Thalamus - CORRECT ANSWER - the brain's sensory control center, located
on top of the brainstem; it directs messages to the sensory receiving areas in the
cortex and transmits replies to the cerebellum and medulla (RELAY STATION
BY OCCIPITAL LOBE)
brain - CORRECT ANSWER - gray matter on the outside, white matter on the
inside
Rostral - CORRECT ANSWER - towards the forehead
Caudal - CORRECT ANSWER - toward the tail or spinal cord
reticular formation - CORRECT ANSWER - a nerve network in the brainstem
that plays an important role in controlling arousal
reticular activating system - CORRECT ANSWER - Located in the upper
brain stem; responsible for maintenance of consciousness, specifically one's
level of arousal.
Cerebellum function - CORRECT ANSWER - the "little brain" at the rear of
the brainstem; functions include processing sensory input and coordinating
movement output and balance BALANCE
Hypothalamus function - CORRECT ANSWER - A neural structure lying
below the thalamus; it directs several maintenance activities (eating, drinking,
body temperature), helps govern the endocrine system via the pituitary gland,
and is linked to emotion and reward.
, 4 regions of hypothalamus - CORRECT ANSWER - mammillary, tuberal,
supraoptic, preoptic
frontal lobe - CORRECT ANSWER - The lobe at the front of the brain
associated with movement, speech, and impulsive behavior. (primary motor
lobe)
parietal lobe - CORRECT ANSWER - receives sensory input for touch and
body position (primary sensory area)
occipital lobe - CORRECT ANSWER - visual cortex
insula - CORRECT ANSWER - regions of cortex located at the junction of the
frontal and temporal lobes
spinal cord - CORRECT ANSWER - gray matter on the inside, white matter
on the outside
Dreams - CORRECT ANSWER - a sequence of images, emotions, and
thoughts passing through a sleeping person's mind (REM SLEEP)
Wernicke's area - CORRECT ANSWER - controls language reception - a
brain area involved in language comprehension and expression; usually in the
left temporal lobe. Transmits speech to Broca's Area
Broca's area - CORRECT ANSWER - Controls language expression - an area
of the frontal lobe, usually in the left hemisphere, that directs the muscle
movements involved in speech.
12 pair of cranial nerves - CORRECT ANSWER - Attach directly to the brain
and can be motor, sensory, or both
