Plays an essential role in processing sensory information from the eyes
What is the Occipital Lobe? Dr. Mary Helen Spear 9/22/2018 What is the Occipital Lobe?
Contains the somatosensory area
What is the Parietal Lobe?
Part of the brain involved in planning, organization, decision making and voluntary movement
What is the Frontal Lobe?
Involved in hearing and language
What are the Temporal Lobes?
receive sensations of touch, body position, hearing
WHAT DO THE PARIETAL LOBES DO?
The complex mass of neural and other cells, incased in the skull
WHAT IS THE BRAIN?
Chemical substances, produced by the endocrine glands, that influence growth and internal organs
WHAT ARE HOROMONES?
Neurons in the central nervous system that connect other neurons
WHAT ARE INTERNEURONS?
If you remove this part of the brain, you will not be able to find food or mate.
WHATIS THE LIMBIC SYSTEM?
The mis-shapen man used to symbolize the body parts in the brain
WHAT IS A HUMUNCULOUS?
Brain and spinal cord
WHAT MAKES UP THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM?
nervous system outside central nervous system
WHAT IS THE PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYTEM?
Part of the peripheral nervous system that regulates the internal organs. Such as your heartbeats – we do not consciously control it.
WHAT IS THE AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM?
The part of the autonomic nervous system that sends messages to internal organs and glands that help us to respond to stressful and emergency situations.
WHAT IS THE SYMPATHETIC DIVISION?
The part of the autonomic nervous system that monitors the routine operations of the internal organs and returns the body to calmer functioning after arousal.
WHAT IS THE PARASYMPATHETIC DIVISION?
A branched fiber that extends outward from the main cell body and carries information into the neuron – it receives input
WHAT IS A DENDRITE?
The part of the neuron that is also called the cell body
WHAT IS THE SOMA?
An extended fiber in a neuron that conducts information from the cell body to the terminal buttons.
WHAT IS AN AXON?
The microscopic gap that serves as a communications link between neurons
WHAT IS A SYNAPSE?
Chemical messengers that relay neural messages across the synapse.
WHAT ARE NEUROTRANSMITTERS?
A component of the limbic system, involved in establishing long term memories
WHAT IS THE HIPPOCAMPUS?
A limbic system structure involved in memory and emotion, particularly in aggression
WHAT IS THE AMYGDALA?
The “little brain” attached to the brain stem. It is responsible for coordinated movements
WHAT IS THE CEREBELLUM?
The band of nerve fibers that connects the two cerebral hemispheres
WHAT IS THE CORPUS CALLOSUM?
The brain-stem structure that controls breathing and heart rate
WHAT IS THE MEDULLA?
