- Module 5.5: Plant and Animal Responses (The Brain)
- Brain Protection
- Skull
- Cerebrospinal fluid (liquid cushion)
- structure
- cerebrum
- Corpus Collosum
- cerebellum
- coordinates movement
- Thalamus
- Hypothalamus
- thermoregulate, monitors blood
- Pituitary gland
- medulla oblongata
- controls heartbeat
- cerebra; hemispheres
- ability to see, think, learn and feel emotion
- Cerebrum
- largest part
- consists of five main lobes
- frontal
- parietal
- occipital
- temporal
- cerebellum
- divided into two hemispheres (cerebral)
- joined by the corpus collosum
- left hemisphere controls right and vice versa
- cerebrum
- thin outer layer (grey matter)
- consists of neuron cell bodies that is highly folded
- below id white matter
- Cerebral Hemispheres
- Frontal lobe
- higher brain function (reasoning) + motor cortex
- Parietal lobe
- movement, sensation, recognition/memory
- Occipital lobe
- Visual cortex (processes eye info)
- Temporal lobe
- processes auditory information and is involved in memory
- Cerebellum
- under cerebrum
- involuntary action
- motor coordination - including balance
- Frontal lobe
- Pituitary Gland
- Anterior
- produces/releases hormones
- posterior
- stores/releases ADH
- Anterior
- Medulla Oblongata
- joins the spinal cord with the brain
- three centres
- cardiac centre
- regulates heart rate
- Respiratory centre
- inspiratory/expiratory centre
- Vasomotor centre
- controls b.p.
- cardiac centre
- Brain Protection
