Term
Definition
Function
Location
Auditory Areas   areas responsible for information Heard   Hearing and Interpretation   Temporal Lobe - latterally and superiorly  
🗑
Olfactory Areas   areas responsible for information smelled   Smell and Interpretation   Temporal Lobe - medially (cannot be seen from the outside)  
🗑
Postcentral Gyrus   primary Sensory area   perception of Pain, Touch, Pressure, and Temperature   Parietal Lobe  
🗑
Association Areas   Interprets shapes, images, textures, and physical realtionships of body parts   enables the use of words to express thoughts   Parietal Lobe  
🗑
Primary Visual Area   RECEPTION of visual input from eyes, forming color, shapes, and images   control eye movement   Occipital Lobe  
🗑
Hemispheric Specialization   traits of thought alotted to a specific hemisphere of the brain   Right cerrebrum = Artistic skills and Spatial relationships Left cerrebrum = Numerical and Language skills   Occipital Lobe  
🗑
Precentral Gyrus   primary Motor area   motor nerve tracts originate here   Frontal Lobe  
🗑
Speech Area   area related to speech   regulates patterns of Breathing and Vocalization   Frontal Lobe  
🗑
Prefrontal   association areas   Social behaviors, Problem solving, Time relationships, Foresight, and Judgement   Frontal Lobe  
🗑
Basal Nuclei   The basal nuclei is a group of cell bodies found deep in the white matter of the cerebral hemispheres   Adjusts and Subdues motor activity   Gray matter bilateral to the Thalamus  
🗑
Limbic System   includes the hypothalamus, the hippocampus, the amygdala, and several other nearby areas   regulates Behavioral aspects of major emotions: pain, guilt, pleasure, sexual gratification, and Long Term memory   around Lateral ventricles  
🗑
Thalamus   relay point for Sensory info that will be passed to the Primary sensory area of the Cerebral Cortex   allows crude Appreciation of Most sensations - Directs and Coordinates MOTOR activities   Forebrain - deep gray matter Medial to Basal Nuclei  
🗑
Hypothalamus   between the thalamus and the midbrain   1. regulates Behavior associated with FEAR 2. controls most of the AUTONOMIC nervous system 3. regulates certain Survival Functions (thermoregulation, appetite, sexual desire) 4. controls secretion of Pituitary gland   Forebrain - gray matter forming the floor of the 3rd ventricle  
🗑
1st and 2nd (Lateral) Ventricles   two curved openings (shaped like a horseshoe) located   within cerebrum, drain into Inter ventricular Foramen to 3rd ventricle - provide a pathway for cerebrospinal fluid   deep within the top section of the brain  
🗑
3rd Ventricle   a narrow, four-sided, irregularly shaped opening that provides a pathway for cerebrospinal fluid   within cerebrum, drains into Cerebral Aqueduct   between Thalamic deep within the top section of the brain  
🗑
4th Ventricle   an irregular ventricle between the third ventricle and the central canal of the spinal cord   drains into Median and Lateral Apertures to the SUBARACHINOID SPACE   Hindbrain, between Medulla and Cerebellum  
🗑
Cerebral Peduncles   One of two large bands of white matter (containing descending axons of upper motor neurons)   contains MOTOR projection tracts TO Pons and SENSORY tracts FROM Spinal Cord to Thalamus   Midbrain  
🗑
Reticular Formations   core of gray matter extending into Forebrain and Hindbrain   determines level of Conciousness and arousal of the Cortex   Midbrain  
🗑
Corpora Quadrigemina   The inferior and superior colliculi collectively   Superior Colliculi (2): VISUAL Reflexes (involuntary eye/head movement) Inferior Colliculi (2): AUDITORY reflexes (involutary head movement)   Midbrain  
🗑
Cerebellum   thin cortex composed of gray matter   1. Muscular Memory: habitual actions (walking, driving) 2. Normal locomotion 3. adjusts postural muscles for balance   Hindbrain  
🗑
Pons   "Bridge" that links Cerebral Hemispheres and connects the Cerebellum with the Cerebrum (above) and Medulla (below)   works with the Medulla to control BREATHING   Hindbrain  
🗑
Medulla (Oblongata)   lover Brain Stem, continuous with the Spinal Cord   Crossing nerve tracts carrying voluntary MOTOR Output from the Cerebral Cortex - Vital centers: respiration, heart rate, vasomotor control; Non-Vital centers: coughing, vomiting, swallowing   Hindbrain - pyramid formations bilateral to cleavage line  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
