Lobotomy
This lobe processes what you see.
What is the Occipital Lobe?
The part of a Neuron that receives messages.
What is a dendrite.
Lighter colored brain matter that allows quick messages such as reflexes.
What is White Matter?
These are the 3 parts of the brain stem.
Special senses include Sight, Hearing, Smell, and this.
What is taste?
When you're touched, this lobe goes off.
What is the Parietal Lobe?
Part of the neuron a message travels down.
What is an axon.
Called the little brain. Helps with posture and balance.
What is the cerebellulm?
The primary function of the brain stem.
What is to Maintain Homeostasis.
While rods are used for sensing light, these are for sensing red, blue, and green.
What are cones?
Listening to your friend's awful story activates this lobe.
What is the Temporal Lobe?
Gap between two Neurons when messages are exchanged.
What is a synapse.
Darker colored matter that allows for Deep Thinking and processing
What is Gray Matter
Function of the Midbrain.
What is processing reflexes, hearing, vision, pain, sleep, arousal, monitor surroundings.
Part of the eye where light is absorbed and taken by the optic nerve.
What is the Retina?
If you can't solve a math problem, this lobe is failing you.
What is the Frontal Lobe
Type of Neurons include Motor, Sensory, and this.
What are Interneurons?
The very outside layer of the brain.
What is the Cortex?
Function of the Pons
What is breathing, facial movements, help with balance and hearing.
This part of the eye can change shape to allow an image to focus.
What is the lens?
All of your memories are stored under this lobe.
What is the Temporal Lobe
The chemical messages that travel between neurons.
What are Neurotransmitters?
Found in the center of the brain. Controls homeostasis like thirst and hunger.
What is the Hypothalamus?
Functions of Medula
What is Heart Rate, Blood Pressure, Autonomic activities.
Photoreceptors absorb light. These absorb sensations such of smell and taste.
What are Chemoreceptors?
