Total questions: 25
Worksheet time: 46mins
What brain parts do you already know (even if you are not sure if they are correct, write them down). Name them and, if you can, say what they do (their function). What else do you know about the structure of the brain?
Name 2 functions of glial cells.
Why are case studies important in studying the brain?
Used to measure brain waves. Often used in sleep research.
EEG
CT/CAT
MRI
fMRI
PET
A 3-D x-ray; great for showing structure, tell us nothing about function.
EEG
CT/CAT
MRI
fMRI
PET
Can show us function by measuring the use of radioactive glucose in the brain.
EEG
CT/CAT
MRI
fMRI
PET
A more detailed picture of the brain, takes many still pictures and put them together like a movie-like production; works by using a magnetic field to knock electrons off their axis
EEG
CT/CAT
MRI
fMRI
PET
Shows us function; combination of PET and MRI
EEG
CT/CAT
MRI
fMRI
PET
COMPETITION!
First person to tell me what all 4 acronyms stand for! Spelling does NOT count as long as I can figure it out.
EEG, CT, MRI, PET
Which parts are a part of the brain stem? Check all that apply (are correct)
hippocampus
pons
medulla oblongata
reticular formation
thalamus
Routing of sensory input to other brain parts
Pons
Thalamus
Medulla oblongata
Reticular formation
Sleep-wake cycle and the filtering of some sensory info; runs from spinal cord to thalamus.
Pons
Thalamus
Medulla oblongata
Reticular formation
Messages from the brain stem to cerebellum; muscle movement and sleep coordination.
Pons
Thalamus
Medulla oblongata
Reticular formation
Keeps you heart beating and your lungs breathing.
Pons
Thalamus
Medulla oblongata
Reticular formation
"Little brain," voluntary muscle movement and coordination; and a bunch of other functions that are still being discovered including judging time and discriminating between sounds and textures.
brain stem
cerebellum
thalamus
medulla oblongata
The newer stuff includes the cerebral cortex and the (a) system
The (a) is to rage/fear/aggression and the hypothalamus is for body regulation and homeostasis.
The first reward center was discovered in which brain part?
hippocampus
amygdala
hypothalamus
What is one of the two memory tricks for remembering the hippocampus OR, come up with a new one of your own and share!
This is what most of us think of as our brains. It has 2 layers, including the "thinking crown." It is two hemispheres and four lobes.
Cerebellum
Cerebral cortex
Limbic System
The brain and body are (a) -lateral; meaning the left controls the ride side of the body and vice versa.
While we are not more left or right brained, it is true that that each hemisphere has different specializations.
True
False
What are the four lobes of the brain?
What is your reaction/thoughts related to the story of Cecil Clayton. Be honest, there are no wrong answers...it is an opinion or reaction.
