(49 cards)
wzgórze
thalamus- relays sensory information
podwzgóze
hypothalamus - mainains the body in balanced condition, controls body temperature, hunger, thirst, fatigue, sleep, anger
opuszka węchowa
olfactory bulbs - responsible for the sense of smell
móżdżek
cerebellum - coordinates body’s movement, posture, balance
śródmózgowie
midbrain - responsible for regulation of vision and hearing
most (część pnia mózgu)
pons - regulates sleep-wake cycles
rdzeń przedłużony
medulla oblongata - regulates basic body functions, including heart rate, blood pressure and respiration
części pnia mózgu
midbrain, pons, medulla oblongata
szyszynka
pineal gland - control the circadian cycle of sleep and wakefulness by secreting melatonin
półkula
(left/right) cerebral hemisphere
ciało modzelowate/spoidło wielkie
corpus callosum - connects the two cerebral hemispeheres
ciało migdałowate
amygdala - agression and fear (armagedon, final battle, battle - agression and fear); overall emotions
obszar asocjacyjny kory mózgowej
frontal association areas - impulse control (student losing patience, crowding to the front of the line, he lost impulse control)
lewa półkula
left hemisphere - handles language
prawa półkula
right hemisphere - controls creativity, spatial ability, artistic, and musical skills
hipokamp
hippocampus - memories
płat skroniowy
temporal lobe - hearing
płat ciemieniowy
parietal lobe - sense of touch (parents is touching baby)
obszar Broki
Broca’s area - directs muscles for speech production (breaking a doll, it won’t talk)
kora mózgu
cerebral cortex - judgment (cereal court, judge, cereal)
płat czołowy
frontal lobe - voluntary movement, expressive language and for managing higher level executive functions
płat potyliczny
occipital lobe - visuospatial processing, distance and depth perception, color determination, object and face recognition, and memory formation
komórki w mózgu
glial cells (komórki glejowe) - supporting cells, ptovide neurons with nutrients, protection, physical support
nerve cells/neurons (komórki nerwowe) - most important cells, connected by synapses to thousand of other neurons forming neural network, neurons transmit information to the rest of body through lectrical and chemical signals and relate information back to specific areas of the brain ad process it into an appropriate response
synapsa
synapse - connects sensory organs, like those that detect pain or touch, in the peripheral nervous system to the brain. Synapses connect neurons in the brain to neurons in the rest of the body and from those neurons to the muscles
