Lobes
The name of the lobe that is responsible for planning, initiation, and cognitive function.
What is the frontal lobe?
This system includes the brain and spinal cord.
What is the central nervous system?
This houses cranial nerves and their nuclei.
What is the brain stem?
This helps in learning and perceiving new speech sounds? (Hint: It Ends in Gyrus).
What is Heschl's Gyrus?
In the peripheral nervous system, there are how many pairs of cranial nerves and how many pairs of spinal nerves?
What is 12 pairs of cranial nerves and 31 spinal nerves?
These are the 3 major areas of the brain stem.
What is the medulla, pons, and mid brain?
This lobe is primarily responsible for vision and, if damaged, could leave a person blind.
What is the occipital lobe.
These sensory neurons carry nerve impulses from sensory stimuli towards the CNS and brain.
What are afferent neurons?
In decussation, if a person has a stroke in the left hemisphere of their brain, it will affect what side of their body?
What is the right side of the body?
This is the primary reception site for body sense.
What is the parietal lobe?
All CNS components are housed within bone, whereas most of the PNS components are house where?

This major part of the brain stem controls autonomic functions such as breathing, digestion, and swallowing.
(Hint: It is two words and the first word starts with M and the second one starts with O).
What is the Medulla Oblongata?
This site is involved in primary auditory perception and is important for auditory and language processing.
What is the temporal lobe?
These motor neurons carry neural impulses away from the CNS and towards muscles to cause movement.
What are efferent neurons?
This major part of the brain stem is located above the medulla and below the mid brain.
What is pons?
