Center for basic emotional drives - The “emotional brain”. – Motivation; goal directed behavior; Fear; Aggression; Sex drive

limbic system

Excess cerebrospinal fluid is returned to the venous circulation by

movement across the arachnoid villi

The site of cerebrospinal fluid production

choroid plexus

Name of the folds in the cortex that function to increase the surface area

Gyri

Maintains cerebral cortical alertness. Sends impulses to the cerebral cortex keeping the cortex alert. – Filters out repetitive stimuli from sensory inputs such as pressure from your watch, clothes, etc.

RAS (reticular activating system)

Region that contains the thalamus, hypothalamus and pineal gland

diencephalon

Bridges the spinal cord to the brain and parts of the brain with each other

pons

The lobe that functions in the interpretation of auditory sensations

temporal lobe

The lobe that functions in somatosensory interpretation (cutaneous and muscular sensations) and interpretation of textures and shapes is the

parietal

The lobe that functions in voluntary control of skeletal muscles and learned skilled movements is the

frontal lobe

The brain structure that functions to control and integrate activities of the autonomic nervous system is the

hypothalamus

That portion of the brain housing the "four bodies" known as the corpora quadrigemina is the

midbrain

Structures of the tectum that are reflex centers for movements of the head and body in response to auditory stimuli.

inferior colliculi

Structures of the tectum that are reflex centers of movement of the eyes, head and neck in response to visual stimul

superior colliculi

Structure that consists of the medulla oblongata, pons, and midbrain

brain stem

Contains centers that regulate autonomic functions such as: Cardiovascular center (Heart rate and blood pressure

medulla oblongata

Contains all ascending and descending fiber tracts that link the spinal cord to the brain. – Where fiber tracts cross over

medulla oblongata

Together with the medulla oblongata help control breathing (respiratory rhythm)

pons

Region that contains the thalamus, hypothalamus and pineal gland

diencephalon

Coordination and refinement of learned movement patterns at the subconscious level (example: playing tennis) are performed by the

cerebellum

The two cerebral hemispheres are connected by the

corpus collosum

Melatonin is a hormone secreted by what structure?

pineal gland

The portion of the brain acting primarily as a relay center through which all sensory information (except smell) passes on the way to the cerebrum

thalamus

The cavities within the brain are called

ventricles

The largest part of the brain

cerebrum

The arbor vitae or "tree of life" is in what structure?

cerebellum

Brain lobe that functions in Vision – Integration of movements for focusing the eye. – Interpretation of visual images

occipital lobe

Brain lobe that functions in memory storage of auditory and visual experiences, and associations made between sight and sounds is the

temporal lobe

Brain lobe that functions in somatosensory interpretation (cutaneous and muscular sensations) – Interpretation of textures and shapes

parietal lobe

Brain lobe that functions in reasoning; higher intellectual processes (decision making, planning), personality, and consciousness;

Frontal lobe
