    A) pituitary gland
  • the cerebrum includes the frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital lobe
    • the corpus callosum separates right and left hemispheres
  • frontal lobe:
    • voluntary skeletal muscle movement (primary motor area), lateralization
    • broca's area for speech
    • personality, language comprehension, social cues, emotion
    • gustatory complex for taste
  • parietal lobe:
    • somatosensory area for pain, cold, light touch
  • temporal lobe:
    • emotions, long-term memory
    • hearing + hearing association
    • olfactory area for taste
  • occipital lobe:
    • visual cortex + association to memories
  • brainstem is made of the midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata
  • midbrain
    • pupil reflexes, vision and hearing, vitals
  • pons
    • breathing, sleep, face sensation or movement
  • medulla oblongata
    • autonomic functions, vitals, sleep, throat + nose + pharynx reflexes
  • the diencephalon is made of the thalamus, hypothalamus and pituitary gland, and epithalamus or pineal gland
  • thalamus
    • sensation, pain, info relay
  • hypothalamus
    • autonomic functions, hunger, metabolism, mood, sensory
    • body temp, thirst, appetite, sex, pain, pleasure
    • pituitary gland secretes hormones
  • epithalamus
    • pineal gland secretes melatonin for sleep
  • reticular division in the brainstem regulates consciousness and sleep/wake cycles
