The part of the brain responsible for voluntary movement, conscious though, thinking, learning, and recognizing emotions:
diencephalon
ventricles
cerebrum
cerebellum
On the cerebral cortex, the grooves or valleys that result from an embryological increase in surface area and folding of the cortex:
sulci
gyri
csf
cord
Integrating sensory information and deciding how to respond to it are the primary functions of this part of the body:
central nervous system
sympathetic nervous system
somatic nervous system
peripheral nervous system
Automatic reflex centers for the heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, swallowing, and vomiting
Medulla Oblongata

On the cerebral cortex, the ridges that result from an embryological increase in surface area and folding of the cortex:
hemispheres
sulci
gyri
lobes
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
Part of the brain stem, serves as a pathway for nerve impulses. It also helps to regulate rate/depth of breathing.
midbrain
pons
medulla oblongata
hippocampus
Part of the CNS conducts signals between your brain and the rest of the body, and governs many reflexes and muscle patterns like walking:

sympathetic nervous system
spinal cord
parasympathetic nervous system

They hypothalamus controls the release of hormones but also does what?
moderates body functions such as sleeping and body temperature
checks information relayed to working memory
controls the excess of the emotional system
fine tunes our thoughts, emotions, and senses
What is the thalamus responsible for?
directs all incoming sensory information to other parts of the brain
moderates body functions such as sleeping
monitors higher order thinking
controls muscle movement

Parietal
Occipital
Which lobe of the brain primarily processes auditory information?
Frontal
Temporal
Parietal
