|
ventricles
|
|
_________ regulates blood pressure, heart rate, respiration, coughing and swallowing. This is part of the brain stem.
|
Medulla
|
|

|
Midbrain
|
|
_________ coordinates voluntary movement, (conscious movement without thinking) also regulates muscle tone and equilibrium.
|
cerebellum
|
|
_________ is posterior to pons & medulla.

cerebellum
|
|
__________________ produces ADH and oxytocin.(hormones) Stimulates visceral responses to emotional situtions; increased heart rate and blushing. Regulates the Circadian rhythms-our internal clock.
|
hypotholamus
|
|
____________ regulates body temperature and eating (hungry sensation), controls functions of ANS, controlling activity of heart, blood vessels and intestines.
|
hypotholamus
|
|
___________ integrates sensations, puts them together, can interpret it very quickly.
|
Thalamus
|
|
_______ is superior to the hypothalamus and allows for concentration by blocking out unimportant sensations.
|
Thalamus
|
|
What connects the cerebral hemispheres? which has 200 millions neurons that connect the 2 hemispheres, this allows each hemisphere to know what the other is doing.
|
corpus callosum
|
|
Surface of the _________ is gray matter called cerebral ______. It is responsible for thinking, reading and memory.
|
cerebrum
cortex |

cerebral cortex
|
|
Cerebrum is divided into fourlobes, name them.
|
Frontal
Parietal Temporal Occipital |
|
___________ lobes: feel and interpret the cutaneous senses. Also, sense of taste
|
Parietal
|
|
_________ lobes: initiate voluntary movement (muscles) and motor speech area (left lobe only/Broca's speech-muscle)
|
Fontal
|
|
_________ lobes: auditory areas, olfactory areas, speech and some thought required for speech.
|
Temporal
|
|
__________ lobes: visual areas, see and interpret what is seen. Deals with Spatial relationship, seeing deepth and distance.
|
Occipital
|
|
____________ is damage to speech area resulting in an inablity to use language. If broca's area is damaged, the person can't understand written and spoken words.
|
Aphasia
|
|
_____________ areas of the cerebrum give us a sense of humor, personality, reason, logic, learning and memory. Do NOT control movement or senses.
|
Association areas
|
|
Paired masses of _______ ________ within the white matter of the cerebral hemispheres. Subconscious control of voluntary movement; muscle tone, swinging arms, moving hands while speaking.
|
Basal Ganglia
