HBS 2.1 Review - Parts of the Brain

All four lobes of the brain

• Cerebrum

• Cerebellum

• Brain stem

• Cranium

Controls balance, walking, and standing. Posterior to the temporal lobe and inferior to the occipital lobe.

• Cerebrum

• Cerebellum

• Brain stem

• Cranium

Part of the cerebrum responsible for reasoning, logic, facial movement, and "higher level thinking."

• Frontal lobe

• Parietal lobe

• Temporal lobe

• Occipital lobe

Part of the frontal lobe responsible for coordinating and controlling voluntary movements.

• Wernicke's area

• Broca's area

• Motor cortex

• Sensory cortex

Part of the frontal lobe responsible for speech production. Anterior to the motor cortex.

• Broca's area

• Wernicke's area

• Amygdala

• Hippocampus

Lobe of the cerebrum responsible for receiving and interpreting sensory information. Posterior to the frontal lobe.

• Parietal lobe

• Temporal lobe

• Occipital lobe

• Brain stem

Part of the parietal lobe responsible for coordinating and processing information about touch, pain, and temperature. Posterior to the motor cortex.

• Sensory cortex

• Wernicke's area

• Pons

• Cerebellum

Lobe of the cerebrum responsible for vision. Most posterior lobe.

• Frontal

• Temporal

• Occipital

• Parietal

Lobe of the cerebrum responsible for processing auditory (sound) information and encoding long term memories. Deep to the ears.

• Frontal

• Temporal

• Occipital

• Parietal

Part of the temporal lobe responsible for understanding speech. Sometimes called the "language center."

• Broca's area

• Wernicke's area

• Hippocampus

• Thalamus
