Understanding the Brain and Responses

What are neurons responsible for in the brain?

• Regulating emotions

• Receiving sensory input and sending motor commands

• Controlling body temperature

• Relaying signals to the cerebral cortex

Which part of the brain is involved in emotion regulation and processing emotional memories?

• Thalamus

• Hypothalamus

• Amygdala

• Brain Stem

What is the primary function of sensory organs?

• To control hunger and thirst

• To receive stimuli and send signals to the brain

• To increase heart rate

• To connect the brain to the spinal cord

What role does the thalamus play in the brain?

• It controls basic life functions

• It regulates body temperature

• It acts as a relay station for sensory and motor signals

• It releases adrenaline

Which part of the brain connects to the spinal cord and controls basic life functions like breathing and heartbeat?

• Visual Cortex

• Amygdala

• Brain Stem

• Hypothalamus

What is the freeze response?

• A reaction to a threat where the body becomes immobile

• A hormone released in response to stress

• A part of the brain that processes visual information

• A relay station for sensory signals

Which brain region controls body temperature, hunger, thirst, and circadian rhythms?

• Thalamus

• Hypothalamus

• Amygdala

• Brain Stem

What is adrenaline?

• A part of the brain involved in emotion regulation

• A hormone released in response to stress

• A sensory organ

• A relay station for motor signals
