Parts of the Brain

A blind person may have experienced damage to her:

• visual cortex
• prefrontal area
• Broca's area
• auditory association area

The four regions of the cerebral cortex are referred to as:

• lesions
• lobes
• pons
• corpus callosum

If a head injury results in someone no longer being able to hear, which part of the brain may have been damaged?

• temporal lobe
• occipital lobe
• parietal lobe
• frontal lobe

Speech that is jumbled and not understandable is a sign of:

• Wernicke's Aphasia
• a split brain operation
• Broca's aphasia
• sensory aphasia

The cerebellum controls...

• Movement and Balance

• Heartbeat and Breathing

• Personality and Feelings

• Sight

Which part of the brain connects to the spinal cord?

• Brain Stem

• Cerebrum

• Cerebellum

• Occipital Lobe

The brain and spinal cord are part of

• The Nervous System

• The Digestive System

• The Circulatory System

• The Muscular System

This structure helps pass information between the two hemispheres of the brain.

• corpus callosum
• hypothalamus
• pons
• amygdala

When this area of the brain is damaged, patients loose the ability to speak fluently.

• Broca's area
• Hypothalamus
• Amygdala
• Occipital lobe

You actually do 'have eyes in the back of your head' because this region of the brain responsible for visual processing is right above the cerebellum!

• temporal lobe
• sensory cortex
• occipital lobe
• gyri
