Whats the cerebral hemisphere
Each side of the brain - can be divided into left and right
15 of 31
whats the cerebellum
The cerebellum is the area of the hindbrain that controls motor movement coordination, balance, equilibrium and muscle tone
16 of 31
whats the cranial cavity?
s the space formed inside the skull. The brain occupies the cranial cavity, which is lined by the meninges and which contains cerebrospinal fluid to cushion blows.
17 of 31
how many bones in the cranial cavity made up of
8
18 of 31
How many lobes for each hemisphere and name them
4 - frontal, temporal, parietal and occipital
19 of 31
what does the frontal lobe do?
associated with higher mental functions - planning and language
20 of 31
what does the parietal lobe process?
incoming sensation from the body
21 of 31
what does the temporal lobe process?
sound - also a site for sound and memory and vision
22 of 31
what does the motor cortex do?
gion of the cerebral cortex involved in the planning, control, and execution of voluntary movements
23 of 31
what does the occipital lobe do?
principal area for vision
24 of 31
what does the cingulate gyrus do?
Process emotion
25 of 31
what are the basal ganglia and where are they located?
group of nuclei of varied origin in the brains of vertebrates that act as a cohesive functional unit. They are situated at the base of the forebrain and are strongly connected with the cerebral cortex, thalamus and other brain areas.
26 of 31
what role do the basal ganglia have?
variety of functions, including voluntary motor control, procedural learning relating to routine behaviors or "habits" such as bruxism, eye movements, and cognitive,[1] emotional functions (control movement)
27 of 31
what role does the thalamus have?
principal site of processing sensory information
28 of 31
what does the hypothalamus do?
One of the most important functions of the hypothalamus is to link the nervous system to the endocrine system via the pituitary gland - important for homeostasis and endocrine control
29 of 31
role of the brain stem
coordinates motor control signals sent from the brain to the body. The brainstem also controls life supporting autonomic functions of the peripheral nervous system.
30 of 31
The spinal cord role
conduit (channel) for sensory inputs and motor outputs. alsoo processes these signals including the control of pain
