CNS & PNS Flashcards
(30 cards)
four major divisions of the brain
cerebrum, diencephalon, cerebellum, brain stem
part of brain responsible for conciousness
cerebrum
function of basal nuclei
regulate body movement & facial expressions
function of basal ganglia
regulate body movement & facial expressions

folded elevations along the surface of the cerebrum
sulci
grooves between the folds on the surface of the cerebrum

fissures
structure that divides frontal & parietal lobes of cerebrum
central sulcus
structure that divides frontal & parietal lobes from temporal lobes of cerebrum
lateral cerebral sulcus
structure that divides parietal & occipital lobes of cerebrum
parieto-occipital sulcus
function of frontal lobes
concentration, planning, problem solving, movement of voluntary skeletal muscle
function of parietal lobes
touch sensations, speech, comprehension
function of temporal lobes
hearing and smell sensations, memory
function of occipital lobes
vision, compound sensory associations
Which lobes of the cerebrum are responsible for concentration, planning, problem solving, movement of voluntary skeletal muscle?
frontal lobes
Which lobes of the cerebrum are responsible for touch sensations, speech, comprehension?
parietal lobes
