with 100% correct answers
2025
thalamus - answer relays for sensory info
hypothalamus - answer emotions,drives like hunger and
thirst, hormones, homeostasis (hooks to pituitary)
pituitary - answer primary link between nervous and
endocrine system
midbrain - answer processes visual and auditory info and
involuntary muscles; arousal from sleep, awareness,
eating, sleeping attention
pons - answer motor control, connects cerebellum to brain
stem
medulla oblongata - answer regulates heart rate, blood
pressure, respiration and digestion, connects brain to
spinal cord; vital centers
cerebrum - answer largest region of the brain, contains:
conscious thoughts, sensations, intellect, memory and
complex movements (many divisions called lobes)
, somatic motor association area - answer [cerebrum lobe
that] coordinates learned movements, speech
primary motor cortex - answer [cerebrum lobe that]
directs voluntary movements to motor neurons
primary sensory cortex - answer [cerebrum lobe that]
receives sensory input: touch, pressure, pain and
temperature
frontal lobe - answer [cerebrum lobe that] taste, predicts
future consequences of actions, abstract intellectual
functions, feelings of frustration, tension and anxiety
parietal lobe - answer [cerebrum lobe that] sensory
analysis of your body in space, processes external sensory
input; allows you to recognize a touch as light as a
mosquito on your skin
occipital lobe - answer [cerebrum lobe that] visual
processing and visual memory
temporal lobe - answer [cerebrum lobe that] hearing,
memory of sounds, speech, and understanding speech
olfactory bulb - answer interprets smell
cerebellum - answer timing, coordination, stored
memories
