front 3 Gyri | back 3 are the raised ridges or folds on the surface of the brain. |
front 4 Sulci (space in between) | back 4 are the shallow grooves or indentations between the gyri of the brain. |
front 5 The frontal lobes are responsible for | back 5 motor activities, conscious thought, and speech, personality, planning, and impulsiveness |
front 6 Posterior to the frontal lobe The parietal lobe are responsible for | back 6 body sense, perception, and understanding language |
front 7 Occipital lobe | back 7 responsible for vision |
front 8 temporal lobes | back 8 involved in hearing and the integration of sensory information and memory |
front 9 The insula | back 9 known as the 5th lobe, help coordinate autonomic(visceral) functions, emotion processing, taste perception, interoception(awareness of internal body sensations), Pain perception, Anxiety & addiction pathways, It connects emotional experience with physical sensations. |
front 10 precentral gyrus | back 10 is the primary motor cortex of the brain. It controls voluntary skeletal muscle movement, Sends signals to skeletal muscles, Contains the motor homunculus |
front 11 postcentral gyrus | back 11 is the primary somatosensory cortex of the brain. It is responsible for processing sensory information from the body |
front 12 Brocas area located in the frontal lobe | back 12 controls motor output for speech |
front 13 Wernickes area located in the parietal and temporal lobes | back 13 controls sensory aspects of language, including understanding |
front 14 Cerebellum | back 14 posterior to the brain stem and plays an important role in sensory and motor coordination, balance, and cognitive functions |
front 15 The brain stem last part Medulla oblongata | back 15 responsible for impulses that control heartbeat, breathing, and the muscle tone in blood vessels, which controls blood pressure |
front 16 The brain stem Superior to the medulla oblongata The pons | back 16 connects the medulla oblongata and the cerebellum with the upper portions of the brain, they also play a role in breathing |
front 17 The brain stem Top of the brain stem midbrain | back 17 acts as a two way conduction pathway to relay visual and auditory impulses and other information to the cerebrum |
front 18 The brain stem | back 18 receives sensory information and contains control systems for vital functions such as blood pressure, heart rate, and breathing, this controls the vital functions of life |
front 19 The four fluid filled cavities in the brain are called | back 19 ventricles, they allow for the culation of cerebrospinal fluid throughout the brain |
front 20 The corpus callosum | back 20 thick band of white matter fibers that connects the right and left cerebral hemispheres, It allows the two sides of the brain to communicate and share information. |
front 21 The thalamus | back 21 replays and processes information going to the cerebrum |
front 22 Hypothalamus | back 22 regulates hormone levels, temperature, water balance, thirst, appetite, sleep wake cycles and some emotions( pleasure and fear); regulates the pituitary gland and controls the endocrine system |
front 23 Pineal Body | back 23 responsible for secretion of melatonin(body clock) |
front 24 Pituitary gland | back 24 secretes hormones for various functions |
front 25 The basal nuclei are | back 25 clusters of gray matter located deep within the cerebral hemispheres. |
front 26 Somatic sensory system | back 26 provides sensory input for your nervous system to |
front 27 Somatic sensation | back 27 allows you to feel the world around you crude touch, vibration, pain, temperature, and body position |
front 28 Somatic nervous system | back 28 controls voluntary movements under orders from the cerebral cortex |
front 29 Limbic system | back 29 controls emotion and mood |
front 30 The basal nuclei (also called basal ganglia) are | back 30 are deep clusters of gray matter that help control and fine-tune movement. |
front 31 The thalmus, basal nuclei, and cerebellum are all apart of the | back 31 motor coordination loop |
front 32 Limbuc system | back 32 mood, emotion and memory |
front 33 Stoke or Cerebral Vascular accident(CVA) | back 33 is caused by disruption of blood flow to a portion of the brain due to either hemorrhage or blood clot |
front 34 Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) | back 34 It happens when there is a temporary blockage of blood flow to the brain, but the blockage resolves before permanent damage occurs. |
front 35 huntingtins disease | back 35 a progressive disorder causing deterioration of neurons in the basal nuclei and eventually of the cerebral cortex |
