The insula helps with your sense of

sight

Afferent

neurons carry impulses from stimuli toward the central nervous system

The occipital lobe controls

vision

The sympathetic division of the nervous system is involved with

"fight or flight" response to stressful stimuli

Which part of the brain controls feelings, personality, and complex thought?

Frontal Lobe

Regulates endocrine (hormonal) output of the pituitary gland.

Hypothalamus

Mediates emotional response and is involved in memory processing.

Limbic system

pineal gland

Location: brain stem regulates daily rhythms

Midbrain

Location: brain stems important functions in motor movements, specifically of the eye, and auditory, tactile and visual processing.

Sulci are _________________ found in the brain.

grooves

Contains the visual, auditory, and tactile reflex centers.

midbrain

The frontal lobe controls

movement, emotion, speech, smell, and personality

Gyri are ____________ found in the brain.

ridges

When you react to catch a dropped ruler your body reacts in this order:

1) eyes sense ruler move 2) message sent to brain 3) message sent to muscles 4) muscles contract

The cerebellum controls

Balance and coordination

Which one of the following senses travel through the thalamus?

Hearing, olfactory, touch

What part of the brain regulates the sleep/wake cycles, water balance, food intake, and temperature

Hypothalamus

Insula

Location: Cerebrum taste, visceral sensation and autonomic control

Thalamus

Location: diencephalon sensory relay center, memory and emotions

Senses recognize ____________ which are recognized by the brain and results in a response.

Stimuli (plural of stimulus)

Relays sensory impulses to cerebral cortex and involved in memory and emotions

Thalamus

The _______________ of a neuron receives signals.

dendrite

Efferent

neurons are motor neurons that carry impulses toward muscles to cause movement.

You actually do 'have eyes in the back of your head' because this region of the brain responsible for visual processing is right above the cerebellum!

occipital lobe

What part of the brain regulates the daily body rhythms?

pineal gland

Relays info from the cerebrum to the cerebellum.

pons

The ______________ hemisphere is associated with artistic and musical expression.

right

The parietal lobe controls

senses of touch

There are ___________ pairs of cranial nerves.

12

There are ____________ pairs of spinal nerves.

31

Point where the spinal cord connects with the brain. The brain stem takes in, sends out, and coordinates all of the brain's messages. It controls the body's vital functions, such as heartbeat, breathing, swallowing, and digestion.

Brain stem

The brain has 3 major sections that send and receive signals to control all the activities that keep a person functioning efficiently. Which major section controls breathing and heart beat?

Brain stem

When this area of the brain is damaged, patients loose the ability to speak fluently.

Broca's area

What is the largest area of the brain that controls everything conscious?

Cerebrum

Frontal lobe

Location: Cerebrum Thinking, planning, problem solving, emotions, behavioral control, decision making, motor cortex, movement, speech, smell, & personality

The primary motor cortex is located in which lobe of the brain?

Frontal

The ________ hemisphere deals with logical processes such as math, and controls the right side of the body.

Left

Pons

Location: Above medulla below midbrain A group of nerves that function as a connection between the cerebrum and cerebellum and acts as a control center and breathing rate.

Cerebellum

Location: Cerebellum coordinate voluntary muscle movements and to maintain posture, balance, and equilibrium.

Parietal lobe

Location: Cerebrum Controls sensations, touch and limb positioning, sensory cortex

Cerebrum

Location: Cerebrum Coordination of movement, temperature, touch, vision, problem solving, and judgment.

Temporal Lobe

Location: Cerebrum Processing the things that we hear and sends it to the brain

Occipital lobe

Location: Cerebrum Responsible for vision/aspects of vision such as memory information, movement, object recognition, color determination, distance, depth perception and face recognition.

Limbic System

Location: Cerebrum & diencephalon emotion, memory and learning

Hypothalamus

Location: Diencephalon Involved in daily activities (eating or drinking), control of the body's temperature and maintenance (Homeostasis), in the process of memorizing, and stress control. Also modulates the endocrine system.

Medulla Oblongata

Location: Diencephalon reflex center for vomiting, coughing, sneezing, hiccupping, and swallowing; regulation of heart rate

Reticular formation

Location: brain stem muscle tone, assist in respiration, heart rate, and blood pressure, wakes a sleeping person

The brain stem includes

Midbrain, pons, Medulla Oblongata and the reticular formation

Which type of neuron would transmit information to your triceps muscle?

Motor

The primary sensory cortex is located in which lobe of the brain?

Parietal

Tim is having difficulty processing anything hot when he touches something, which lobe is not functioning properly?

Parietal Lobe

Which part of the brain controls balance and coordination?

cerebellum

What part of the brain deals with the thalamus and hypothalamus?

diencephalan

What are the three membranes of the central nervous system?

dura mater, arachnoid mater, pia mater

Nerve cells that contain unmyelinated fibers are termed

gray matter
