Emotion, social judgment, and decision making are functions of this lobe.
What is frontal lobe?
100
The division of the nervous system that carries signals from nerve endings to the central nervous system.
What is the sensory (afferent) division?
100
These receptors respond to tissue damage; also known as pain receptors.
What are nociceptors?
100
A ring of colored muscle that works to adjust the diameter of the pupil.
What is the iris?

This hormone stimulates milk production in the mammary glands in female individuals.
What is prolactin?
200
Analyzing and interpreting visual information are functions of this brain lobe.
What is occipital lobe?
200
The part of the nervous system that carries signals from the skin, bones, joints, and muscles to the central nervous system is the
What is the somatic sensory?
200
These receptors respond to factors such as pressure or stretch that change the position of a receptor.
What are mechanoreceptor?
200
This is a thin layer of light-sensitive cells that make up the neural inner layer.
What is the retina?
200
This hormone stimulates contraction of the uterus during childbirth.
What is oxytocin?
300
Hearing, smell, and visual recognition are functions of this lobe.
What is temporal lobe?
300
The central nervous system includes these.
What is the brain and spinal cord?
300
These receptors allow you to orient your body in space and to know the position of your body parts.
What are proprioceptors?
300
This sits over the iris and admits light into the eye.
What is the cornea?
300
This hormone acts on the kidneys to reduce urine volume.

What is the frontal lobe?
500
In the central nervous system, the myelin sheath is formed by these.
What are oligodendrocytes?
500
These receptors respond to light; found only in the eye.

500
This drains aqueous humor from the anterior chamber.
