Cerebrum |
Largest region of the brain. Controls personality, memory storage, intellect, reasoning, and the senses |
Cerebrum has thick folds (gyrus-singular gyri- plural) separated by indentations (sulcus- sing, sulci- plural) |
|
|
Corpus callosum |
Band of white matter that connects the two cerebral hemispheres so that they can communicate with one another. |
|
|
|
Lobes: frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital |
taste (parietal) Vision (occipital) Auditory, hearing (temporal) Olfactory, smell (temporal/frontal) |
Primary olfactory area at the base of frontal lobe and ventral/medial temporal lobe |
|
|
Cerebral cortex |
Thin, most superficial layer of the cerebrum that is highly folded and consist of gray matter |
White matter underneath cortex - opp from spinal cord |
|
|
Primary motor area, sensory, association |
Primemotor-Controls voluntary movement -posterior-most strip of the frontal lobe that stretches from ear to ear Primesense-processes stimuli for touch,pain, temp. anterior most strip of parietal ear to ear Association area-communicates with sensory + motor areas and with parts of brain to analyze and act on sensory input (integration) |
|
|
|
Thalamus |
-sits under cerebral hemisphere -all messages to cerebral cortex pass here first act as relay station- sorts incoming sensory info except smell and sends to appropriate region of cerebrum for processing |
Diencephalon |
|
|
Hypothalamus |
inferior to thalamus Essential to homeostasis influencing blood pressure,heart rate, breathing, hunger thirst, body temp. |
