antianxiety medication increases _____?at the receptor sites.
Endorphins - ANSWER- involved in pain relief and feelings of pleasure and contentedness?
Frontal Lobe - ANSWER- • Executive functioning and personality
• Maintain and focus attention
• Organize thinking, planning, speech, and motor activities
,• Weigh consequences
• Set goals
• Modulate emotions
• Integrate ideas, emotions, and perceptions
• Shapes personality?
Parietal lobe - ANSWER- • Body sensations
• Motor activities, attention and perception of spatial relations
• Processes sensory impulses from the thalamus
• Maintains focused attention
• Registers acts of aggression
• Wernicke's area located in the left temporoparietal junction is responsible for the
comprehension of speech??
Temporal lobe - ANSWER- • Emotion and memory circuits
• Hearing, learning, memory circuits, sexual identity, and processing of auditory stimuli
• Gives emotional tone to memories
• Is involved in making moral judgments
Occipital lobe - ANSWER- • Vision
• Visual memory
• Reading
• language formation
• reception of vestibular, acoustic, and tactile stimuli
Cerebrum - ANSWER- • Functions as an auxiliary structure for the entire cerebral cortex
• Posture and balance in walking
• Sequential movements required in eating and writing
• Control speed and acceleration of movement
• Involved in smooth eye movement
, • Cognition and language
• Memory and impulse control
Brainstem (Medulla oblongata, pons, and midbrain) - ANSWER- • Medulla oblongata-
regulation of blood pressure, respiration, and digestion. Reflex center for vomiting coughing,
sneezing, swallowing, and hiccupping.
• Pons- Relays information from the cerebral hemisphere to the cerebellum
• Midbrain- control many sensory and motor functions including eye movement
Locus ceruleus - ANSWER- • Produces norepinephrine
• Activity maintains arousal
• Inactivity allows sleep
Dorsal raphe - ANSWER- • Produces serotonin
• Control sleep wake cycle
Reticular activating system (RAS) - ANSWER- • Involved in arousal and sleep- the "toggle
switch"
• Switches the cerebral cortex on when individual is relaxed
• Switches limbic system on when there is a threat
• Regulates thalamus and cortex activities that are involved in emotions
• Involved in processing pain and in regulation of heartrate, breathing, perspiration, swallowing,
coughing, salivation, urination, and sexual arousal
Reticular activating system (RAS) - ANSWER- • Involved in arousal and sleep- the "toggle
switch"
• Switches the cerebral cortex on when individual is relaxed
• Switches limbic system on when there is a threat
• Regulates thalamus and cortex activities that are involved in emotions
• Involved in processing pain and in regulation of heartrate, breathing, perspiration, swallowing,
coughing, salivation, urination, and sexual arousal
Hypothalamus - ANSWER- • Bridges internal homeostasis and outside environment
