What are meninges?
This lobe is responsible for eyesight.

What is the temporal lobe?
This part of the brain is responsible for maintaining balance and coordination.
What is the cerebellum?

What is a reflex?
This connects the base of the brain to the spinal cord and consists of 3 parts.

What is the parietal lobe?
A disorder where a person acts as though they have a physical or mental illness, but they are really not sick. A person acting like this is looking or attention or sympathy.
What is factitious disorder?

What is sensory?
The inner most layer of meninges, located closest to the brain/spinal cord.
What is the pia mater?
This part of the brainstem is responsible for controlling basic survival functions (heart rate, blood pressure, muscles for breathing and some reflexes).
What is the medulla oblongata?
Serious temporary or ongoing changes in function, such as blindness or paralysis, that are triggered by psychological factors rather than a physical cause.
