Nervous System
The primary cell that builds all the structures of the nervous system
Neuron
What part of the brain regulates movement, coordination, and balance?
Cerebellum
What part of the brain connects the left and right hemispheres and carries messages between the two?
Corpus Callosum
The function of this area is to produce speech and control the muscle movements involved in speech
Broca's Area
This lobe is known for controlling cognitive skills like memory, language, judgement, and many more.
Frontal Lobe
what does PNS stand for?
peripheral nervous system
Which part of the brain helps control autonomic functions like breathing and heart rate?
Medulla
What part of the brain houses a column of nerve fibers that connects almost all parts of the body to the brain?
Spinal Cord
This area is involved in comprehending and expressing language, and is usually found in the left temporal lobe.
Wernicke's Area
This lobe processes sensory information from all around the body; receives sensory input for touch and body position.
Parietal Lobe
Two subdivisions of the Autonomic Nervous System--and the function of each
Sympathetic "Fight of Flight" Parasympathetic Division- "rest and digest"
Which part of the brain connects the medulla to the thalamus and is involved in sleep and breathing?
Pons
Cerebrum
Which part of the brain helps coordinate sensory information?
Midbrain
This lobe receives information from the visual field.
Occipital Lobe
What does the Somatic divison of the nervous system conrol?
Voluntary movement of the body
What part of the brain does all of the sensory information pass through, passing the information to the cerebral cortex?
Thalamus
Which part of the brain is connected to the endocrine system and helps regulate body temperature?
Hypothalamus
THIS LOBE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ABSTRACT THOUGHT, EMOTIONAL CONTROL, ABILITY TO JUDGE AND PLAN.
THE FRONTAL LOBE
This lobe is in charge of memory storage, processing sound, and the use of language.
Temporal Lobe
What does a dendrite do?
Receives neurotransmitters from another neuron's axon terminal
What part of the brain plays an important role in processing and storing short and long-term memory?
Hippocampus
What part of the brain filters out unnecessary information and is located at the brainstem?
Reticular Activating System
THIS STRUCTURE SITS ON TOP OF THE BRAINSTEM AND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BRAIN.
THE THALAMUS
THESE ARE TWO LANGUAGE AREAS LOCATED IN THE LEFT HEMISPHERE.
BROCA'S AREA AND WERNCKE'S AREA
