MD Activity 2.4 Parts of the Brain Review (PLTW)

Which part of the brain is responsible for balance, movement, and coordination?

• Cerebrum

• Cerebellum

• Brain Stem

• Temporal Lobe

Identify the brain region that is responsible for visual perception and involved in some forms of visual, short-term memory.

• Frontal Lobe

• Parietal Lobe

• Occipital Lobe

• Temporal Lobe

Match the brain region with its function: "Responsible for the voluntary control of your skeletal muscles."

• Sensory Cortex

• Motor Cortex

• Visual Cortex

• Auditory Cortex

Which part of the brain connects the left and right cerebral hemispheres?

• Cerebrum

• Corpus Callosum

• Brain Stem

• Cerebellum

What is the function of the olfactory bulbs/tracts?

• Receive information about smells from the nose and send it to the brain

• Responsible for visual perception

• Control balance and coordination

• Relay visual stimuli to the visual cortex

Which brain region is responsible for processing smell and sound, as well as the ability to recognize and understand words and language?

• Frontal Lobes

• Parietal Lobes

• Temporal Lobes

• Occipital Lobes

Explain the role of the brain stem in the human body.

• It is responsible for reasoning and planning.

• It controls the body's vital functions, such as heartbeat and breathing.

• It processes visual information.

• It is involved in memory retrieval and storage.

NGSS.HS-LS1-3

Describe the function of the optic nerves and chiasm.

• They are responsible for balance and coordination.

• They receive visual stimuli from the eyes and relay this information to the visual cortex.

• They process smell and sound.

• They control voluntary muscle movements.

How do the frontal lobes contribute to behavior and personality?

• They are involved in visual perception.

• They control balance and coordination.

• They play roles in planning, social and emotional processing, and attention.

• They process smell and sound.

What is the primary function of the sensory cortex?

• It is responsible for the conscious perception of sound.

• It senses touch, pressure, vibration, pain, temperature, and taste.

• It processes visual information.

• It controls voluntary muscle movements.
