HBS - 2.1 Brain Review

Front

What is a gyrus in the brain?

Back

A gyrus is a convoluted ridge or fold between anatomical grooves on the surface of the brain.

Front

What part of the brain is responsible for regulating breathing, blood pressure, and heartbeat?

Back

The Brain Stem is responsible for these vital functions.

Front

Which part of the brain is primarily responsible for vision?

Back

The Occipital Lobe is responsible for processing visual information.

Front

What is a sulcus in the brain?

Back

A sulcus is a shallow furrow on the surface of the brain that separates adjacent gyri.

Front

What is the function of the cerebellum?

Back

The cerebellum is responsible for coordination of voluntary movements, balance, and motor learning.

Front

What are the main functions of the brain stem?

Back

The brain stem controls basic life functions such as breathing, heartbeat, and blood pressure.

Front

How do gyri and sulci contribute to brain function?

Back

Gyri and sulci increase the surface area of the brain, allowing for more neurons and enhancing cognitive abilities.

Front

What is the significance of the occipital lobe in the brain?

Back

The occipital lobe is crucial for visual processing and interpretation of visual stimuli.

Front

What anatomical structures separate the different lobes of the brain?

Back

Sulci are the anatomical structures that separate the different lobes of the brain.

Front

What role does the cerebellum play in motor control?

Back

The cerebellum fine-tunes motor activity, ensuring smooth and coordinated movements.
