The medulla oblongata, located near the base of the brainstem, controls involuntary functions such as breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, and digestion.
The cerebellum, located at the back of the skull, coordinates voluntary movements and maintains posture and balance.
The cerebral cortex is the outer layer of gray matter that covers most of the brain's surface.
The pons is responsible for relaying information between different parts of the brain and controlling sleep-wake cycles.
The cerebellum coordinates movement and maintains balance and posture.
It transmits signals between the brain and other parts of the body, allowing for movement, sensation, and reflexes.
The spinal cord is a long bundle of nerve fibers that extends from the brain to the lower back.
The spinal cord transmits sensory input from the body to the brain and motor output from the brain to the muscles.
The spinal cord also contains sensory neurons that transmit information about touch, temperature, pain, and pressure to the brain.
The frontal lobe is responsible for executive function, decision-making, planning, and personality expression.
The parietal lobe processes sensory information from touch, temperature, pain, and body position.
The temporal lobe interprets auditory input and plays a role in memory formation.
The hippocampus plays a role in memory formation and learning.
The spinal cord extends from the bottom of the brain to the lower back and contains nerve fibers that transmit messages throughout the body.
The spinal cord connects the brain with nerves in the rest of the body, allowing for communication between them.
The medulla oblongata controls vital functions such as breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, and digestion.
The spinal cord also plays a role in regulating bodily functions like temperature control and blood pressure.
The medulla oblongata controls vital functions such as breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, and swallowing.
The thalamus acts as a relay station for sensory input and helps regulate consciousness and alertness.
Motor neurons in the spinal cord control muscle movements throughout the body.
Interneurons within the spinal cord process and integrate incoming sensory information with outgoing motor commands.
The parietal lobe processes sensations such as touch, taste, and temperature.
The temporal lobe is involved in hearing, memory, and language processing.
The temporal lobe is involved in hearing, memory, language comprehension, and emotion processing.
The occipital lobe receives visual information and interprets it into images.
The occipital lobe receives visual information and processes it into meaningful images.
The cerebellum coordinates muscle movements and maintains balance and posture.
The occipital lobe receives visual information and is involved in vision processing.
The cerebellum coordinates movement and balance.
The occipital lobe receives visual input and processes it into meaningful images.
The cerebellum coordinates voluntary movements and maintains balance and posture.
The spinal cord has two main functions: transmitting signals up or down the spine and relaying reflexes without involving the brain.
The pons connects the cerebrum with other parts of the brainstem and helps regulate sleep cycles.
The cerebellum is responsible for coordinating movement and maintaining balance.
The pons is involved in relaying signals between different parts of the brain and controlling sleep-wake cycles.
Reflexes are automatic responses triggered by specific stimuli, such as pulling your hand away from a hot stove.
Reflex arcs are neural circuits that allow for rapid responses to stimuli without involving higher cognitive processes.
