BRAIN PARTS & FUNCTIONS MENINGES = TOUGH OUTER PROTECTIVE COVERING OF THE BRAIN AND SPINAL CORD COMPOSED OF 3 MEMBRANE LAYERS: PIA MATTER (INSIDE MOST LAYER) ARACHNOID ( THIN COVERING BETWEEN PIA MATTER AND DURA MATTER) DURA MATER (OUTSIDE MOST)- TOUGH MEMBRANE, HOLDS BRAIN IN PLACE, LIMITS MOVEMENT INSULA= PART OF THE CEREBRUM AND USED AS AN ANATOMICAL MARKER- ENFOLD OF CEREBRUM BETWEEN THE PARIETAL AND TEMPORAL LOBES LINKED TO CRAVING- SEE LESSON 3 ACTIVITY 1 BLOOD BRAIN BARRIER= PROTECTIVE MECHANISM THAT MAKES MOVEMENT OF MOLECULES INTO FROM THE CAPILLARIES INTO THE BRAIN CELLS MORE DIFFICULT THAN EXCHANGES IN OTHER BODY ORGANS GIVES THE BRAIN GREATER PROTECTION FROM EXPOSURE TO SOME SUBSTANCES FOUND IN THE BLOOD

6. BRAIN PARTS & FUNCTIONS BRAINSTEM= CONTROLS VITAL AUTONOMIC FUNCTIONS PRIMARILY (BREATHING, HEART RATE, DIGESTION, VESSEL CONSTRICTION/DILATION, ETC.). CONSISTS OF MIDBRAIN, PONS AND MEDULLA. PARIETAL LOBE= RECEPTION OF SENSORY INFORMATION OF THE BODY FRONTAL LOBE= DECISION MAKING, PROBLEM SOLVING & PLANNING TEMPORAL LOBE= MEMORY, LANGUAGE, HEARING AND EMOTION OCCIPITAL LOBE= VISION PRIMARILY BROCA’S AREA= SPEECH PRODUCTION AND ARTICULATION WERNICKE’S AREA= LANGUAGE COMPREHENSION
