these are the three areas that make up the endocrine system.
What are the thalamus, hypothalamus, and pituitary gland
100
This area is involved in mid to low-order mental activities.
What is the brainstem
100
This system is located in the areas of the cortex and the adjacent limbic lobe
What is limbic system
100
The lobe responsible for thinking, memory, behaviour, and movement
What is frontal lobe
100
Neurons and glial cells are two broad groups of these
What are brain cells
200
This is known as the "master hormone gland"
What is the pituitary gland
200
The brain uses 20% of this because of lack of storage
What is glucose
200
Involved in memory and emotional responses
What is the amygdala
200
Lobe responsible for language and touch
What is parietal lobe
200
Are self-contained functioning brain cells
What are neurons
300
Is the major relay station for nerve signals coming from all senses except smell
What is the thalamus
300
Information from the "body clock" passed to the brainstem over 24-hours
What is circadian rhythm
300
Is involved in memory and spatial awareness
What is the hippocampus
300
Lobe responsible for hearing, learning and feelings
What is temporal lobe
300
Regrowth of nerves that can be slow and at random.
What is nerve regeneration
400
Has many varied and vital roles, including conscious behavior, emotions and instincts, and automatic control of body systems.
What is the hypothalamus
400
Brain tissue lacks pain receptors
Why does the brain not experience pain?
400
This system is hard-wired into parts of the sensory system, especially the sense of smell.
What is the limbic system
400
Lobe responsible for sight
What is occipital lobe
400
Brain cells that influence neurons' electrical activity
What are glial cells
500
This is a hormone produced in the hypothalamus that helps with birth and breastfeeding.
What is Oxytocin
500
Injury to this part of the brain can lead to death.
What is the brainstem
500
Injuries to this part of the brain can result in a person feeling dizzy or falling.
What is the cerebellum
500
The name of the outer layer of the brain's most dominant part, the cerbrum
What is the cerebral cortex
500
Make myelin sheaths, which may be attacked or destroyed in individuals with MS (multiple sclerosis).
What is oligodendrocytes
