| Part of the brain that is divided into the right and left hemisphere | cerebrum |
| The precentral gyrus of this cerebral lobe is the major cortex; nerve impulses that originate in the motor area control voluntary muscle activity | Frontal lobe |
| Composed of the thalamus and the hypothalamus | diencephlon |
| this sturcture means bridges;it helps regulate breathing rate and rhythm | Pons |
| The post central gyrus of this cerebral lobe is the primary somatosensory areaa | Parietal lobe |
| Cerebral lobe that contains the primary audoitory cortex (hearing) and the olfactory cortex (smell) | Temporal lobe |
| plays a key role in personality development, emotional and behavioral expressions, and performance of high level thinking and learning tasks | frontal lobe |
| part of thee brain called the "vital center" because it regulates vital processes such as blodd pressure,heart rate,and respirations | Medulla Oblongata |
| Part of the brain stem that contains the vomitting center | medulla oblongata |
| Cerebral lobe that contains the eye fields | frontal |
| cerebral lobe that controls motor speech | frontal lobe |
| the crossing of the most motor fibers occur here | Medulla oblongata |
| The central sulcus separtes the frontal lobe from this lobe | parietal |
| A sensory humunculus lives in this cerebral lobe | Parietal lobe |
| Brain structure that protrudes from under the occipital lobe; concerned primarily with the coordination of skeletal activity | cerebellum |
| Damage to this cerebral lobe causes cortical deafness | temporal lobe |
| part of the brain stem that recieves information from the chemoreceptor trigger zone (CTZ) | Medulla oblongata |
| composed of the frontal, parietal, ocippital, and temporal lobes | cerebrum |
| Type of glial cell that lines the inside cavities of the brain; helps form the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) | Ependymal cells |
| Part of the neuron that contains the nucleus; dendrites bring information to this structures and the axon carries information away from this structure. | cell body |
| Nerve cells that transmit information as electrical signals | Neurons |
| The processessing and interpretation of information by the cells of the CNS; decison making capabilites | Integrative function |
| Central lobe that is primarily concerned with vision | occipital lobe |
| Part of the nervous system consisting of sensory and morot nerves that connect the brain and the spinal cord with the rest of the body | |
| Nerves that gather information from the enviroment and carry it to the CNS | Sensory nerves |
| Part of the nervous system that contains the brain and spinal cord | Central nervous system CNS |
| Clusters of cell bodies located well within the CNS | Neuroglia |
| Common type of glial cell that supports and protects the neurons; helps form the blood brain barrier | Astrocyte |
| clusters of cell bodies located win the peripheral nervous system | Ganglia |
| Nerve tissue that is called "nerve glue"; composed of astrocytes, microglia, oligodenddrocytes, and ependymal | Neuroglia |
| We first become aware of pain at this level in the diencephlon however; this structure does not allow us to determine the type of pain or locate the source of the pain | Thalamus |
| Cluster of cell bodies loated in the peripheral nervous system | ganglia |
| relays information (sensory&motion) plays a role in respirations | Pons |
| Relays information (sensory& motor) associated with visual and auditory | Mid brain |
| Integratinh system for the autonomic nervous system; regulates temperature, water balance, sex, thirst, appetite, and emotions | hypothalamus |
| vital function reflux center for coughing, sneezing, swallowing, and vomitting(regulates heart rate, blood flow, blood pressure, respiratory ) | medulla oblongatat |
| Connects the spinal cord with pons; acts as a relay for sensory and motor functions including heart rate, blood pressure, and respirations | medulla oblongata |
| Relay structure and processing center for most sensory information going to the cerebrum | Thalamus |
| Hearing (auditory areaa) smell (olfactory) taste, memory storage, and part of speech | Temporal lobe |
| Damage to this produces jerrky movement, staggering gait; and difficulty maintaaining balance | Cerebellum |
| Glial cells that form the myelin sheath in the peripheral nervous system | Schawnn cells |
| Part of the axon where neurotransmitters are stored | axon terminal |
| CSF is formed from theses blood vessels and ependymal cells that line the ventricular walls | chorid plexus |
| Meningeal layer that forms the tentorium | Meninges |
| The middle layer of the meningies; means "spider" beacause the layer looks like a spiderr | Arachnoid mater |
| Hole in the center of the spinal cord through which CFS flows from the ventricles of the brain to the spinal cord | Central canal |
| Finger-like structures that project into the dural sinuses to allow drainage of the CSF | Arachnoid villi |
| The soft innermost layer of the meninges; means "soft mother" | Pia mater |
| Cranium and vertebral column | bone |
| This widespreaad grouup of cells are concerned with the sleep-wake cycle and consciouness; signals passing from this structure keep us awake | Reticular formation |
| the astrocytes help to form this capillary structure that prevents harmful substances in the blood from diffusing in the brain and spinal cord | Blood-brain barrier |
| CSF circulates aroud the brain and spinal cord within this structure | subarachnoid |
| cavities that are filled with blood and help drain the CSF | Dural sinuses |
| called the lateral, third and fourth | ventricles |
| Hearing and smell | temporal |
| Vision and vision-related; judging distance; seeing 3d | occipital lobe |

| A thin layer of gray matter that forms the outermost layer portion of tthe cerebrum | Cerebral cortex |
| seperates the temporal lobe from the frontal lobe and the parietal | Lateral sulcus |
| seperates the right and left cererbal hemispheres | longitudinal fissure |
