1. ANATOMY Unit 2 Notes: The Brain

3. (1) Frontal Lobe Speech Production (from Broca’s Area)
Concentration, Problem Solving, Planning
Voluntary Muscle Contractions
Broca = produces speech

5. (2) Parietal Lobe Interpretation of speech, sounds, surroundings
Pick up on skin sensations
Wernicke = speech interpretation

7. (3) Temporal Lobe Interpret sensations Visual & Auditory Memory
Basic Hearing function
Ability to learn + connect concepts
Includes:
Thalamus
Hypothalamus
Pituitary Gland
Corpus Callosum
Limbic System

9. (4) Stuff In Your Temporal
Thalamus = Sensory reception
Hypothalamus = Control Body Temperature, Maintain fluid + ion levels, Regulates Metabolism, Sleep
Limbic System = Emotions
Pituitary = Regulate hormone secretion
Corpus Callosum = Connective tissue between left and right hemispheres

10. (5) Occipital Lobe
Vision
Combines images to make complete picture

12. (6) Cerebellum Coordinates muscle movement
Maintains normal muscle tone
DOES NOT MAKE MUSCLES MOVE!
Makes them move smoothly!

14. (7) Brain Stem Passes info between spinal cord + brain Includes:
Midbrain
Pons
Medulla Oblongata

16. (8) Stuff in Brain Stem Midbrain:
Fight or Flight responses (based of past)
Helps with vision + auditory senses
Pons:
Respiratory Reflexes
General Breathing Rate
Medulla Oblongata:
Maintains Homeostasis
Heartbeat, Blood pressure, Digestive reflexes
Also assists pons in respiration
