Brain

• The brain can be divided into a number of areas or section

  Brainstem

  Diencephalon

  Cerebrum

  Cerebellum
• Fill up

  A) cerebrum

  B) diencephalon

  C) brainstem

  D) cerebellum

  
• Region of the brain through which all sensory and motor pathways pass and which contains vital control centers

  Brainstem
• What passes through brainstem structure

  All sensory and motor pathways (axons)
• What two major physiological systems are controlled here

  Cardiovascular and respiratory system
• What enters and exits via cranial nerves

  Sensory input and motor control for head/neck and eye movement
• What are teh cardiovascular control centers found in brainstem

  cardioinhibitory center

  Cardioacceleratory center

  Vasomotor center
• What are the respiratory control centers found in brainstem

  Inspiratory center

  expiratory center

  apneustic center

  pneumotaxic center
• fill up

  A) cranial nerves

  B) brainstem

  C) spinal cord

  D) cerebellum

  
• Brain region containing the thalamus and hypothalamus

  Diencephalon
• Major relay center that processes sensory input to the brain

  Thalamus
• What is Thalamus primary role

  Relay center for spinal cord pathway
• What type of neural information does thalamus receive

  input from other brain areas
• Brain region tha tregulates basic physiological function

  Hypothalamus
• What are the three key function hypothalamus control

  Thirst

  Temperature

  Hormone level
• Region at the back of the brain that coordinates movement and balance

  Cerebellum
• Where is cerebellum located

  Back of the brain adjacent to the brainstem
• 3 main souce of input and their function for cerebellum

  Spinal cord - influences limb movement

  Other brain areas - movement planning

  Inner ear - controls balance and eye movement
• The largest part of the brain, divided into right and left hemispheres

  Cerebrum
• How is cerebrum divided

  Into right and left hemispheres
• What connects cerebrum's two hemisphere

  Corpus callosum
• What are the two key functional regions within cerebrum

  Basal ganglia and cerebral cortex
• Both hemisphere perform what two general functions

  Analyze cerebral cortex and control movement
• The neural bridge connecting the brain's right and left hemisphere

  Corpus callosum
• Primary function of corpus callosum

  Linking the two cerebral hemispheres
• What two visual processing tasks does right hemisphere specialise in

  Analysis of complex visual pattern

  Processing 3D images of objects
• What 2 language related fuction does left hemisphere handle

  Language processing

  Comprehension of words
• Several deep brain areas within the cerebrum involved in movement control

  Basal Ganglia
• Main function of the basal ganglia

  Planning and initiating movement
• The highly folded surface layer of the cerebrum

  Cerebral cortex
• Why is the cortex folded

  To increase surface area
• What are the four main regions of cerebral cortex

  Frontal cortex

  Temporal cortex

  Parietal cortex

  Occipital cortex
• fill. up

  A) Thalamus

  B) Basal ganglia

  C) hypothalamus

  
• The anterior portion of the cerebral cortex

  Frontal lobe
• The lateral portion of the cerebral cortex

  Temporal lobe
• The superior portion of the cerebral cortex

  Parietal lobe
• The posterior portion of the cerebral cortex

  Occipital lobe
• fill up

  A) parietal lobe

  B) frontal lobe

  C) temporal lobe

  D) occipital lobe

  
• fill up

  A) somatosensory cortex

  B) primary motor cortex

  C) broca speech area

  D) primary auditory area

  E) primary visual cortex

  
• Sensory input from skin, muscle and joints is identified and localised by the somatosensory cortex. It is the final destination of the sensory spinal cord pathway
