|
brain |
main processor |
|
|
cranial nerves |
-receive info -send it back to brain (SE) -brain sends back (MO) info |
|
|
cerebrum (cerebral cortex) |
-divided into L and R by longitudinal fissure -divided from cerebellum by transverse fissure -has ridges (gyri) and grooves (sulci) = convolutions |
|
|
frontal lobes |
-controls voluntary MO function and judgement -speech MO |
|
|
parietal lobes |
-body sense perception -receive body SE info -taste, speech (idea) |
|
|
occipital lobes |
-vision |
|
|
temporal lobes |
-hearing and taste -integration of emotions -written language |
|
|
insula |
fifth lobe |
|
|
cerebellum |
-coordination, balance and muscle tone -"little brain" -divided into hemisphere by vermis |
|
|
brain stem |
-mid brain -pons -medulla oblongata |

|
|
pons |
-relays SE and MO info -breathing |
|
|
medulla oblongata |
-controls cardiac, respiratory center
-continuous with spinal cord -regulates vital function (heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, reflex around the throat) |
|
|
thalamus |
-bundle and relay SE info -release info to cerebral cortex (parietal lobes) |
|
|
hypothalamus |
-regulates temperature, appetite and emotion -regulates hormones |
|
|
longitudinal fissure |
-divide L and R hemisphere |
|
|
transverse fissure |
