What dat lobe do?
This lobe is associated with speech, movement, language comprehension, and associations, to name a few.
The frontal lobe
Thalamus
An area or region of the brain (often defined or separated by sulci)
Lobes
This shallow furrow separates the frontal and parietal lobe
Central sulcus
This large, ridged, and wrinkly structure blankets the brain's surface, providing a large amount of surface area for thousands of neurons
Cerebral cortex
This lobe is responsible for smell and hearing.
The temporal lobe
Controls involuntary actions such as heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, swallowing, vomiting, etc.
Medulla oblongata
The deep fissure that separates the right and left hemispheres of the brain
Longitudinal fissure
This relatively deeper furrow separates the parietal and occipital lobes
Parietal-occipital sulcus
This rounded structure acts as a bridge for nerve fiber tracts, and houses nuclei responsible for control of breathing
Pons
This lobe houses the visual area of the brain.
The occipital lobe
This structure provides precise timing for skeletal muscle activity, and controls balance and equilibrium
Cerebellum
A shallow groove or furrow in the brain
Sulcus
This shallow furrow separates the temporal & occipital lobes from the parietal & frontal lobes
The lateral sulcus
This structure is key in regulating body temperature, water balance, and metabolism
Hypothalamus
Speech and language spans these two lobes
This structure has reflex centers involved in olfaction (sense of smell)
Mammillary bodies
A deep groove in the brain
Fissure
This elevated tissue occurs in the frontal lobe along the central sulcus.
Precentral gyrus
This structure houses the pons, medulla oblongata, and midbrain
The brainstem
The general interpretation area spans these three lobes
Parietal, temporal, and occipital.
This gland controls hormones that affect many of the body's organs and tissues
The pituitary gland
An elevated ridge in the brain
Gyrus
This elevated tissue occurs in the parietal lobe along the central sulcus
Postcentral gyrus
This part of the brainstem helps conduct nerve impulses involved with vital involuntary actions like breathing and blood pressure
Midbrain
