17 structures of the brain
Hypothalamus & Posterior Pituitary
Below thalamus, HOMEOSTASIS
Cerebrum
Biggest piece of the brain, INTEGRATION OF INFORMATION
Medulla Oblangato
Bottom piece of brainstem
Brainstem
Breathing, circulation, digestion Sorting and sending incoming information from nerves, located at the bottom of the main body of the brain, hence the name
Corpus Collosum
Connects the hemispheres of the cerebrum, inbetween them
Cerebellum
Coordination, motor control, motor memory, adjacent to the brainstem, back part of brain
Motor Cortex
Inside of FRONTAL LOBE, adjacent to the somatosensory cortex
Somatosensory Cortex
Inside of PARIETAL LOBE, adjacent to the motor cortex
Temporal Lobe
Language, Hearing, and Memory, bottom lobe
Frontal Lobe
Lobe, Executive functions(emotion, decision, etc.)
Parietal Lobe
Lobe, Sensory, top of the brain, somewhat further back than it is close to the front
Occipital Lobe
Lobe, Vision, all the way at the back of brain
Cerebral Cortex
Made up by the lobes
Pons
Middle piece of brainstem
Thalamus
Sorts info for cerebrum, at about the center of the brain
Basal ganglia
Underneath corpus collosum, motor control
Midbrain
Upper piece of brainstem
