WHAT ARE THE FRONTAL LOBES?
Controls our ability with music
including rhythm.
WHAT IS THE RIGHT TEMPORAL LOBE?
Enables us to process language
WHAT IS THE LEFT TEMPORAL LOBE?
process visual input
WHAT ARE THE OCCIPTAL LOBES?
receive sensations of touch,
body position, hearing
WHAT DO THE PARIETAL LOBES DO?
master gland
WHAT IS THE PITUITARY?
Control the development of male
sexual characteristics
WHAT ARE THE TESTES?
Control the development of female
sexual characteristics
WHAT ARE THE OVARIES?
Glands that control the
fight-or-flight response
WHAT ARE THE ADRENAL GLANDS?
Involved with metabolism,
physical growth and
development
WHAT IS THE THYROID?
Brain and spinal cord
WHAT MAKES UP THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM?
nervous system outside
central nervous system
WHAT IS THE PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYTEM?
The portion of the peripheral nervous
system that sends communications
between the central nervous system and
the internal organs and glands – we do not
consciously control it.
WHAT IS THE AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM?
The part of the autonomic nervous system
that sends messages to internal organs
and glands that help us to respond to
stressful and emergency situations.
WHAT IS THE SYMPATHETIC DIVISION?
The part of the autonomic nervous system
that monitors the routine operations of the
internal organs and returns the body to
calmer functioning after arousal.
WHAT IS THE PARASYMPATHETIC DIVISION?
A branched fiber that extends outward
from the main cell body and carries
information into the neuron –
it receives input
WHAT IS A DENDRITE?
The part of the neuron that is also
called the cell body
WHAT IS THE SOMA?
An extended fiber in a neuron
that conducts information from the
cell body to the terminal buttons.
WHAT IS AN AXON?
The microscopic gap that serves as a
communications link between neurons
WHAT IS A SYNAPSE?
Chemical messengers that relay neural
messages across the synapse.
WHAT ARE NEUROTRANSMITTERS?
A component of the limbic system,
involved in establishing long
term memories
WHAT IS THE HIPPOCAMPUS?
A limbic system structure involved
in memory and emotion, particularly
in aggression
WHAT IS THE AMYGDALA?
The “little brain” attached to the
brain stem. It is responsible for
coordinated movements
WHAT IS THE CEREBELLUM?
The band of nerve fibers that connects
the two cerebral hemispheres
WHAT IS THE CORPUS CALLOSUM?
The brain-stem structure that controls
breathing and heart rate
WHAT IS THE MEDULLA?
