What are the parts of the cerebrum?
|
Cerebral cortex
Basal Nuclei Limbic System |
|
|
What does the cerebral cortex do? What part of the brain is it in?
|
1) Sensory perception
2) Motor control 3) Higher order cognitive function Cerebellum |
|
|
What does the frontal lobe do?
|
Skeletal muscle movement
Motor association area Primary motor cortex |
|
|
What does the parietal lobe do?
|
Sensory association area
Primary somatic sensory cortex Sensory information from skin, musculoskeletal system, viscera, and taste buds Coordinates information from other association areas, controls some behaviors |
|
|
What does the occipital lobe do?
|
Visual association area
Visual cortex Vision |
|
|
What does the temporal lobe do?
|
Auditory cortex
Auditory association area Hearing |
|
|
What is the last part of the brain to mature?
|
Prefrontal association area.
Decision making/opinions/judgement Central impulses |
|
|
What does the basal nuclei do? What part of the brain is it in?
|
Part of the motor control (nigrostriatal) pathway. Responsible for initiating and controlling posture and voluntary motor functions.
Cerebellum |
|
|
What does the limbic system consist of? What does each part do? And what part of the brain is the limbic system in?
|
Emotional generating system of the brain.
Provides link between higher cognitive function and emotion Memory & learning Amygdala Emotion and memory cingulate gyrus Emotion hippocampus Learning and memory Cerebellum |
|
|
What are the parts of the Diencephalon?
|
Thalamus
Pineal Gland Pituitary Hypothalamus |
|
|
What does the thalamus do? What part of the brain is it in?
|
Relay information entering the cerebrum from the spinal cord
Contributes to motor control by working with basal nuclei in the motor control pathway Diencephalon |
|
|
What does the pineal gland do? What part of the brain is it in?
|
Utilizes serotonin to make melatonin, which helps facilitate the transition from wakefulness to sleep.
Diencephalon |
|
|
What does the pituitary do? What part of the brain is it in?
|
Master gland, Hormone secreting gland that releases hormones to distant endocrine glands
Diencephalon |
|
|
What does the hypothalamus do? What part of the brain is it in?
|
Activates sympathetic nervous system. Controls catecholamine release from adrenal medulla (fight/flight). Helps maintain blood glucose concentration through effects on endocrine pancreas.
Maintains body temp Controls body osmolarity Controls reproductive functions COntrols food intake Interacts with limbic system to influence behavior and emotion Influences cardiovascular control center in the medulla oblongata Secretes trophic hormones that control release of hormone from anterior pituitary gland. |
|
|
What does the brain stem consists of?
|
Mid brain
Pons Medulla oblongata Diffuse modulatory system |
|
|
What does the medulla oblongata do? What part of the brain is it in?
|
Contains cardiovascular control center for regulation of heart rate and blood pressure
Controls primitive3 involuntary functions of swallowing and vomiting Works with pons to regulate breathing Relay of ascending sensory tract and descending motor tracts Pyramids are major site of crossover of neural tracts (known as decussation) between brain and spinal cord. Brain stem |
|
|
What does the mid brain do? What part of the brain is it in?
|
Substantia nigra: Voluntary movement
Ventral tegmental area (VTA). Mesolimbic reward system. Brain Stem |
|
|
What does the pons do? What part of the brain is it in?
|
Respiratory control center that regulates rate, depth, and rhythm of breathing.
Relay center between cerebrum and cerebellum Brain Stem |
|
|
What are the parts of the cerebellum?
|
No parts.
|
|
|
What does the cerebellum do?
|
Functions to coordinate voluntary motor respoinses with changes in body position
Links skeletal muscle with motor cortex |
