Front 9

Cranial Nerve Nuclei

Back 9

Located in brainstem; important motor functions (taste and touch)

Front 10

Corpus Collosum

Back 10

White matter; made up of axons and nerve cells and comprised of three parts:

Genu (ven)
Body (middle)
Splenium (tail)

A large band of nerve fibers through which information flows between the left and right hemispheres.

Front 11

Cerebellum

Back 11

"Little brain" important for memory and cognition.

Front 12

Frontal Lobe

Back 12

The three gyri found in the frontal lobe are involved with motor function, and body movement.. More anterior areas are involved with cognitive processes (attention, memory, reasoning) and our personality.

Cognitive/Executive functions.

Front 13

Parietal Lobe

Back 13

Responsible for the conscious reception and integration of various sensations (taste and touch). Critical to language function.

Front 14

Occipital Lobe

Back 14

Devoted to vision and visual processing. Refer to this as a "unit".

Front 15

Temporal Lobe

Back 15

Critical for auditory function and language comprehension.

Front 16

Heschl's Gyrus (Anatomic)

Back 16

Location: Temporal Lobe; Found at the very superior aspect of the superior temporal gyrus. Key for incoming auditory information bilaterally and receptive language. Information comes from the cochlea.

Sulci: Lateral Fissure

Front 17

Central Sulcus

Back 17

Divides the frontal lobe from the parietal lobe in each hemisphere.

Front 18

Pre-Central Gyrus

Back 18

In the frontal lobe.

Function: Volitional Movement

Sulci: Central Sulcus

Front 19

Post-Central Gyrus

Back 19

In the parietal lobe.

Function: Conscious Sensation

Sulci: Longitudinal Fissure

Front 20

Angular Gyrus

Back 20

Location: Bridges the parietal lobe.

Function: Written and Language Comprehension

Sulci: Post Central Sulcus

Front 21

Superior Temporal Gyrus

Back 21

Location: Temporal Lobe

Function: Receptive Language

Sulci: Superior Temporal Sulcus
Middle Temporal Sulcus

Front 22

Superior Temporal Sulcus

Back 22

Location: Temporal Lobe

Front 23

Orbital Gyrus

Back 23

Location: Frontal Lobe, Ventral Goes Deep and sits above eye socket.

Function: Cognition and Memory

Sulci: Lateral Fissure

Front 24

Medulla

Back 24

Means the “inner part” or an organ or tissue. An inner region. This term just has an anatomic meaning.

Refers to “deep tracts” in central nervous system. Connects left hemisphere to right.

Front 25

Peripheral Nervous System

Back 25

Somatic Nervous System and Autonomic Nervous System (Visceral).

Front 26

Autonomic Nervous System

Back 26

Also known as Visceral; contains Sympathetic Nervous System and Parasympathetic Nervous System.

Front 27

Somatic Division

Back 27

Part of the Peripheral Nervous System; innervate muscles and receive sensory information of which we are conscious.

Front 28

Autonomic Division

Back 28

Part of the Peripheral Nervous system; innervate glands and receive sensory information that we are generally unaware of.
