Unit 5: Brain (Lobes of the Brain (Anatomy & Physiology), Major Divisions, Sulci/Fissures)

Frontal Lobe (location)

Parietal Lobe (location)

Occipital Lobe (location)

Temporal Lobe (location)

Cerebellum

Frontal Lobe (function)

Reasoning, planning, parts of speech, emotions, problem solving, and movement

Parietal Lobe (function)

Perception of stimuli: touch, pressure, temperature, and pain

Occipital Lobe (function)

Visual information

Temporal Lobe (function)

Perception and recognition of speech, hearing, and memory

Cerebellum (function)

Controls posture, movement, and balance.

Thalamus

Pons

Hypothalamus

lateral sulcus (sylvian fissure)

divides the temporal lobe from the frontal and anterior parietal lobes

central sulcus

Separates frontal lobe from parietal lobe

transverse fissure

divides the cerebrum from the cerebellum

longitudinal fissure

separates left and right hemispheres

primary motor cortex

the section of the frontal lobe responsible for voluntary movement

primary sensory cortex (somatosensory cortex)

the parts of the brain that receive information from the sensory receptors

Midbrain

Medulla oblongata

Epithalamus
