The Nervous System
Lobes
Scans/ Left and Right Brain
Random
100
Where in the brain is the Cerebrum located?
Front area of the skull
100
This consists of the brain and spinal cord.
The Central Nervous System
100
located beneath the temples and it helps with understanding and production of speech
The Temporal Lobe
100
This can be used to generate images of a patient’s brain.
MRI scan
100
it regulates breathing, heart and blood vessel function, digestion, sneezing, and swallowing.
The Medulla
200
The back lower portion of the brain
The Cerebellum
200
It controls the activities of the body from the brain.
The Central Nervous system
200
located near the bottom, back part of the cerebral cortex. It’s primary Function is to process visual information from the eyes
The Occipital Lobe
200
a technique for recording and interpreting the electrical activity of the brain.
EEG scan
200
acts as the connector between the endocrine and nervous systems. It plays a part in many essential functions of the body such as body temperature thirst and Emotions
The Hypothalamus
300
It is function is to coordinate and regulate muscular activity.
The Cerebellum
300
The nervous system outside the brain and spinal cord.
The Peripheral Nervous System
300
at the top of the head, including areas concerned with the reception and correlation of sensory information.
The Parietal Lobe
300
neuro-imaging technique used in biomedical research and in diagnosis that detects changes in blood flow in the brain
FMRI scan
300
associated mainly with memory, in particular long-term memory.
The Hippocampus
400
It is responsible for the integration of complex sensory and neural functions and the initiation and coordination of voluntary activity in the body.
The Cerebrum
400
This system conserves energy as it slows the heart rate, increases intestinal and gland activity, and relaxes sphincter muscles in the gastrointestinal tract.
The Parasympathetic Nervous System
400
it includes areas concerned with behavior, learning, personality, and voluntary movement.
The Frontal Lobe
400
often said to be more logical, analytical, and objective.
The Left Brain
400
the part of the nervous system responsible for control of the bodily functions not consciously directed, such as breathing, the heartbeat, and digestive processes.
Autonomic System
500
What is the difference between Broca's Area and Wernicke's Area?
Broca's Area produces speech and Wernicke's Area comprehends and understands speech
500
it activates what is often termed the fight or flight response.
The Sympathetic nervous system
500
The region of the brain primarily associated with emotional processes.
The Amygdala
500
It controls reading and writing, calculation, and logical thinking.
The Right Brain
500
The part of the peripheral nervous system associated with skeletal muscle voluntary control of body movement.
The Somatic System
