produces melatonin prepares body for sleep, sleep and waking

controls language reception - a brain area involved in language comprehension and expression; usually in the left temporal lobe

happiness, reasoning, long-term memory, problem-solving

language and understanding, hearing, hearing and understanding speech

bodily sensations (touch, temperature, pain), taste

muscle coordination and balance

Controls language expression - an area of the frontal lobe, usually in the left hemisphere, that directs the muscle movements involved in speech. Speech production.

area at the front of the parietal lobes that registers and processes body touch and movement sensations

Part of the brainstem that controls vital life-sustaining functions such as heartbeat, breathing, blood pressure, and digestion.

Connection to spinal cord. Filters information flow between peripheral nervous system and the rest of the brain.

master endocrine gland; linked to growth

A brain structure that relays information from the cerebellum to the rest of the brain. Responsible for coordination and movement (relays messages between cerebrum and cerebellum); involved in sleep, dreams, and attention.

Relays information from the senses and transmits the information to the cerebral cortex.

neural system located below the cerebral hemispheres; associated with emotions and drives (hippocampus, amygdala, pituitary gland, hypothalamus)

Brain lobes/function

Question	Answer
pineal body	produces melatonin prepares body for sleep, sleep and waking
Wernicke's area	controls language reception - a brain area involved in language comprehension and expression; usually in the left temporal lobe
olfactory bulb	smell
frontal lobe	happiness, reasoning, long-term memory, problem-solving
temporal lobe	language and understanding, hearing, hearing and understanding speech
parietal lobe	bodily sensations (touch, temperature, pain), taste
cerebellum	muscle coordination and balance
occipital lobe	vision
motor cortex	movement
hypothalamus	thirst and hunger, smell
amygdala	happiness, stress
hippocampus	long-term memory
Broca's area	Controls language expression - an area of the frontal lobe, usually in the left hemisphere, that directs the muscle movements involved in speech. Speech production.
sensory cortex	area at the front of the parietal lobes that registers and processes body touch and movement sensations
medulla oblongata	Part of the brainstem that controls vital life-sustaining functions such as heartbeat, breathing, blood pressure, and digestion.
brain stem	Connection to spinal cord. Filters information flow between peripheral nervous system and the rest of the brain.
pituitary gland	master endocrine gland; linked to growth
pons	A brain structure that relays information from the cerebellum to the rest of the brain. Responsible for coordination and movement (relays messages between cerebrum and cerebellum); involved in sleep, dreams, and attention.
thalamus	Relays information from the senses and transmits the information to the cerebral cortex.
limbic system	neural system located below the cerebral hemispheres; associated with emotions and drives (hippocampus, amygdala, pituitary gland, hypothalamus)
