Pysch brain set

study all 24 sets, for their definition and their number

Pons

Number 3, Part of the hindbrain that relays messages the cerebellum and the cortex.

Thalamus

number 5. Part of the forebrain that relays information from sensory organs to the cerebral cortex.

Cerebellum

number 8. Part of the hindbrain that controls balance and maintains muscle coordination

Medulla

number 2. Part of the hindbrain that controls heartbeat, breathing and swallowing

Brainstem

number 1. The brain stem connects the brain and lower body and it controls important involuntary reflexes.

Hypothalamus

number 6. part of the forebrain that regulates the amount of fear, thirst and anger we feel

Pituitary gland

number 7. is the master gland the one that controls or influences all of the other endocrine glands.

Amygdala

number 9. Influences our motivation, emotional control, fear response, and descriptive facial expressions portraying emotion.

Hippocampus

number 10. Plays a role in our learning, memory, and ability to compare sensory information to expectations.

Cerebral cortex

number 11. contains billions of neurons arranged in layers and columns.  Its organized into functional areas, layers, lobes and hemispheres. It has many functions like controlling memory, language, perception and motor control.

12

right hemi

13

Frontal lobe

number 14. is in charge of planning, reasoning and social behavior.

Parietal lobe

Number 15. the area in charge of the processes of  information from the skin and internal body receptors for touch, temperature, and body position

Temporal lobe

number 16. is in charge of hearing, language comprehension, memory formation. Some parts of the temporal lobe help us process visual information.

Occipital lobe

number 17. Is mainly just in charge of visual processing. The occipital lobe is the smallest of all lobes and is the rear most lobe!

Primary motor cortex

number 18. motor cortex, a band of neurons located at the back of each lobe. These cells control the movements of the body’s voluntary muscles by sending commands out to the somatic division of the peripheral nervous system.

Primary sensory cortex

number 19. receives information about the sense of touch and body position. Its part of the somatosensory system!

Auditory cortex

number 20. The auditory cortex functions to analyze and decode auditory information collected by the ears and relayed along the auditory nerves.

Visual cortex

number 21. helps identify and make sense of the visual information from the eyes

Association area

number 22. Association areas are made up of neurons in the cortex that are devoted to making connections between the sensory information coming into the brain and stored memories, images, and knowledge. In other words, association areas help people make sense of the Incoming sensory input. 

Broca’s area

number 23. In charge of speech and language processing

Wernicke’s area

24.Wernicke’s area is a structure of the brain discovered by Carl Wernicke that is believed to be involved in language comprehension, specifically the comprehension of speech sounds.

Reticular formation

number 4 .A system of nerves running from the hindbrain and through the midbrain to the cerebral cortex, controlling arousal and attention.
