Question
Answer
The thalamus, hypothalamus and the epithalamus make up the   diencephalon  
🗑
part of the diencephalon that receive sensory info, integrates it and sends it to the cerebral cortex   thalamus  
🗑
part of the diencephalon that has a major role in cognition, emotion and memories   thalamus  
🗑
Which part of the diencephalon is a major regulator of homeostasis   hypothalamus  
🗑
Extending from the epithalamus is the ___________ glands   pineal gland  
🗑
this part of the diencephalon is part of the endocrine system and secrete melatonic to regulate the biological clock   epithalamus/pineal gland  
🗑
part of the brain that is the "seat of intelligence" - all conscious acs and higher thought occurs here   cerebrum  
🗑
is the external cerebral cortex made of white or gray matter   gray matter  
🗑
is the internal cerebral cortex made of white or gray matter   white matter  
🗑
what is gray matter nuclei   speckles of gray matter throughout the white matter  
🗑
which is the primary motor area of the cerebrum: precentral gyrus or postcentral gyrus   precentral gyrus  
🗑
which is the primary somatosensory area of the cerebrum: precentral gyrus or postcentral gyrus   postcentral gyrus  
🗑
fibers in the cerebrum that have nerve impulses within gyri in the same hemisphere   association fibers  
🗑
fibers in the cerebrum that correspond to gyrus in the opposite hemisphere   commissural fibers  
🗑
fibers in the cerebrum that are ascending or descending tracts between brain and spinal cord   projection fibers  
🗑
where are basal ganglia found   in masses of gray matter depp within each hemisphere  
🗑
what do basal ganglia do   begin/end movement, attention, memeory, planning, limbic system  
🗑
What do the association areas of teh cerebral cortex do?   put meaning to sensory input...integrate functions  
🗑
What are primary sensory areas responsible for?   only receive input such as shape, color, pitch, taste - DO NOT give meaning or names to the input  
🗑
What are secondary sensory areas responsible for?   giving meaning and recognition to the input received from sensory receptors
