Cerebrum, diencephalon, 4 major parts of the brain
cerebellum, and brainstem
Carotid arteries These supply most of the blood to the brain.
Frontal, Parietal, Temporal, Occipital Four lobes of the cerebrum
Frontal lobe Part of the brain that contains Primary motor
cortex, voluntary motor activity, Broca's area;
intellectual function, awareness, personality, and
emotion
Broca's Area Area of the left frontal lobe involved in the
formulation of words
Parietal lobe Part of the brain that contains primary sensory
cortex, sensory input like position, touch, shape,
and texture.
Temporal lobe Part of the brain that contains primary auditory
complex, Wernicke's area; auditory, visual, and
somatic sensory inputs stored in thought & memory
, Wernicke's Area Area of the left temporal lobe responsible for
comprehension of spoken and written language
Occipital lobe Part of the brain that contains the primary visual
cortex
Diencephalon Made up of the thalamus, hypothalamus,
epithalamus, and subthalamus
Hypothalamus Part of diencephalon that is vital for maintaining
homeostasis including body temp, hunger/thirst,
ANS responses
Pituitary Gland Stores and secretes hormones
Basal Ganglia Area of the brain that controls smooth,
coordinated, voluntary movement
Brainstem Comprised of the midbrain, pons, and medulla
oblongata
Ten Number of cranial nerves that originate from the
brainstem
Midbrain Relays stimuli concerning muscle movement to
other brain structures; reflex motor movements
Pons Relays impulses to brain centers and lower spinal
nerves
Medulla Oblongata Contains reflex centers for controlling involuntary
functions like breathing, sneezing, and
vasoconstriction
