Lobes of the brain
Responsible for visual perception and involved in some forms of visual short-term memory.
Occipital lobes
What is the broad band of nerve fibers that connect the left and the right cerebral hemispheres called?
Corpus callosum
This region of the internal brain controls body temperature, Thursday, appetite, sleep patterns and other processes in our bodies that happen automatically.
Hypothalamus
What part of the nervous system includes the brain and spinal cord?
Central nervous system
What part of a neuron receives the signal?
Dendrites
Responsible for processing smell and sound as well as the ability to recognize and understand words and language they are also involved in visual memory.
Temporal lobes
This cortex is responsible for the conscious perception of sound.
Auditory cortex
What region of the brain is responsible for balance, movement, and coordination?
Cerebellum
What part of the nervous system includes the nerves?
Peripheral nervous system
What is the output called, where the signal is being sent to the next neuron.
Synapse
Responsible for many roles and behavior and personality such as planning initiated movements social and emotional processing and attention as well as roles and memory retrieval and storage.
Frontal lobes
This internal brain region carries messages from the sensory organs, like the eyes, ears, nose, and fingers, to the cerebrum.
The thalamus
This region of the brain receives visual stimuli from the eyes and relay this information to the visual cortex in the occipital lobe.
Optic nerve and Chiasm
When you touch a hot stove what kind of neurons are receiving the stimuli from your environment?
Sensory neurons
What is another name for a neuron?
Nerve cell
Responsible for sensing touch spatial processing language and memory.
Parietal Lobes
This is the point where the spinal cord connects with the brain. This region takes And, since out, and coordinate all the brains messages. It controls the bodies vital functions, such as heartbeat, breathing, swelling, and digestion.
The brainstem
What region of the brain is responsible for the voluntary control of your skeletal muscles, the muscles we can move and control?
The motor cortex
I when you pull your hand back after touching a hot stove what neurons are sending a signal to your muscles in order to perform that movement?
Motor neuron
There are two types of neurons, that have two different jobs. What are those neurons called?
Motor and Sensory Neurons
The visual cortex is located within this lobe.
Occipital lobe
What region of the brain is responsible for reasoning planning memory and sensory processing. All conscious thought originates here.
cerebrum
What region of the brain is responsible for sensing touch, pressure, vibration, pain, temperature, and taste?
The sensory cortex
A nerve is made up of a bundle of _______?
Neurons
What part of a neuron it a fatty layer that helps the signal pass through the axon quickly?
Myelin Sheath
