2 Biological Foundations Of Behavior

Front 1

hindbrain contains:

Back 1

• the medulla
  
• the pons
  
• the cerebellum
  

Front 2

medulla

Back 2

controls breathing and a variety of reflexes

Front 3

pons

Back 3

concerned with balance, hearing, and some parasympathetic functions

Front 4

cerebellum

Back 4

responsible for maintaining muscle tone and coordinating muscular movements

Front 5

midbrain

Back 5

center for reflexes related to vision and hearing

Front 6

forebrain contains:

Back 6

• thalamus
  
• hypothalamus
  
• cerebral cortex
  

Front 7

thalamus

Back 7

a switching station that routes sensory information to the appropriate areas of the brain

Front 8

hypothalamus

Back 8

involved with our motives and emotions and most of the limbic system

Front 9

cerebral cortex -

Back 9

• contains two cerebral hemispheres connected by the corpus callosum
  
• each hemisphere contains four lobes
  
• controls conscious experience, intellectual activities, the senses, and voluntary actions, and is also important in processing emotions
  

Front 10

lobes of the cerebral cortex

Back 10

• frontal lobe
  
• parietal lobe
  
• temporal lobe
  
• occipital lobe
  

Front 11

frontal lobe involved with -

Back 11

speaking and voluntary movement

Front 12

parietal lobe is involved with -

Back 12

the sense of touch

Front 13

temporal lobe is involved with -

Back 13

hearing and understanding language

Front 14

occipital lobe is involved with -

Back 14

vision

Front 15

The hormones of the endocrine system influence:

Back 15

• emotional arousal
  
• metabolism
  
• sexual functioning
  
• and other bodily processes
  

Front 16

Function of the pituitary gland

AKA "the master gland" -

Back 16

regulates the activity of the other glands

Front 17

adrenal glands secrete:

Back 17

• epinephrine
  
• norepinephrine
  

Which influence emotional and sexual arousal as well as metabolic rates.

Front 18

The islets of Langerhans of the pancreas secrete:

Back 18

• glucagon
  
• insulin
  

Front 19

thyroid gland secretes

Back 19

thyroxin - helps control the metabolic rate

Front 20

parathyroid glands secrete-

Back 20

parathormone - controls the level of nervous activity

Front 21

pineal gland (attached to the top of the thalamus) secretes -

Back 21

melatonin

Front 22

Number of chromosomes contained by a normal human cell-

Back 22

46

Front 23

Number of chromosomal pairs contained by a normal human cell-

Back 23

23

Front 24

Number of chromosomes contained by a normal human SEX cell

Back 24
