the four adult brain regions are
brain stem
cerebellum
diencephalon
cerebral hemispheres
are the left and right sides separate
yes
left side controls the
right side
the four lobes are
frontal lobe
occipital lobe
temporal lobe
parietal lobe
deep to the gray matter of cortex
cerebral white matter
what is the weight of a male brain
1.6kg- 3.5 lbs
do any functional areas act alone
no
right side controls the
left side
contains primary motor cortex
frontal lobe
sits deep within the cerebral hemispheres
the diencephalon
what is the average female brain weight
1.42kg-3.1lb
what are the three regions
internal white matter
superficial cerebral cortex
basal nuclei
motor nerves cross sides in
the spinal cord
input from optic nerve
occipital lobe
egg shaped
the thalamus
are male and female brains the same size?
yes! on average
what is each side concerned with
sensory and motor functions of the opposite side
each hemisphere is divided into
four lobes
inputs are auditory, visual patterns
temporal lobe
most dorsal portion of the diencephalon
the epithalamus
does the brain itself have any pain receptors
no it does not
how many hemispheres are there
2
contra lateral =
opposite side
inputs from multiple senses
parietal lobe
caps the top of the brain stem
the hypothalamus
