Structure and Functions of the Brain

This brain structure is shaped and similar size to an almond, and is attached to the end of the hippocampus. (Sousa, 2016)

• Cerebrum

• Frontal Lobes

• Amygdala

• Thalamus

This structure regulates people's interactions with the environment. (Sousa, 2016)

• Hypothalamus

• Brain Stem

• Amygdala

• Hippocampus

This brain structure is the oldest and deepest area of the brain. (Sousa, 2016)

Check all functions that are associated with the brain stem. (Sousa, 2016)

• 11 of the 12 body nerves end in the brain stem.

• Olfactory nerve ends in the brain stem.

• Heartbeat is monitored and controlled by the brain stem.

• Body temperature is monitored and controlled by the brain stem.

• Memory is controlled and monitored by the brain stem.

The brain structure represents almost 80% of the brain's weight. (Sousa, 2016)

• Brain Stem

• Cerebrum

• Cerebellum

• Thalamus

This brain structure controls thinking, memory, speech, and muscular movement. (Sousa, 2016)

The structure of the brain is located below the rear part of the cerebrum, right behind the brain stem. (Sousa, 2016)

• Amygdala

• Frontal Lobes

• Hippocampus

• Cerebellum

This brain structure's function is to coordinate movement. (Sousa, 2016)

This brain structure is located right behind the forehead. (Sousa, 2016)

The Frontal Lobes are responsible for... (Sousa, 2016)

• Movement

• Planning and Thinking

• Smell

• Sight
