Psych Brain Test

brainstem function

breathing, circulation, digestion (basic needs) & input/output of sensory & motor info via nerves; all involuntary functions necessary for life

parts of the brainstem

• pons

• medulla oblongata

• midbrain

cerebellum function

motor control & motor memory; movements of skeletal muscle & balance

thalamus function

sort & send data; sensory processing

parts of the thalamus

• hypothalamus

• pituitary gland

hypothalamus function

maintaining homeostasis; regulates body temperature

pituitary gland

controls hormones & hormore secretion

cerebrum function

integration, making sense of incoming data; controls thinking

parts of the cerebrum

• corpus collosum

• cerebral cortex

• lobes

cerebral cortex function

memory, thinking, learning, reasoning

frontal lobe function

executive function, emotional control; decison making & judgement

parietal lobe function

senses (dealing with & reacting to environment); heat, cold, pain, touch

temporal lobe function
