brain anatomy

Question 1

frontal lobe

Answer 1

-at the front

thinking, memory, behaviour and movement

Question 2

parietal lobe

Answer 2

-between temp and occip

language and touch

Question 3

occipital lobe

Answer 3

-behind parietal

sight

Question 4

cerebellum

Answer 4

-bellow occipital but behind brain stem

balance and coordination

Question 5

temporal lobe

Answer 5

-middle of the brain

hearing, learning, feelings

Question 6

brain stem

Answer 6

breathing, heart rate and temp

Question 7

frontal lobe posterior

Answer 7

posterior portion- premotor and motor areas

• separated from parietal lobe by central sulcus
• primary motor area is located in the pre central gyrus in the frontal lobe- electrical stimulation in one area, causes contraction of specific skeletal muscle on the OPP SIDE of the body.

Question 8

frontal lobe anterior

Answer 8

anterior portion of prefrontal corte.

‘higher cognitive function’ (planning, conscious thought, voluntary motor activity, personality)

Question 9

more detail parietal love

Answer 9

• somatosensory context- pain, touch and taste
• wernickes area- mins parietal to temporal – comprehension of speech
• posterior parietal cortex- relates somatosensory and visual info to complex movement

Question 10

more detail temporal lobe

Answer 10

Right TL= stores visual memory
Left TL= verbal memory

storage of auditory and visual experiences

Question 11

more detail occipital lobe

Answer 11

-neurones encode diff visual info e.g. colour, orientation and motion.
-info passed to parietal and temporal loves for processing
-visual association centre
-relates present and past visual experience
recognises and evaluates what has been seen

VISION

Question 12

what is the basal ganglia and where is it found

Answer 12

clusters of nuclei on both side of the thalamus

• above limbic system
• within temporal lobe

Question 13

what makes up the brain stem

Answer 13

midbrain
pons
medulla oblongata

Question 14

midbrain

Answer 14

responses to sight, eye movement, pupil dilation, hearing and body movement

Question 15

medulla oblongata

Answer 15

controls autonomic function- has motor and sensory neurones

Question 16

pons

Answer 16

• transfers messages between the cerebrum and cerebellum

- control autonomic function and is involved with sleep

Question 17

diecephalon

Answer 17

central location

–> thalamus and hypothalamus

Question 18

diecephalon

Answer 18

central location
–> thalamus and hypothalamus
-

Question 19

hypothalamus

Answer 19

links nervous and endocrine system via pituitary gland

Question 20

thalamus

Answer 20

sensory/motor signal relay, consciousness and sleep regulation

Question 21

cerebelum

Answer 21

• maintains balance and posture
• voluntary movement
• accurate movement
• language

Question 22

types of neurones in the brain

Answer 22

cranial
spinal
interneurons

Question 23

cranial

Answer 23

periphery, info to and from spinal cord

Question 24

spinal

Answer 24

found in spinal cord, carries signal to brains stem

Question 25

interneurons

Answer 25

found in the spinal cord, connect sensory neurones to motor neurones

Question 26

in parasympathetic neurones postganglionic neurone vare always

Answer 26

cholinergic

Question 27

in sympathetic neurones preganglionic neurones are always……. and post ganglionic are generally….

Answer 27

cholinergic

adrenic- noradrenaline
