Biology Quiz on Friday, May 22

QuestionAnswer
Lobes in the Cerebrum Frontal, Parietal,Temporal,Occipital
Frontal Lobe controls consciousness, long term memory, higher level thinking, movement, and speech
Parietal Lobe controls all sensory aspects
Temporal Lobe Sections Amygdala, Hippocampus
Temporal Lobe controls hearing and language
Amygdala controls anger, sadness, fear, fight or flight
Hippocampus stores long term memories for a few years
Occipital Lobe controls visual cortex
Cerebellum Coordination (balance)
Medulla Oblongata (brain stem) heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, swallowing, vomiting
Hypothalamus thirst, hunger, appetite, body temperature, produces 2 hormones
Pituitary location brain
Pituitary function regulates all other glands and secretes hormones to stimulate those glands
Thyroid location lower neck
Thyroid function maintains normal heart rate, blood pressure, and body temp.
Parathyroid location back of the thyroid gland
Parathyroid functions controls balance of calcium in the blood
Sections of Adrenal Glands cortex and medulla
Location of Adrenals above the kidneys
Function of cortex Adrenal maintains metabolism and salt and water balance
Function of medulla Adrenal controls reactions to stress
location of Pancreas Glands islets of Langerhans in the pancreas
function of pancreatic glands to regulate level of sugar in the blood
Two main parts of the nervous system central nervous system and peripheral nervous system
Central Nervous System (CNS) Brain and Spinal Cord
Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) Nerves outside the brain and spinal cord
Two sections of Peripheral Nervous System Efferent (motor), and Afferent (sensory)
Efferent/Motor Division of PNS Nerve fibers that carry impulses away from the central nervous system
Afferent/Sensory Division of PNS Nerve fibers that carry information to the central nervous system
2 divisions of the Efferent division Somatic nervous system, Autonomic nervous system
Somatic nervous system voluntary movements (muscles)
Autonomic nervous system involuntary movements or reactions
2 divisions of Autonomic nervous system parasympathetic, and sympathetic
Parasympathetic "rest and digest"- flow of saliva, slows heartbeat, stimulates secretion, contracts bladder
Sympathetic "fight or flight"- dilates pupils, accelerates heartbeat, secretion of adrenaline

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.
