Brain Functions (Flashcards, Matching and Concentration)

AB
Ventriclespaces in the brain filled with cerebrospinal fluid
Temporal lobememory, auditory, and olfactory
Precentral gyrusprimary motor
Pituitary gland"master gland" because of its control over all other glands
Parieto-occipital fissuredivides the occipital and parietal lobes
Optic chiasmaregaion where the right and left optic nerves cross over
Medulla oblongatacontrols vital functions, such as respiration and BP
Lateral fissureseparates the temporal lobe from the frontal and parietal lobes
Frontal lobehigher intellect, association, contains primary motor gyrus and motor speech area
Corpus callosumconnects the cerebral hemispheres
Cerebellumregulates posture and coordinates skeletal muscles
Broca's areamotor speech
Thalamusrelay station for afferent fibers, traveling to sensory cortex for interpretation
Postcentral gyrusprimary somatic sensory
Ponsregulates respiratory rhythm
Pineal bodysecretes melatonin, "body's clock"
Parietal lobespeech and reading, contains primary somatic sensory gyrus
Occipital lobevisual
Longitudinal fissuredivides the cerebral hemispheres
Hypothalamusregulates water balance and temperature, "drive center"
Choroid plexusforms cerebrospinal fluid
Central fissuredivides the frontal and parietal lobes
