The Four Lobes of The Brain
What are the four lobes of the brain?
Frontal, Parietal, Temporal, and Occipital!
What is the main part of a neuron and receives and processes electrical impulses from the dendrites?
Our soma!
What part of the brain is called the "wise leader" or "control panel" of the brain?
Our prefrontal cortex!
What is one example of a reflex?
If you get burned or touch something hot, you would move your hand away. If something is cold, you would retract your hand. If you see a sharp knife, you would move away from it.
The Frontal lobe doesn't reach maturity until approximately how old?
25!
False! Our reflexes do that!
If your left or right handed, you're using both sides of your brain equally. True or False?
False! Studies show that if you're left handed, that means your left side of the brain is stronger. If you're right handed, your right side is stronger. But you use them both everyday.
What does a neuron do?
The neuron is a big part of the nervous system. It plays a giant role in sending information throughout the body. Neurons are like messengers, they carry information in and out, sending and receiving signals.
((EASIER ANSWER)) They send out information and signals.
What is one thing you wouldn't be able to do if your Temporal lobe was damaged?
Correct Answers:
Remembering simple words or things.
Not being able to recognize faces. Unable to speak properly.
Can't understand simple words or other sentences.
Which neuron's job is it to receive information from other neurons which are called pre-synaptic neurons?
Dendrites!
What part of the brain is called the "memory maker"?
The hippocampus!
Which neuron connects the sensory neurons to your motor neurons?
The interneurons!
True or False?
The Temporal lobe processes pain, temperature, touch, and has a comprehensive understanding of our world.
False! The Parietal lobe does that.
((BONUS QUESTION FOR FUN))
What does the Temporal lobe actually do?
Which neuron is long and slender, and also conducts electrical impulses, or action movements, away from the neuron's cell body to transmit those impulses to other neurons?
The axon!
What part of the brain is called the "security guard"?
Amygdala!
Which neuron carries signals from the outer parts of our body to our nervous system?
Our sensory neurons!
What is the smallest lobe in the brain?
The occipital lobe!
Which neurons are specialized endings of axons, the long, slender projections that carry electrical signals away from the neuron's cell body?
The axon terminal!
Which side of your brain is the analytical side?
The left side!
What neuron carries signals from the central nervous system to the outer parts of your body?
Your motor neurons!
