• Gives emotional tone to memories
• Is involved in making moral judgments - ANSWER:Temporal lobe
• Vision
• Visual memory
• Reading
• language formation
• reception of vestibular, acoustic, and tactile stimuli - ANSWER:Occipital lobe
• 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 - ANSWER:Cerebrum
• 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 - ANSWER:Brainstem
(Medulla oblongata, pons, and midbrain)
• Produces norepinephrine
• Activity maintains arousal
, • Inactivity allows sleep - ANSWER:Locus ceruleus
• Produces serotonin
• Control sleep wake cycle - ANSWER:Dorsal raphe
• 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 - ANSWER:Reticular activating system (RAS)
• 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 - ANSWER:Reticular activating system (RAS)
• Bridges internal homeostasis and outside environment

• Regulates the autonomic nervous system and secretion of pituitary hormones
• Involved in hunger, thirst, water balance, regulation of temperature, circadian rhythms, and stress
response - ANSWER:Hypothalamus
• Gaits information to the neocortex
• Processes information coming from the 5 senses and information coming from the amygdala and
cerebellum before it goes to the neocortex
• Involved in wakefulness, sleep, and pain perception - ANSWER:Thalamus
• Anxiety and anger
• Generates rudimentary emotions such as fear, rage, religious ecstasy, and sexual desire
• Surveys the environment
• Regulates fear and response to stress
• Evaluates expression of friendliness, fear, love, affection, distrust, and anger
• Contributes to emotional memories, especially fear
