Lobes
The cerebrum is broken into this many lobes
Four
The cerebrum is broken into two similar looking parts called
Hemispheres
One way in which the spinal cord processes information
Reflex Arc
each of the series of small bones forming the backbone
Vertebrae
This part of the brain helps to keep you balanced
cerebellum
The lobe responsible for emotions, speech, and language
Frontal Lobe
This side of your brain is more active when you are doing math
Left hemisphere
an involuntary, or automatic, action that your body does in response to something — without you even having to think about it
Reflex
The vertebrae in the neck are called _____________ vertebrae, and are labeled C1-C8
Cervical
Increases the speed with which signals can travel
This lobe processes smell, memory, tone, and loudness
Temporal Lobe
this side of your brain is more active when you are looking at a piece of art
Right Hemisphere
The spinal cord is encased in this
brainstem
The vertebrae at chest level are called ____________ vertebrae, and are labeled, T1-T12
Thoracic
found in the deeper tissues of the brain (subcortical). It contains nerve fibers (axons), which are extensions of nerve cells (neurons)
White Matter
This lobe processes sensory information and like pain and pressure
Parietal Lobe
the principal and most anterior part of the brain
Cerebrum
nerve cells that are activated by sensory input from the environment
Sensory Neurons
The vertebrae of the lower back are called the _____________ vertebrae, and are labeled L1-L5
Lumbar
makes up the outer most layer of the brain
Grey Matter
Processes visual information
Occipital Lobe
The fluid between the skull and the brain
cerebrospinal fluid
a specialized type of brain cell called neurons located within the spinal cord and the brain
Motor Neuron
The last set of vertebrae are called the __________ vertebrae and are labeled s1-s5
Sacral
Your brain doesn't grow by adding neurons, it grows by myelination and making _______________
Connections
