| Ulnar nerve | helps you move your forearm, hand, and fourth and fifth fingers |
| Radial nerve | a peripheral nerve supplying specific parts of the arm, forearm, wrist, and hand |
| Median nerve | provides sensory and motor (movement) functions to your forearm, wrist and hands. |
| Sciatic nerve | a long, important nerve that starts just outside of your spine and then travels through your pelvis, into your butt and then to the back of each thigh in each leg |
| Occipital Lobe | visual processing area of the brain |
| Cerebellum | The portion of the brain in the back of the head between the cerebrum and the brain stem |
| Brain Stem | the structure that connects the cerebrum of the brain to the spinal cord and cerebellum |
| Frontal Lobe | the front-most part of your brain |
| Temporal Lobe | processing auditory information and with the encoding of memory. |
| Parietal Lobe | vital for sensory perception and integration, including the management of taste, hearing, sight, touch, and smell. |
| Wernicke’s Area | region of the brain that contains motor neurons involved in the comprehension of speech |
| Broca’s Area | associated with speech production and articulation |
| Sensory Cortex | he sensory cortex includes portions of the cerebral cortex, that wrinkly outer layer of the brain that process and make sense out of information gathered by our five senses: vision, audition (sound), olfaction (smell), gustation (taste), and somatosensati |
| Motor Cortex | coordinates movements across multiple joints and muscle groups to achieve smooth and purposeful actions. |
| Spinal Cord | a tube of tissue |
| Gyrus/Gyri | a ridge-like elevation found on the surface of the cerebral cortex. |
| Sulcus/Sulci | a shallow depression or groove in the cerebral cortex |
| Brain Stem | the structure that connects the cerebrum of the brain to the spinal cord and cerebellum. |
| Amygdala | a major processing center for emotions |
| Hypothalamus | an area of the brain that produces hormones that regulate: Body temperature. Heart rate. Hunger. Mood. |
| Olfactory Bulbs | A rounded mass of tissue that contains several types of nerve cells that are involved in the sense of smell |
| Limbic System | a group of interconnected brain structures that help regulate your emotions and behavior |
| Hippocampus | a complex brain structure embedded deep into temporal lobe |
| Corpus Callosum | a structure in the middle of your brain that connects the right and left hemispheres (sides). |
| Pineal Gland | a tiny endocrine gland in the middle of your brain that helps regulate your body's circadian rhythm by secreting the hormone melatonin. |
| Pituitary Gland | a small gland in your brain that makes and controls many hormones |
