What does Fun Moms Smoke Pot On Tuesday stand for? ( brain question )

F(un)- Frontal Lobe

M(om)- Motor cortex

S(moke)- Sensory cortex

P(ot)-Parietal Lobe

O(n) - Occipital Lobe

T(uesdays)- Temporal lobe

Where is the frontal lobe?

Front of the brain

Where is the motor cortex?

Back of the frontal lobe

Where is the sensory cortex?

Between the motor cortex and parietal lobe

Where is the parietal lobe?

Top of the brain between frontal lobe and occipital lobe

Where is the Occipital lobe?

Back of the brain above the cerebellum

Where is the temporal lobe?

Bottom middle of the brain between the frontal lobe and spinal cord

Where is the thalamus?

Deep in the midbrain, between two cerebral hemispheres

Where is the medulla?

The base of your brain. Connects to your spinal cord

What does the medulla do? ( 3 main functions )

• Autonomic involuntary functions like sneezing and vomiting.

• Passes messages between spinal cord and brain

• Regulates cardiovascular and respiratory systems

( I think MED as medical- sneezing, vomiting, breathing, heart, spinal cord, brain )

What does the thalamus do?

Relays sensory and motor signals from various locations to the cerebral cortex. Alertness, sleep, consciousness, learning, and memory.

I think Mus= MUST sleep, learn, be alert, and conscious

What does the sensory cortex do?

Sensory information

What does the frontal lobe do? ( 1 main to think of- look at bottom of definition )

•control over thinking, movement, memory, social skills, behavior, interaction, self control, decision making, attention span, planning, judgement, inhibition, collecting and organizing info, decision making, motivation, problem solving, planning

MAIN TO REMEMBER: Abstract Thought

What does the motor cortex do? ( 3 main )

Planning, control, execution of voluntary movements

Think of a car motor causing it to function or MOVE

What does the Parietal Lobe do?

Sensory information and spatial awareness

remember by saying: Sensitive Parents or PS

What does your occipital lobe do?

Visual part of the brain- processes what we see. Such as colors, shapes, faces, and movements OR just remember: VISUAL/ O-O O=Eyes

What does the limbic system do?

Emotions, memory, learning

What does the amygdala do?

Basic emotions

What does the hippocampus do?

Learning and memory

What does the brain stem do?

Regulates important info such as breathing, heart rate, sleep, eating, and more

What does the temporal lobe do?

Emotional. Information from senses, memories, understand languages, HEARING, process emotions, some visual perception

Main: Sound and speech. I think of losing your Temper makes you scream (Sound and speech)

Which area would be primarily responsible for ducking when a friend throws a water balloon at you?

1. Temporal lobes

2. Parietal lobes

3. Frontal lobes

4. Occipital lobes

Occipital

Which area would be primarily responsible for buying refreshments and decorating your house for an upcoming party?

1. Temporal lobes

2. Parietal lobes

3. Frontal lobes

4. Occipital lobes

Frontal lobe

If an individual has trouble speaking after a car accident, they may have

1. Broca's Aphasia

2. Wernicke's Aphasia

Broca’s Aphasia

Voluntary behavior occurs in response to environmental stimuli through the:

1. Primary auditory cortex

2. Broca's area

3. Wernicke's area

4. Primary motor cortex

Primary motor cortex
