These send electrical impulses to neighbouring neurons.
Synapses
Receive electrical impulses from the neighbouring neurons.
Dendrites
What is the primary function of the frontal lobe?
Control cognitive functions
Which part of the brain is responsible for language processing?
Left hemisphere
Which part of the brain is responsible for processing sensory information?
cerebral cortex
Which controls personality, short term memory, & speech
frontal lobe
Responsible for integrating sensory information, including touch, temperature, pressure and pain.
Parietal lobe
Identify the lobe of the brain highlighted.
Occipital lobe
Which part of the brain controls basic functions like breathing and heart rate?
brainstem
Which part of the brain is involved in emotions and memory?
limbic system
This looks like a smaller version of the brain stuck to the underside of the brain.
cerebellum
What is the main function of the temporal lobe?
Process auditory information, memory, language, and emotion.
The Medulla does all of these except?
thinking
The part of the brain that is used for functions such a memory, problem-solving, emotions, etc.
Frontal Lobe
Area at the rear of the frontal lobes that controls voluntary movements.
Motor Cortex
What is the role of the amygdala?
The amygdala is responsible for processing emotions and storing emotional memories.
Identify the area of the brain highlighted.
Parietal lobe
Identify the structure in green.
occipital lobe
Label the 4 lobes of the brain as indicated by the numbers in the diagram.
1: Frontal lobe
2: Parietal lobe
3: Occipital lobe
4: Temporal lobe
Carries messages between the body and the brain:
spinal cord
Identify the area of the brain highlighted.
cerebrum
Gatekeeper between the brain and the body, this structure relays incoming sensory signals to the brain's cortex and outgoing motor signals to the peripheral nervous system.
thalamus
Click on the spot that represents the temporal lobe which is deals with language, memory and auditory.
C
This part of the brain controls the endocrine system.
Hypothalamus
Click on the spot that represents the parietal lobe which is responsible for processing sensory information.
B
Identify the lobe of the brain highlighted.
Temporal lobe
Identify the area of the brain highlighted.
Brain stem
Controls hearing, and language comprehension
Temporal Lobe
Identify the area of the brain highlighted.
Frontal lobe
The Occipital Lobe is responsible for what?
Visual information
Allows the two hemispheres to communicate.
corpus callosum
The parietal lobe is...
where your brain processes sensory information, primarily from skin.
Click on the spot that represents the frontal lobe which is responsible for problem solving, and higher level functions.
A
Which has to do with speech, taste, and thought?
parietal lobe
The basic structural and functional unit of brain is
Neuron
What is the function of the occipital lobe?
Processing visual information and interpreting visual stimuli
Makes decisions, plans, reasons, and carries out behaviors
Frontal Lobe
Identify the structure in green.
frontal lobe
The visual cortex is located in the
occipital lobe
What is the role of the corpus callosum?
The corpus callosum connects the left and right hemispheres of the brain.
