(22 cards)
Frontal lobe
Decision making and problem solving
Parietal lobe
Sensation and reaction
Occipital lobe
Vision information
Temporal lobe
Language, memory, hearing, smell
Sensory area
In parietal lobe
Receive and interpret sensory info
Motor area
Frontal lobe
Send motor response to spinal cord or to muscles
Auditory area
Temporal
Process hearing and sound
Visual area
Occipital lobe
Process sight
Speech area
Frontal lobe
Processes hearing and sound
Longitudinal fissure
Separates left and right hemisphere
Lateral fissure
Separates temporal from frontal and parietal
Central sulcus
Separates frontal and parietal
Parietal occipital sulcus
Separates parietal from occipital
Thalamus
Sorts data
Hypothalamus
Regulates homeostasis, drive to eat
Corpus callosum
Integrates motor and sensory info and cognitive sensory info and cognitive performance between cerebral cortex to other side
Pituitary gland
Regulates endocrine activity by secreting hormones
Brain stem
Breathing, circulation, digestion
Midbrain
Relay motor responses from cerebrum to ponds, medulla or spinal cord, relay visual info
Pons
Link cerebral with midbrain, diencephalic cerebrum and spinal cord
Medulla oblongata
Connect neural impulses between cerebrum and spinal cord regulates autonomic activities; hear rate, breathing, ect.
Cerebrum
Integration of information
