QuestionAnswer
Which brain division? Conscious thought processes, memory storage/processing, conscious/subconscious regulation of skeletal muscles. Cerebrum
Which brain division? Relay and processing centers for sensory information. Diencephalon (thalamus)
Which brain division? Centers controlling emotions, autonomic functions, and hormone production. Diencephalon (hypothalamus)
Which brain division? processing visual/auditory data, generation of reflexive somatic motor responses, maintenance of consciousness. Brain stem (mesencephalon)
Which brain division? Relays sensory information to cerebellum and thalamus, subconscious somatic/visceral motor centers, and helps regulate respiration Brain stem (pons)
Which brain division? Relays sensory information to thalamus and other portions of the brain stem, autonomic centers for regulation of visceral function (digestive, cardiovascular, respiratory) Brain stem (medulla oblongata)

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
