3. cranial nerves
11. what are the cavities that the 1. ventricles (there are 4 of them)
brain is composed of
1. ventricles
2. atrium

13. what is the largest portion of 3. cerebrum
the brain

18. frontal lobe located in the front of the brain; main functions are to control
emotions and perform high-level cognitive functions such
as reasoning, abstraction, and concentration. provides for
storage of information. controls voluntary eye movement.
Broca's area is located here
19. Broca's area critical for motor control of speech
20. Broca's aphasia condition resulting from damage to Broca's area, causing the
affected person to be unable to speak fluently, to mispro-
nounce words, and to speak haltingly
21. parietal lobe middle part of the brain; main function is to integrate sensory
information
22. temporal lobe below the frontal and parietal lobe; main functions are inter-
pretation of smells, sounds, and language; Wernicke's area
is located here
23. Wernicke's area critical for language comprehension
24. occipital lobe located in the posterior lower aspect of the brain; main
function is to interpret visual stimuli and sense of light
25. which area of the brain is re- 3. frontal lobe
sponsible for cognition, emo-
tions, storage information, and
voluntary eye movement?
1. occipital lobe
2. parietal lobe
3. frontal lobe
4. temporal lobe
26. 1. parietal lobe

29. cerebellum A large structure of the hindbrain that controls fine motor
skills.

ed
31. cerebellum functions 1. links sensory input with motion
2. responsible for coordination of movement, speech, and
senses
