Lobes of the Brain
The part of the brain responsible for functions like voluntary movement, and speech
The Frontal lobe
Chemical messengers that are released by cells to transmit signals to other cells
Neurotransmitters
involved in regulating breathing, sleep cycles, and sensory information
Pons
This organ is about 3 pounds and makes up about 2% of your body weight, but uses around 20% of your energy.
The Brain
This part of the brainstem controls basic survival functions like breathing and heart rate.
The medulla oblongata
the part of the brain that deals with sensory information, awareness, the reaction
Parietal lobe
A neuron that transmits signals to other neurons, muscles, or glands
Axon
Is vital and connects the cerebrum to the spinal cord and it controls essential bodily functions
The Brainstem
This part of your brain is sometimes called the “reptile brain” because it controls survival basics like breathing and heartbeat.
The Brainstem
Located above the medulla, this part of the brainstem helps regulate sleep, breathing, and sensory information.
The pones
the part of the brain that processes auditory information, language, and smell
Temporal lobe
The junction where a nerve cell transmits a signal to another cell
Synapse
The largest point of the human brain that is responsible for cognitive functions like memory, language, emotion, and movement
The Cerebrum
Even though it looks smooth in diagrams, your brain actually has lots of folds and wrinkles to increase this
surface area
This smallest part of the brainstem relays auditory and visual information to other areas of the brain.
Midbrain
the part of the brain that is primarily responsible for your vision, and the processing of visual information
Occipital lobe
A branched extension of a cell that receives signals. Found in the brain and spinal cord, where they are covered in synapses, the points of communication between nerve cells
Dendrites
is located in the back of the brain and is responsible for coordinating voluntary movements, like posture and balance, as well as speech.
The Cerebellum
True or False: Your brain feels pain.
False
Without the brainstem, the cerebrum and spinal cord wouldn’t be able to do this essential task.
Communicate/transfer signals
If Someone’s having difficulty making new memories which lobe is most likely affected?
Temporal lobe
Made of fatty substances and proteins that wrap around nerves in order to keep it protected
Myelin sheath
Controls involuntary functions like heart rate, breathing, and your blood pressure
Medulla Oblongata
This structure in your brain connects the left and right hemispheres so they can communicate—and without it, they’d act like siblings who refuse to talk.
The Corpus Callosum
The brainstem is often nicknamed this, since it controls automatic life-support systems.
The life-support machine
