f) General sensory association area
g) Wernicke's area
h) Primary visual cortex
i) Visual association area
j) Primary auditory area
k) Auditory association area
l) Facial recognition area
m) Taste area
n) Smell area - ✔✔a) Frontal association area: planning, personality, decision-making;
in frontal lobe
b) General motor association area: plans and coordinates voluntary movements; in
frontal lobe
c) Primary motor area: initiates voluntary muscle movement; frontal lobe (precentral
gyrus)
d) Broca's area — speech/language production; frontal lobe
e) Primary somatosensory area — receives touch, pressure, pain, temperature, and
body position information; parietal lobe (postcentral gyrus)
f) General sensory association area — interprets and integrates sensory information;
parietal lobe
g) Wernicke's area — language comprehension; parietal-temporal region (usually
temporal lobe)
h) Primary visual cortex — receives visual input; occipital lobe
i) Visual association area — interprets visual information; occipital lobe
j) Primary auditory area — receives auditory input; temporal lobe
k) Auditory association area — interprets sounds; temporal lobe
, l) Facial recognition area — recognizes faces; temporal lobe
m) Taste area — processes taste sensations; parietal lobe (gustatory cortex region)
n) Smell area — processes olfactory information; temporal lobe (olfactory cortex)
✔✔What are the major functions and associated structures of each cerebral lobe? -
✔✔*Frontal Lobe:*
- General planning
- Motor cortex (voluntary movement)
- Broca's area (speech production)
*Parietal Lobe:*
- Somatosensory cortex
- Processes somatosensation and proprioception
*Occipital Lobe:*
- Vision
*Temporal Lobe:*
- Auditory processing
- Hippocampus (memory)
- Amygdala (emotion)
✔✔3 meninges that cover the CNS. Briefly explain each's texture and function - ✔✔1)
Dura mater
- thick and hard
- vein-like structure that carries blood from brain back to heart
- protects CNS from physical damage
2) Arachnoid mater
- Web-like, mesh-like
- surrounds the space containing cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which cushions the CNS
3) Pia mater
- soft, covers CNS like plastic wrap
- contains blood vessels that help nourish nervous tissue
✔✔Answer the following about the Blood Brain Barrier:
a) Formed by?
b) Function?
c) What can move across this membrane? - ✔✔a) Tight junctions between endothelial
cells in the capillaries in brain
