Describe/Identify
Which lobe is responsible for planning and initiating movements, social and emotional processing, and attention?
Frontal Lobe
The 12 cranial nerves belong to the Peripheral nervous system (PNS).
TRUE: The 12 cranial nerves belong to the Peripheral nervous system.
This lobe is involved with general senses and taste.
What does the parietal lobe involve?
This structure connects the left and right hemispheres
Corpus Callosum
What are the 2 subdivisions of the autonomic nervous system?
Sympathetic and Parasympathetic division
What does the Central Nervous System (CNS) consist of?
Cerebral cortex, Cerebellum, Diencephalon, Brainstem, Spinal cord
Broca's area is located in the Temporal lobe.
FALSE: Broca's area is located in the Frontal lobe.
Blindness occurs when this lobe is damaged.
What happens when the occipital lobe is damaged?
Relays information to brain (not including smells)
Thalamus
What are the thalamus, hypothalamus, and epithalamus portions of?
Diencephalon
True or False: The Cerebellum is part of the brainstem.
FALSE: The brainstem is made up of 3 parts (Midbrain; highest, Pons; middle, Medulla oblongata; lowest)
The most abundant type of glial cells in the human body are the Oligodendrocytes.
FALSE: The most abundant type of glial cells in the human body are Astrocytes.
Where is the primary motor cortex located?
The primary motor cortex is located in the frontal lobe.
This structure is active with short-term memory.
Hippocampus
What is a clear and colorless fluid that looks like plasma?
Cerebrospinal Fluid
The Microglia is responsible for which function?
Remove dead materials
Spinal Reflex arc has 5 components which are:
Receptor, Sensory Neuron (Afferent), Control center, Motor Neuron (Efferent), and Effector (muscle)
TRUE
What lobes of the cerebrum is responsible for auditory comprehension and hearing?
Temporal lobes
The structure responsible for relaying information between the body and the Central nervous system (CNS).
The Brainstem
What is referred to as the "little brain"
Cerebellum
Which nerve controls three of the four muscles of the tongue and all intrinsic muscles?
XII (Hypoglossal)
The primary structure responsible for coordination and fine movement also known as the "little brain" is the Cerebellum.
TRUE: The cerebellum also called the "little brain" is responsible for coordination, fine movement, and balance.
This lobe is referred often too as the "fifth lobe".
Insular Cortex
This structure controls the heart rate, breathing, and blood pressure.
What is the Medulla?
Which lobe contains the primary motor cortex, which is responsible for the precise movements of the hands and feet and is involved in the planning of learned motor activity?
Frontal lobe
