
Wernicke's Area
incorrect
5.
Forebrain
incorrect
6.
Amygdala
incorrect
7.
Broca's Area
incorrect
8.
Parietal Lobes
incorrect
9.
Occipital Lobes
incorrect
10.
Basal Ganglia
incorrect
11.
Reticular Activation System
incorrect
12.
When people talk about "this" in the brain they are talking about the cerebral cortex. The folds in the brain add to it's surface area and therefore increase the amount of "this"
incorrect
13.
Midbrain
incorrect
14.
Hypothalamus
incorrect
15.
Medulla
incorrect
16.
Thalamus
incorrect
17.
Frontal Lobes
incorrect
18.
Left Hemisphere
incorrect
19.
Pons
A.
Clusters of nerve cells surrounding the thalamus. They are responsible for initiating and integrating movements. Modifies movement on a minutes-to-minute basis.
B.
These areas receive information about temperature, taste, touch, and movement from the rest of the body.
C.
Gray Matter
D.
Major clearinghouse for information going to/from the spinal cord&cerebrum. All sensory systems except smell pass through here before the information reaches the cerebral cortex. Also generates emotions.
E.
Crucial for maintaining a state of consciousness. Situated at the core of the brain stem between the medulla&midbrain. It is involved with circadian rhythms. Damage can lead to permanent coma.
F.
Controls drives of hunger, thirst, emotion, sex, and reproduction. The structure regulates body temperature, circadian rhythms, and control of the autonomic nervous system. In addition, it controls the pituitary gland.
G.
Sometimes called Medulla Oblongata-It is responsible for maintaining vital body functions, such as breathing and heart rate
H.
Body of nerve fibers that connect to the right and left hemispheres, allowing communication between the two.
I.
The uppermost part of the brainstem, which controls some reflex actions and is part of the circuit involved in the control of eye movements and other voluntary movements.
J.
An important region for the processing of acoustic signals so that they can be distinguished as speech, music, or noise.
K.
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 heart rate.
L.
More dominant for language, calculations, math and logical abilities.
M.
Allows thoughts to be transformed into words
N.
Consists of the cerebrum, thalamus, and hypothalamus(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
O.
Process images from the eyes and link that information with images stored in memory. Damage to this area can cause blindness.
P.
It is involved in motor control and sensory analysis
Q.
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 problem solving.
R.
Involved in memory, emotion, and fear. It "evaluates" the fight-or-flight situations.
S.
Associated with movement, orientation, recognition,&perception of stimuli. Reading and arithmetic are also functions in the parietal lobes.
Type the Question that corresponds to the displayed Answer.
incorrect
20.
Dominant for spatial abilities, face recognition, visual imagery and music.
incorrect
21.
Responsible for processing of auditory (sound) information. It is located on the temporal lobe, and performs the basics of hearing; pitch and volume.
incorrect
22.
Is the part of the cerebral cortex that receives visual input from the retina. Damage to this part can result in full or partial blindness, as well as problems perceiving motion and colors.
incorrect
23.
Coordinates movement and is involved in learned rote movements. Balance, posture, and movement!
incorrect
24.
A collective term referring to several brain parts, including the hippocampus and the amygdala. These structures are important in the regulation of instinctual motor activity and emotional expression.
incorrect
25.
Associated with perception and recognition of auditory stimuli, memory, and speech.
incorrect
26.
Located in the rear portion of the frontal lobe, this helps control voluntary movement.
incorrect
27.
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, though, judgment, and decision occur.
incorrect
28.
Consists of many thin layers of cells covering the cerebrum&is largely 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
incorrect
29.
Acts as a memory indexer-sending memories out to the appropriate part of the cerebral hemisphere for long-term storage and retrieving them when necessary.
