Major Regions Of The Brain Rp

Front 1

Cerebrum

Back 1

-conscious thought proccesses

-intellectual function

-memory storage and processing

-conscious and subconscious regulation of skeletal muscle contraction

Front 2

Deincephalon

Back 2

Thalamus - relays and processing centers for sensory information

Hypothalamus - centers controlling emotions, autonomic function and hormone production

Front 3

Midbrain (mesencephalon)

Back 3

- maintenance of consciousness

- processing of auditory and visual data

-generation of reflexive somatic motor responses

Front 4

Pons

Back 4

-relays sensory information to the cerebellum and thalamus

-subconcious somatic and visceral motor centers

Front 5

Medulla oblongata

Back 5

-relays sensory information to thalamus and other portions of the brain stem

-autonomic centers for regulation of visceral function

Front 6

Cerebellum

Back 6

-coordinates complex somatic motor patters

-adjust output of other somatic motor centers in the brain and spinal cord
