(23 cards)

Pituitary Gland

Front

Regulates growth and hormones.

Back

Thalamus

Front

Sensory control center, sends messages to the sensory receiving areas in the cortex and sends replies to the cerebellum and medulla

Back

Motor Cortex

Front

Voluntary muscle movements

Back

Amygdala

Front

2 lima bean sized neural clusters in the limbic system; linked to emotion

Back

Right Hemisphere

Front

Controls left side of the body. Tasks with creativity.

Back

Occipital Lobe

Front

Receives information from visual fields. Cerebral cortex in back of head

Back

Frontal Lobe

Front

Portion of the cerebral cortex lying just behind the forehead; involved in speaking and muscle movements and in making plans and judgements.

Back

Hindbrain

Front

the lower part of the brainstem, comprising the pons, and medulla oblongata.

Back

Hippocampus

Front

Processes conscious memories

Back

Hypothalamus

Front

A neural structure lying below the thalamus; it directs several maintenance activities (eating, drinking, body temperature), helps govern the endocrine system via the pituitary gland, and is linked to emotion and reward.

Back

Forebrain (cerebral cortex)

Front

Intricate fabric of interconnected neural cells covering the cerebral hemispheres; body's ultimate control and information- processing center. Contains lobes

Back

Cerebellum

Front

the "little brain" at the rear of the brainstem; functions include processing sensory input and coordinating movement output and balance

Back

Medulla

Front

Base of brain stem. Controls breathing and heartbeat

Back

Left Hemisphere

Front

Controls right side of the body. Tasks with logic.

Back

Association areas

Front

areas of the cerebral cortex that are not involved in primary motor or sensory functions; rather, they are involved in higher mental functions such as learning, remembering, thinking, and speaking

Back

Parietal Lobe

Front

Portion of the cerebral cortex lying at the top of the head and towards the rear; receives sensory info for touch and body position

Back

Temporal Lobe

Front

Auditory area

Back

Broca's Area

Front

Expressive aspects of spoken and written language, produces speech

Back

Reticular Formation

Front

a nerve network in the brainstem and thalamus. plays an important role in controlling arousal

Back

Midbrain

Front

A small part of the brain above the pons that transmits sensory info from cerebellum and medulla and relays it upward.

Back

Pons

Front

Coordinate movement and sleep, above medulla

Back

Wernick's Area

Front

Comprehending speech, temporal lobe

Back

Corpus Callosum

Front

Connect the two hemispheres and sends messages

Back
