UNIVERSITY WITH CORRECT
SOLUTIONS (2026-2027 UPDATED)
GRADED A+
1. frontal lobe - -ANS☑️☑️--The lobe at the front of the brain associated with
movement, speech, and impulsive behavior. (primary motor lobe)
2. parietal lobe - -ANS☑️☑️--receives sensory input for touch and body position
(primary sensory area)
3. occipital lobe - -ANS☑️☑️--visual cortex
4. insula - -ANS☑️☑️--regions of cortex located at the junction of the frontal and
temporal lobes
5. Thalamus - -ANS☑️☑️--the brain's sensory control center, located on top of the
brainstem; it directs messages to the sensory receiving areas in the cortex and
transmits replies to the cerebellum and medulla (RELAY STATION BY OCCIPITAL
LOBE)
6. brain - -ANS☑️☑️--gray matter on the outside, white matter on the inside
7. spinal cord - -ANS☑️☑️--gray matter on the inside, white matter on the outside
, 8. Dreams - -ANS☑️☑️--a sequence of images, emotions, and thoughts passing
through a sleeping person's mind (REM SLEEP)
9. Rostral - -ANS☑️☑️--towards the forehead
10. Caudal - -ANS☑️☑️--toward the tail or spinal cord
11. reticular formation - -ANS☑️☑️--a nerve network in the brainstem that plays an
important role in controlling arousal
12. reticular activating system - -ANS☑️☑️--Located in the upper brain stem;
responsible for maintenance of consciousness, specifically one's level of arousal.
13. Cerebellum function - -ANS☑️☑️--the "little brain" at the rear of the brainstem;
functions include processing sensory input and coordinating movement output
and balance BALANCE
14. Hypothalamus function - -ANS☑️☑️--A neural structure lying below the
thalamus; it directs several maintenance activities (eating, drinking, body
temperature), helps govern the endocrine system via the pituitary gland, and is
linked to emotion and reward.
15. 4 regions of hypothalamus - -ANS☑️☑️--mammillary, tuberal, supraoptic,
preoptic
16. Wernicke's area - -ANS☑️☑️--controls language reception - a brain area
involved in language comprehension and expression; usually in the left temporal
lobe. Transmits speech to Broca's Area
