HBS 2.1.1: Mind Matters

What is the name is the area of the brain marked here in blue?

• Frontal lobe

• Temporal Lobe

• Cerebellum

• Occipital lobe

What is the name of the region of the brain shown here in yellow?

• Cerebellum

• Temporal Lobe

• Parietal lobe

• Frontal lobe

What is the region of the brain shown here in pink?

• Medulla oblongata

• Temporal lobe

• Occipital lobe

• Parietal lobe

Answer explanation

The area shown in pink is the Occipital Lobe

(This region of the skull is called the occipital bone)

What is the region of the brain shown here in green?

• Frontal lobe

• Temporal lobe

• Parietal lobe

• Occipital lobe

Answer explanation

The area shown in green is the Temporal Lobe

(This region of the skull is also called the temporal bone)

What region of the brain would include the motor cortex?

• blue

• green

• yellow

• red

Answer explanation

The motor cortex is on the posterior frontal lobe, which is shown in the image in blue.

What region of the brain is shown here in striated white?

• Occipital lobe

• motor cortex

• sensory cortex

• Cerebellum

Answer explanation

The area of the brain shown in the last image in striated white is the cerebellum. It is one of three major structures of the brain.

What region of the brain would include the sensory cortex?

• blue

• green

• yellow

• red

Answer explanation

The sensory cortex is located on the anterior parietal lobe, which is shown in this image in yellow.

Identify the area of the brain highlighted.

• Brain stem

• Cerebellum

• Spine

• Medulla oblongata

Which is the name of the raised portions of the brain surface?
(Shown in the image as letter "A")

• gyrus

• sulcus

• cortex

• medulla

Answer explanation

The raised portion of the brain surface is the gyrus. (Multiple gyrus= gyri)

The indented portion between one gyrus and another, or the "wrinkle" of the brain, is the sulcus.
(Multiple sulcus=sulci)

The area shaded in green is known as the:

• Pons
• Medulla Oblongata
• Cerebellum
• Hypothalamus
