Brain Structures And Functions

Front 1

Cerebrum

Back 1

Conscious thought processes,

intellectual functions.

Memory storage and processing.

Conscience and subconscious

regulation of skeletal muscle

contractions.

Hint 1

Telencephalon/Lateral ventricles

Front 2

Midbrain

Back 2

Processing of visual and auditory

data.

Generation of reflexive somatic

motor response.

Maintenance of consciousness.

Hint 2

Brain stem/Mesencephalon/Cerebral aqueduct

Front 3

Hypothalamus

Back 3

-subconscious control of skeletal muscle contractions.

-control of autonomic functions.

-coordination of activities of the nervous and endocrine systems.

-secretion of two hormones.

-production of emotions and behavioral drives.

-coordinate between voluntary and autonomic functions.

-regulation of body temperature.

-control of circadian rhythms.

Hint 3

Diencephalon/Third ventricle

Front 4

Hypothalamus

Back 4

5) The production of emotions and behavioral drives such as sensation of hunger, sensation of thirst, and regulates food intake

6) Coordination between voluntary and autonomic functions

7) The regulation of body temperature

8) the control of circadian rhythms

Front 5

Pons

Back 5

Relays sensory information to cerebellum and thalamus.

Subconscious somatic and visceral motor centers.

Hint 5

Brain stem/Metencephalon/Fourth ventricle

Front 6

Cerebellum

Back 6

Coordinates complex somatic motor patterns.

Adjusts output of other somatic motor centers in brain and spinal cord.

Hint 6

Metencephalon/Fourth ventricle

Front 7

Medulla oblongata

Back 7

Relay sensory information to thalamus and to other portions of the brain stem.

Autonomic centers for regulation of visceral function (cardiovascular, respiratory, and digestive system activities.

Hint 7

Brain stem/Myelencephalon

Front 8

Thalamus

Back 8

Relay and processing centers for

sensory information

Hint 8

Diencephalon/Third ventricle

Front 9

Formation and Circulation of CSF

Back 9

1) the choroid plexus produces and maintains CSF.

2) the CSF circulates from the

choroid plexuses through the

ventricles and fills the central canal

of the spinal cord.

3) the CSF reaches the subarachnoid space through two lateral apertures and a single median aperture in the

roof of the fourth ventricle.

4) CSF then flows through the subarachnoid space surrounding the brain, spinal cord, and cauda equina

5) CSF is absorbed into the venous

circulation at the arachnoid

granulation.

Front 10

Limbic system

Back 10

1) Establishing emotional states.

2) Linking the conscious, intellectual

functions of the cerebral cortex with the unconscious and autonomic

functions of the brain stem.

3) Facilitating memory storage and

retrieval.

- also know as tge motivation system.

Front 11

Prefrontal cortex

Back 11

Integrates information from sensory association areas and performs abstract intellectual functions, such as predicting the consequences of possible responses.

Front 12

Wernicke's area or general interpretive area

Back 12

-present in typically left hemisphere.

-receives information from all sensory association areas.

-damage to area affects ability to interpret what you see and hear, even though you understand the words as individual entities.

Front 13

Broca's area or motor speech area

Back 13

Regulates patterns of breathing and vocalization needed for normal speech.

Person with this damaged can make sounds but not words.
