Intro to brain

The cortical regions at the back of the brain, housing the visual cortex

• Temporal Lobe

• Occipital Lobe

• Frontal Lobe

• Parietal Lobe

Cortical lobes that process sounds, including speech

• Temporal Lobe

• Occipital Lobe

• Parietal Lobe

• Frontal Lobe

How do the parts of the brain communicate?

• snapchat

• molecular transference

• cells

• neurons

Front of the brain; especially involved in movement and thinking

• Occipital Lobe

• Frontal Lobe

• Parietal Lobe

• Temporal Lobe

The band of nerve cells that connects the two cerebral hemispheres

• motor cortex

• somatosensory cortex

• corpus collosum

• medulla

Part of the cortex involved with sensations of touch

• Visual Cortex

• Auditory Cortex

• Somatosensory Cortex

• Motor Cortex

Part of the cortex that controls voluntary movement

• Somatosensory Cortex

• Visual Cortex

• Auditory Cortex

• Motor Cortex

What are the two functions of the cerebrospinal fluid?

• protection of nerve tissue from injury

• storing memories

• providing nutrients and oxygen for the neurons

• sorting out feelings

• focusing

Which of these does not protect the brain?

• skull

• meninges

• cerebro-spinal fluid

• medulla oblongata

Where is the "tree of life" (arbor vitae)?

• cerebrum

• medulla

• reticular formation

• cerebellum
