Parts of Brain (2 of 2)
Lobes
Receptors
Pathways
100
Links cerebellum with mesencephalon, diencephalon, cerebrum & spinal cord.
Pons
100
Highly branched internal of cerebellum.

Arbor Vitae


100
This lobe deals with deals with auditory and olfactory reception as well as memory and abstract thought.
Temporal
100
This is the receptor for temperature

Thermoreceptors


100
Carries sensations of two-point discrimination; travels via posterior columns
Dorsal column/medial lemniscal system (KNOW THIS FOR TEST)
200

Which is not a function of the hypothalamus:

Day/Night Cycle

Temperature regulation

Consciousness Control

Autonomic Control

Consciousness control
200

Part of mesencephalon; produces dopamine;

Note: degeneration of this causes Parkinson's disease

Substantia Nigra
200
This lobe deals with visual information.

Occipital


200
This is the receptor for pain
Nociceptors 
200
Carries information to the thalamus via the spinal cord; conveys cutaneous sensory information
Spinothalamic pathway
300
Continuous with spinal cord; complex autonomic functions. 

Medulla Oblongata


300
Contains the pineal gland; regulates day/night cycle.
Epithalamus 
300
This lobe deals with voluntary motor function.

Frontal


300
This receptor monitors pressure via stretching of elastic tissue.
Baroreceptors 
300
This type of painful sensation affects people who no longer have a limb, but still feel pain where their limb should be.
Phantom Limb Pain
400

"Little Brain"; Balance control; susceptible to alcohol; fine motor control

Cerebellum


400
This 'area' of the brain is the general interpretive area.  comprehends and formulates speech.
Wernicke's area.
400
Evaluation of most sensory information at this lobe

Parietal


400
This receptor monitors position of boy parts.
Proprioceptors 
400
This pathway allows you to lift your entire leg.
Medial Pathway
500
"Midbrain"; sight, and sound reception; maintains consciousness.

Mesencephalon


500
This area of the brain receives the information from the Wernicke's area and sends impulses to premotor and motor areas.
Broca's area.
500
This is what separates motor section of brain and sensory section of brain (what landmark)
Central Sulcus
500
This type of receptor responds to changes in chemical composition.
chemoreceptors 
500
This is the pathway that allows you to turn your foot and look at the tack
Lateral Pathway
