What are the two parts of the Peripheral Nervous System?
- CORRECT ANSWER - somatic nervous system
- autonomic nervous system.
cerebral cortex
- CORRECT ANSWER making new memories
Hippocampus
- CORRECT ANSWER a neural center located in the limbic system; helps process
explicit memories for storage (memory)
corpus callosum
- CORRECT ANSWER A thick band of axons that connects the two cerebral
hemispheres and acts as a communication link between them.
corpus callosum
- CORRECT ANSWER the large band of neural fibers connecting the two brain
hemispheres and carrying messages between them
sensory neurons
- CORRECT ANSWER carry impulses from the sense organs to the spinal cord and
brain
sensory cortex
- CORRECT ANSWER registers and processes body touch and movement sensations
Thalamus
- CORRECT ANSWER it directs messages to the sensory receiving areas in the cortex
and transmits replies to the cerebellum and medulla
primary auditory cortex
- CORRECT ANSWER hearing
temporal lobe function
- CORRECT ANSWER hearing and speech
parietal lobe
- CORRECT ANSWER receives sensory input for touch and body position
frontal lobe
, - CORRECT ANSWER associated with reasoning, planning, parts of speech,
movement, emotions, and problem solving
corpus callosum
- CORRECT ANSWER A thick band of axons that connects the two cerebral
hemispheres and acts as a communication link between them.
brain stem
- CORRECT ANSWER Connection to spinal cord. Filters information flow between
peripheral nervous system and the rest of the brain.
motor cortex
- CORRECT ANSWER controls voluntary movements
Amygdala
- CORRECT ANSWER A limbic system structure involved in memory and emotion,
particularly fear and aggression.
Hypothalamus
- CORRECT ANSWER a neural structure lying below the thalamus; directs eating,
drinking, body temperature; helps govern the endocrine system via the pituitary gland,
and is linked to emotion
medulla oblongata
- CORRECT ANSWER the continuation of the spinal cord within the skull, forming the
lowest part of the brainstem and containing control centers for the heart and lungs.
occipital lobe
- CORRECT ANSWER vision
primary visual cortex
- CORRECT ANSWER the region of the posterior occipital lobe whose primary input is
from the visual system
Amygalda
- CORRECT ANSWER emotion
Consiousness
- CORRECT ANSWER our awareness of ourselves and our environment
myelin sheath
- CORRECT ANSWER covers the axon of some neurons and helps speed neural
impulses
