lobesssss
functions of the frontal lobe
voluntary movement
cognitive functions (problem solving, reasoning)
personality, emotions an impulse control
whats the function of the epithalamus
contains pineal gland, which helps regulate sleep
plays role in circadian rhythm
what are the functions of the midbrain
serves as a relay center for visual and auditory information
controls eye movement
involved in reflexes
functions of the cerebellum?
coordinates fine control over skeletal muscles
stores "muscle memory"
CN III name and function
oculomotor
Eye movement, pupil constriction, and eyelid movement
functions of parietal lobe
general sensory input (touch, temp, pain)
spacial awareness and perception (sense of body position)
what are the functions of the hypothalamus
regulates homeostasis (thirst, hunger, body temp)
controls the autonomic system (heart rate, digestion, blood pressure)
controls endocrine system (hormone regulation)
what are the functions of the medulla oblongata
controls autonomic functions: heart rate, blood pressure, breathing regulation, digestion.
plays a role in reflexes (sneezing and gagging)
decussation of the pyramids
function of the limbic system
emotion regulation
memory formation and retrieval
motivation
regulation of autonomic system
involved in fight-or-flight
CN IV name and function
Trochlear nerve
Moves the superior oblique muscle of the eye (helps with downward and inward movement)
functions of temporal lobe
hearing and auditory processing
smell
memory formation
emotion regulation (amygdala)
language comprehension
whatre the functions of the thalamus
processes sensory information
acts as a final relay center for sensory and motor functions
acts as an information filter
whatre the functions of the pons
acts as a "bridge" for the cerebrum and cerebellum
works w medulla oblongata to regulate breathing rhythm
plays a role in sleeping and dreaming
main structures of the limbic system
amygdala (emotions: fear & aggression)
hippocampus (memory and learning)
cingulate gyrus (emotions & regulating behavior)
thalamus (relays sensory info for emotional processing)
hypothalamus (hormone control)
Trigeminal nerve
Sensory: Touch, pain, and temperature sensation from the face, scalp, and oral structures.
Motor: Controls chewing muscles (mastication)
functions of the occipital lobe
visual processing and interpretation
storing visual memories
the pineal gland secretes this hormone
melatonin
whatre the main structures in the midbrain
tectum
cerebral peduncles
tegmentum
substania nigra
cerebral aquaduct
CN I name and function
Olfactory
Smell
CN VI name and function
Abducens nerve
Moves the lateral rectus muscle, which abducts the eye (moves it laterally).
whats the function of the insula
interpretation of taste
regulation of homeostasis
what two components make up the epithalamus
pineal gland
habenular nuclei
whatre the main structures of the medulla oblongata
pyramids
olives
cardiovascular centers
medullary respiratory center
CN II name and function
vision
CN VII name and function
Facial nerve
Sensory: Taste
Motor: Controls facial expressions
Autonomic: Stimulates salivary glands (except parotid) and lacrimal glands (tears)
