2. E.5.2 Outline the functions of each of the parts of the brain
E.5.1 Label, on a diagram of the brain, the medulla oblongata, cerebellum, hypothalamus, pituitary gland and cerebral hemispheres.
E.5.2 Outline the functions of each of the parts of the brain
listed in E5.1.
Complex thought, memory,
problem solving
Sleep/wake pattern
Regulates pituitary secretions
Coordinates muscle
movement & balance
Homeostasis (master gland):
hormonal control
Controls unconscious
processes (breathing,
heart rate, blood pressure)
Carries nerve impulses
through the spine

3. E.5.3 Explain how animal experiments, lesions, and fMRI scanning can be used in the identification of the brain part involved in specific functions.
Mind Reading fMRI

4. The ______________________________ to the regions of
E.5.3 Explain how animal experiments, lesions, and fMRI scanning can be used in the identification of the brain part involved in specific functions.
The ______________________________ to the regions of
the brain is detected overlayed on the brain map.
We can then see which parts of the brain are showing
___________________ with a specific task.
In the example on the left, the
visual cortex “_______________”
when the subject follows a swirling
pattern with their eyes.
Mind Reading fMRI

5. Lesions are areas of _______________________________.
E.5.3 Explain how animal experiments, lesions and FMRI scanning can be used in the identification of the brain part involved in specific functions.
Lesions are areas of _______________________________.
If lesions occur in the brain (due to illness or injury), functions
will be impaired.
When things go wrong or damaged, we notice obvious
difference in _______________ or ______________. By
observing the difference from the norm, we can deduce the
normal function of the damaged area.

6. How do we know about the functions of the brain?
E.5.3 Explain how animal experiments, lesions and FMRI scanning can be used in the identification of the brain part involved in specific functions.
How do we know about the functions of the brain?
Animal experimentation, though controversial, has led to
many advances in science and medicine.
Studies involved:
____________________________ and comparison
with animal specimens
- ____________________________ to observe impaired
function
_________________________ of living
primates and dog brain in order to
observe movement and actions in
the body
