Parts of the brain
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Medula | Regulates respiration, heart rate, and blood pressure (Central Core) |
| Pons | Regulates sleep-wake cycles (Central Core) |
| Cerebellum | Regulates reflexes and balance coordinates movement (Central Core) |
| Thalamus | Major sensory relay center (Central Core) |
| Hypothalamus | Emotion and motivation; stress reactions and eating and drinking; sexual activity (Central Core) |
| Hippocampus | Essential role in forming new memories (Limbic system) |
| Amygdala | Governs emotions related to self-persevation |
| Temporal Lobe | Smelling, Hearing, balance and equilibrium; Emotion and motivation; Language comprehension and complex visual processing |
| Occipital lobe | Receives and processes visual information |
| Parietal lobe | Sensory projection and association areas; Visual/spacial abilities receives bulk of sensory information |
| Frontal Lobe | Voluntary action and problem-solving tasks "control center" for the brain parts. Organizes information |
| Central Fissure | separates primary somatosensory cortex from the primary motor cortex |
| Primary motor cortex | (Frontal Lobe) sends messages to muscles and glands; key role in voluntary movement |
| Primary somatosensory cortex | Registers sensory messages from the entire body |
| Olfactory bulb | Responsible for sense of smell |
| Lateral sulcus | seperates parietal and temporal lobes |
| Pituitary gland | Produces Growth hormone and regulates endocrine functions. |
| Pineal Gland | Causes sleepiness, Secretes hormone Melatonin; converts nervous system signals to endocrine signals |
| Corpus Callosum | connects left and right hemispheres |
| Cingulate gyrus | Regulates aggressive behavior, Emotional responses to pain, and Coordinates sensory input with emotions |
| midbrain | where pain is registered, important in hearing and sight |
| Reticular Formation | network of neurons in hindbrain, midbrain, and part of forebrain; to alert and arouse higher parts of the brain |
| neurogenesis | growth of new neurons |
| CNS | central nervous contains brain and spinal coard (90% of neurons) |
| PNS | Peripheral nervous; connects CNS to rest of body |
| Hindbrain | area containing medulla, pons, and cerebellum |
