Question 10

thalamus-forebrain

Answer 10

relays sensory info except for smell to the brain

Question 11

cerebrum-forebrain

Answer 11

responsible for high cognitive functioning, emotions, personality

Question 12

cerebral cortex

Answer 12

divided into 4 regions each associated with different structures and functions

Question 13

frontal lobe cerebral cortex

Answer 13

largest lobe
contains primary motor cortex-controls movement, voluntary movements
if damaged it leads to poor attention/coordination
and AA is planning/personality

Question 14

symbolic thinking is part of

Answer 14

frontal lobe

Question 15

motor function is part of

Answer 15

frontal lobe

Question 16

brocas area cc-Fl

Answer 16

left frontal lobe
coordinates the movement fo muscles required for the production of speech

Question 17

parietal lobe

Answer 17

SENSORYYY

includes the primary somatosensory cortex
AA-sense of touch, motion,spatial reasoning
if damage occurs to primary area it results in an unable to feel things
association area damage is hard to recognize objects

Question 18

Primary somatosensory cortex cc-PL

Answer 18

controls and recieves sensory info from the skin eg temp and pain

Question 19

Occipital lobe

Answer 19

primary visual cortex
AA-transform visual information into objects
damage is visual impairement

Question 20

Primary visual cortex cc-OL

Answer 20

specialises in the process of visual information

Question 21

Temporal lobe

Answer 21

contains the primary auditory cortex
AA is receives, process, stores memories.
damage is deafness

Question 22

Primary auditory cortex cc-tl

Answer 22

receives and processes sounds from ears and different sounds frequency

Question 23

wernikes area cc-tl

Answer 23

enables speech comprehension
words are not able to be understood until they are process by wernickes area-cant understand when someone talks

Question 24

central nervous system

Answer 24

receives and processes sensory information
initiates responds actions
includes spinal cord and brain

Question 25

peripheral nervous system

Answer 25

includes all other nerves that extend from the spinal cord and brain communication between the cns and the rest of the body

Question 26

autonomic nervous system

Answer 26

carriers out the basic bodily functions necessary for survival such as heartbeat and digestion

Question 27

parasympathetic nervous system

Answer 27

maintains day to day functions counterbalances activity of the SYMP ns

Question 28

sympathetic nervous system

Answer 28

activates non-skeletal muscles, organs and glands to prepare the body for vigorous activity or deal with something stressful fight or flight

Question 29

somatic nervous system

Answer 29

two functions include sensory function-transmit sensory info from sensory receptors in the body motor functions-motor information from CNS to skeletal muscles

Question 30

types of neuron

Answer 30

sensory interneurons motor neurons

Question 31

path a sensory and motor neuron take

Answer 31

one direction away from the soma

Question 32

parts of a neuron-what is a neuron

Answer 32

transmit neural information between neurons

Question 33

what is long term potentioation

Answer 33

the long-lasting strengthening of the neural connection due to repeated stimulation- makes the signal stronger

Question 34

long term depression

Answer 34

long-lasting weakening of neural connection due to lack of stimulation
