Neuroanatomy

Question 1

Frontal lobe function

Answer 1

“Higher function”: planning, consequences of action

Question 2

Where is the precentral gyrus located? function?

Answer 2

Frontal lobe

Signaling voluntary msk movements= primary motor cortex

Question 3

where is the post central gyrus located? function?

Answer 3

Parietal lobe

Primary somatosensory: perception of touch

Question 4

Parietal lobe function

Answer 4

Body sensation

spatial perception

Question 5

Temporal lobe function

Answer 5

1. Hearing- receives input from cochlear nerve.

2. Memory

Question 6

Occipital lobe function

Answer 6

Vision

Question 7

Define basal ganglia

Answer 7

Groups of nuclei that surround the thalamus

Question 8

Basal ganglia function

Answer 8

Motor control: regulate body movements by processing sensory and motor information coming from the cerebral cortex

Question 9

Thalamus function

Answer 9

Relay station between the cerebrum and the rest of the nervous system
Processes nearly all motor sensory input before it reaches the cortex

Question 10

Define corpus callosum

Answer 10

Connects the gray matter regions of two hemispheres of the cerebrum =allows communication between the two sides of the brain and enabling integrated function

Question 11

What makes up the limbic system? Function?

Answer 11

Hippocampus + Amygdala

=Memory, emotion, fear

Question 12

What makes up the basal ganglia?

Answer 12

1. Caudate Nucleus
2. Globus Pallidus
3. Putamen
