|---|---|
| Each half of the cerebrum | Hemisphere |
| The "little" brain the coordinates voluntary muscles movements | Cerebellum |
| An individual subdivision of the cerebrum that regulates specific functions | Lobe |
| The portion of the brain that contains the thalamus and hypothalamus | Diencephalon |
| Connects the spinal cord with the brain | Brainstem |
| The largest part of the brain | Cerebrum |
| The weblike middle meningeal layer | Arachnoid |
| Venous channel between the two outermost meninges | Subarachnoid space |
| The innermost layer of the meninges, the delicate membrane in which there are many blood vessels | Pia mater |
| The area in which cerebrospinal fluid collects before it's return to the blood | Dural sinus |
| The vascular network in a ventricle that forms cerebrospinal fluid | Choroid Plexus |
| The projections in the dural sinuses through which CSF is returned to the blood | Arachnoid Villi |
| The outermost layer of the meninges, which is the thickest and toughest | Dura mater |
| A shallow groove that separates the temporal lobe from the frontal and parietal lobes | lateral sulcus |
| Masses of gray matter deep within the cerebrum that help regulate body movement and the muscles of facial expressions | Basal ganglia |
| A band of white matter that carries impulses between the cerebrum and the brainstem | Internal capsule |
| An elevated portion of the cerebral cortex | Gyrus |
| A band of myelinated fibers that bridges the two cerebral hemispheres | Coupus Callosum |
| The neurotransmitter used by the basal nuclei neurons | Dopamine |
| The portion of the cerebral cortex where visual impulses from the retina interpreted | Occipital Lobe |
| The portion of the cerebral cortex where auditory impulses are interpreted | Temporal Lobe |
| Location of a sensory area for interpretation of pain, touch, and temperature | Parietal Lobe |
| The lobe controlling voluntary muscles | Frontal Lobe |
| The portion of the brainstem composed of myelinated nerve fibers that connects to the cerebellum | Pons |
| The superior portion of the brainstem | Midbrain |
| The part of the brain between the pons and the spinal cord | Medulla oblongate |
| The region of the diencephalon that acts as a relay center for sensory stimuli | Thalamus |
| The region consisting of portions of the cerebrum and diencephalon that is involved in emotional states and behavior | Limbic System |
| Nuclei that regulate the contraction of smooth muscles in blood vessel walls | Vasomotor Center |
| The portion of the brain controlling the autonomic nervous system | Hypothalamus |
| 3 Functions of the cerebellum are | 1. Balance 2. Coordination 3. Muscle Tone - Produce charges |

| Technique that measures electric currents in the brain | EEG |
| X-Ray technique the provides photos of bone, cavities, and lesions | CT |
| Technique used to visualize soft tissue, such as scar tissue, hemorrhages, and tumors that does not use x-rays | MRI |
| A motor nerve controlling the trapezius, sternocleidomastoid, and larynx muscles | Accessory nerve |
| The nerve that controls contraction of a single eye muscle | Trochlear nerve |
| The nerve that carries visual impulses from the eye to the brain | Optic nerve |
| The most important sensory nerve of the face and head | Trigeminal nerve |
| The nerve the supplies most of the organs in the thoracic and abdominal cavities | Vagus nerve |
| The nerve the supplies the muscles of facial expression | Facial nerve |
| The nerve that carries sensory impulses for hearing and equilibrium | Vestibulocochlear nerve |
| A brain tumor derived from neuroglia | Glioma |
