Central Nervous System

The general region of the brain responsible for quickly processing sensory information and responding with visual and auditory reflexes:

• midbrain

• cerebrum

• diencephalon

• cerebellum

The fluid in your CNS that cushions the brain and spinal cord and provides some nourishment

• cerebrospinal fluid

• blood

• ground substance

• plasma

Lateral region of the cerebrum processes auditory information like language and helps with balance

• temporal lobe

• hypothalamus

• occipital lobe

• parietal lobe

Region of the cerebrum, responsible for controlling voluntary muscle movement, and higher cognitive functions like planning and social inhibitions, is called:

• frontal lobe

• parietal lobe

• occipital lobe

• temporal lobe

Largest part of the brain, that is so big it covers most of the rest of the brain:

• telencephalon

• ventricles

• cerebrum

• cerebellum

Superior posterior region of the cerebrum processes sensory information from the body like touch, pressure, and pain:

• temporal lobe

• occipital lobe

• parietal lobe

• frontal lobe

Region of the cerebrum responsible for processing visual information:

• hypothalamus

• occipital lobe

• mamillary body

• parietal lobe

The "large body" that connects the left and right cerebral hemispheres:

• mamillary body

• frontal lobe

• corpus callosum

• temporal lobe

The part of the brain responsible for voluntary movement, conscious though, thinking, learning, and recognizing emotions:

• diencephalon

• ventricles

• cerebrum

• cerebellum

Region of the cerebrum that processes sensory information for the body like touch, pressure, and pain:

• hypothalamus

• parietal lobe

• cerebellum

• frontal lobe
