Frontal lobe - correct answer ✔✔part of brain with higher order cognitive processes
cingulate gyrus - correct answer ✔✔part of brain with emotion, learning, memory
corpus collosum - correct answer ✔✔part of brain with interhemispheric communication
temporal lobe - correct answer ✔✔part of brain for auditory processing and language
parietal lobe - correct answer ✔✔part of brain for somatosensory and proprioception
occipital lobe - correct answer ✔✔part of brain for visual processing
cerebellum - correct answer ✔✔part of brain for motor coordination
hypothalamus - correct answer ✔✔part of brain for endocrine function
midbrain - correct answer ✔✔auditory/visual "relay" center
pons - correct answer ✔✔part of brain for breathing and relaying motor information
medulla - correct answer ✔✔part of brain monitoring breathing/heart rate/blood pressure
, thalamus - correct answer ✔✔part of brain for processing/relaying all (except olfactory) sensory
stimuli, motor information
spatial summation - correct answer ✔✔occurs when currents from nearly simultaneous graded
potentials combine
temporal summation - correct answer ✔✔when 2 graded potentials from one presynaptic
neuron occur close together in time
dorsal root - correct answer ✔✔specialized to carry incoming afferent sensory information
dorsal root ganglia - correct answer ✔✔contain cell bodies of sensory neurons
ventral root - correct answer ✔✔carries information from CNS to muscles and glads
dorsal horns - correct answer ✔✔location where sensory fibers from dorsal roots synapse with
interneurons
ventral horns - correct answer ✔✔contain cell bodies of motor neurons that carry efferent
signals to muscles and glands
gray matter - correct answer ✔✔consists of sensory and motor nuclei in spinal cord
white matter - correct answer ✔✔consists of tracts of axons carrying information to and from
the brain in spinal cord
adenylyl cyclase - correct answer ✔✔amplifier enzyme that converts ATP to cAMP
