Brain Anatomy
100

The Lobe located at the front of the brain.

Frontal Lobe

100

Controls heartbeat, breathing, blood pressure, sending signals to and from brain, and sleeping.

Brain Stem Function

100

The cells that communicate to pass information from one spot in the body to another.

Neurons

100

What is the stimuli for taste and smell.

Chemicals

100

Regulates hunger, thirst, body temperature, sleep cycles, and emotions.

Hypothalamus

200

The Lobe located on the side of the head.

Temporal Lobe

200

Controls balance and coordination, fine motor, fear and pleasure.

Cerebellum Function

200

What happens when neurons aren't used?

They eventually die.

200

What is the stimuli for sound.

Sound wave/vibrations

200

Regulates sleeping, waking, and face movements.

Pons.

300

The Lobe located at the back of the brain.

Occipital Lobe

300

Controls visual processing, perception of space, color and motion.

Occipital Lobe Function

300

What sends information to other cells?

Axon

300

Chemicals -> Taste Receptors -> Thalamus -> Gustatory Cortex

Gustatory System order.

300
Allows communication between the brain and the body, controls balance and coordination. Consists of mid brain, pons, and medulla.

Brain Stem

400

The Lobe located on the top of the brain.

Parietal Lobe

400

Involved with memories, sensory input, understanding language, hearing and smell, and long term memory.

Temporal Lobe Function

400

What receives information from other cells?

Dendrites

400

Chemicals -> Smell Receptors -> Olfactory Bulb ->  Olfactory Cortex

Olfactory System order.

400

Receives information from the body and distributes the information to other parts of the brain.

Thalamus

500

Located at the back of the brain, below the Occipital Lobe.

Cerebellum

500

Involved with sensory processing, spatial sense, touch, language, and recognition.

Parietal Lobe Function

500

Passing information from on spot to another through Neurons.

Neurotransmission

500

Vibrations -> Eardrum -> Anvil, Stirrup, and Hammer   -> Cochlea/Hair cells -> Thalamus -> Auditory Cortex

Auditory System Order

500

Controls breathing and heart rate.

Medulla
