cerebrum, cerebellum, brainstem

New cards
2

cerebrum

2 hemispheres connected by corpus callosum. Organized into 4 lobes

New cards
3

cerebellum function

balance, coordination, movement, motor skills, processing some types of memory

New cards
4

brainstem

relay system for sensory info and controls life-sustaining function

New cards
5

midbrain

connects brain and thalamus, 3 parts: substantia nigra, red nucleus, subthalamic nucleus

New cards
6

substantia nigra

supplies dopamine to basal ganglia

New cards
7

red nucleus

oval mass of cells that acts as a relay station for sensorimotor info

New cards
8

subthalamic nucleus

supports motor movements

New cards
9

pons

where some cranial nerves originate (parts of reticular formation)

New cards
10

medulla oblongata

contains some cranial nerve nuclei

New cards
11

forebrain

telencephalon and diencephalon

New cards
12

telencephalon

cerebral cortex, basal ganglia, limbic system, lateral ventricles

New cards
13

diencephalon

thalamus, hypothalamus, 3rd ventricle

New cards
14

prefrontal cortex

contributes to personality and mood, regulates cognitive functions, frontal lobe

New cards
15

motor cortex

primary motor strip, premotor cortex, supplemental motor area, frontal lobe

New cards
16

broca’s area

verbal expression and programming movements for speech production, frontal lobe

New cards
17

primary motor strip

where motor activity and muscle control is initiated

New cards
18

premotor cortex

helps acquire new motor sequences

New cards
