Back (Answer)

1) Hindbrain 2) Midbrain 3) Forebrain

#6
Front (Question)

Medulla/Medulla Oblongata

Back (Answer)

Hindbrain - Cue: “without it, me die” - Coordinates heart rate, circulation, respiration

#7
Front (Question)

Reticular Formation

Back (Answer)

Hindbrain - Sleep, wakefulness, levels of arousal

#8

Cerebellum

Back (Answer)

Hindbrain - Fine motor skills

#9
Front (Question)

Pons

Back (Answer)

Hindbrain - Relays info from cerebellum to rest of brain – detailed function still unknown

#10
Front (Question)

Tectum

Back (Answer)

Midbrain - Orients an organism in their environment

#11
Front (Question)

Tegmentum

Back (Answer)

Midbrain - Movement and arousal, homeostatic and reflex pathways

#12
Front (Question)

Cerebral Cortex

Back (Answer)

Outermost layer of brain - divided into 2 hemispheres and 4 lobes

#13
Front (Question)

Gyri vs. Sulci

Back (Answer)

Gyri: The raised parts of the brain Sulci: The indentations

#14
Front (Question)

What are commissures?

Back (Answer)

Bundles of axons that allow parallel parts of the brain to communicate with each other

#15
Front (Question)

Corpus Callosum

Back (Answer)

Forebrain - Cerebral Cortex - Largest commissure

#16
Front (Question)

What are the 4 lobes of the cerebral cortex?

Back (Answer)

1) Frontal lobe 2) Parietal lobe 3) Temporal lobe 4) Occipital lobe

#17
Front (Question)

Frontal Lobe

Back (Answer)

Forebrain - Cerebral Cortex - Movement, abstract thinking, executive functioning, memory, judgement - Contains Broca’s Area

#18
Front (Question)

Parietal Lobe

Back (Answer)

Forebrain - Cerebral Cortex - Sensory input, visual processing, coordinating movement - Contains somatosensory cortex

#19
Front (Question)

Temporal Lobe

Back (Answer)

Forebrain - Cerebral Cortex - Hearing and language - Contains Wernicke’s Area

#20
Front (Question)

Occipital Lobe

Back (Answer)

Forebrain - Cerebral Cortex - Processes visual info

#21
Front (Question)

What major parts of the brain are part of the limbic system?

Back (Answer)

• Thalamus • Hypothalamus • Hippocampus • Amygdala • Basal Ganglia

#22
Front (Question)

Thalamus

Back (Answer)

Forebrain - Subcortical - Filters info from all major senses except for smell & relays them to the cerebral cortex

#23
Front (Question)

Hypothalamus

Back (Answer)

Forebrain - Subcortical - Homeostasis, blood sugar/metabolism, hunger, thirst, and sexual behavior

#24
Front (Question)

Hippocampus

Back (Answer)

Forebrain - Subcortical - creates new memories and stores them long-term
