25
Computerized axial tomography (cat scan or ct scan ) shows
3d image of the brain structure
26
Ct scan doesn’t show
Brain function or activity
27
Ct scan uses
X-ray
28
MRI uses————-fields
Magnetic fields
29
MRI gives information about
Structure of the brain
30
PET scan stands for
Positron emission tomography
31
PET scan shows
Brain activity during certain tasks
32
Functional MRI shows
Brain structure and blood flow
33
Three major section of the brain
Forebrain hindbrain and midbrain
34
Hindbrain consists of
Pons medulla and cerebullum
35
Medulla function
Controls vital functions
36
Pons function
Facial expression
37
Cerebellum means
Little brain
38
Cerebellum function
Coordination of muscle movement
39
Midbrain location
Between forebrain and hindbrain
40
Midbrain contains
Reticular formation
41
Reticular formation controls
General body alertness
42
Damage to reticular formation causes
Deep coma
43
Thalamus receives———from the spinal cord and sends them to appropriate areas in the
Sensory The brain
44
Hypothalamus controls
``` Hormone(endocrine) Temperature Hunger Thirst Sexual arousal(libido) Metabolic functions Biological ryhtm ```
45
Amygdala is responsible for
Emotions
46
Memories are processed in
The amygdala
47
True or false | Memories are processed but not stored in the amygdala
True
48
Contra lateral control in the brain means
Each hemisphere gets sensory messages and controls motor functions of the opposite side
49
Corpus callosum connects
The two brain hemispheres
50
True or false | Cerebral cortex has eight lobes
True
51
Association areas in the cerebral cortex are
Areas if the cortex that are don’t receive sensory information or control muscle movement Example judgement and humor
52
Prefrontal cortex plays an important role in
Thought process judgment emotional control
53
Language areas in the brain are
Wernicke’s | Broca’s
54
Wernicke’s area is located in which brain lobe
Temporal lobe
55
Broca,s area is located in ———- and controls————-
The LEFT hemisphere | Muscles involved in speech
56
Motor cortex is in which brain lobe
Frontal
57
Parietal lobes of the brain contain
Sensory cortex
58
Occipital lobes contains
Visual cortex
59
Impulses from right half of each retina are processed in which brain cortex
Right occipital
60
Temporal lobes processes
Sound
61
Temporal lobe have which language area
Wernicke’s
62
Damage to Wernicke’s area In the temporal lobe affects our ability to
Understand language
63
Written and spoken speech are processed in
Wernicke’s area
64
Brain plasticity means
Parts of the brain can adapt to perform other functions if needed.
65
The endocrine system is controlled in the brain by which part of the brain
Hypothalamus
66
Adrenal glands produce
Adrenaline
67
True or false | Most human traits result from the combined effect of nature(genes) and nurture(environment)
True
68
Down syndrome are born with ——-and gave————
One extra chromosome | Mental retardation
