The Brain
Four Major Regions
1. _______________ _______________
2. _______________
3. _______________ _______________
4. _______________
Cerebral hemispheres
Collectively known as the _______________
Most _______________ part of the brain and _______________ the other parts
_______________ matter of the cerebrum is known as the _______________ _______________ and makes
up the _______________ of the brain
The deeper cerebral _______________ matter is made of tracts that carry impulses to and from the
_______________. The tract that connects the two hemispheres is called the _______________
_______________
_______________ _______________ (or basal ganglia) refers to _______________ matter that is buried
deep within the _______________ matter
Also Contains
_______________ – elevated ridges of tissue
_______________ – shallow grooves
_______________ – deeper grooves that separate large areas of the brain
_______________ – areas of the brain that are named for the bone that covers them
Areas of the cerebrum
_______________ sensory area – area responsible
for sensory receptor _______________
o
The map of the areas of the somatic sensory
area responsible for body areas is known as
the _______________ _______________
o
It is _______________ _______________
and _______________
_______________motor area
Area that allows us to control our _______________muscles is
located in the frontal lobe right in front of the
______________________________.
The body can also represented in a diagram called the
______________________________
Other Areas of the Cerebrum
_______________area – in the _______________Lobe
_______________and _______________areas _______________Lobe
_______________area –involved in our ability to
_______________is found at the base of the
______________________________ (raised area anterior to
the central sulcus)
_______________area – allows us to _______________out words is found at the junction of the
_______________, _______________, and _______________lobes
Higher intellectual reasoning and socially acceptable behavior are also believe to be part of the
_______________lobe
_______________memories appear to be stored in the _______________and _______________lobes
The Diencephalon
Also called the _______________
Located just above the ___________________________and is enclosed in the
______________________________
Made up of the _______________, _______________, and _______________
Thalamus
Encloses the _______ ventricle (_______________) of the brain
_______________station for sensory impulses passing upward to the sensory cortexes
Allows for _______________recognition of whether the sensation will be _______________or
_______________
Hypothalamus
_______________part of diencephalon
Body’s _______________control center – controls _______________, _______________,
_______________balance
Center for many _______________and _______________, which makes it the major part of the
_______________system (emotional-visceral brain)
Regulates the _______________gland and has _______________bodies (reflex smell centers) bulge from
the bottom of the hypothalamus
Epithalamus
_______________of the 3rd ventricle
Contains the _______________body (part of endocrine system) and the _______________plexus (knots of
capillaries) of the third ventricle
Brain Stem
_______________area (diameter of a _______________and _____ inches long, but contains the
_______________, _______________, and ______________________________
Is responsible for _______________activities like _______________and _______________pressure
Cerebellum
Found under the _______________lobe of the cerebrum
Has _______________hemispheres and a _______________surface with _______________matter on the
outside and _______________matter on the inside.
Provides the _______________timing for skeletal muscle activity and controls our _______________and
_______________
