Psychology 101 Module 5 Questions
– 100% Correct, Expert Verified
Answers with A+ Grade Assurance
Hindbrain ANSW ✔✔ consists of the medulla, pons, and cerebellum; directs essential
survival functions, such as breathing, sleeping, and wakefulness, as well as coordination and
balance.
Midbrain ANSW ✔✔ found atop the brainstem; connects the hindbrain with the forebrain,
controls some motor movement, and transmits auditory and visual information.
Forebrain ANSW ✔✔ consists of the cerebral cortex, thalamus, and hypothalamus;
manages complex cognitive activities, sensory and associative functions, and voluntary
motor activities.
Brainstem ANSW ✔✔ the central core of the brain, beginning where the spinal cord swells
as it enters the skull; the brainstem is responsible for automatic survival functions.
medulla oblongata ANSW ✔✔ the hindbrain structure that is the brainstem's base; controls
heartbeat and breathing.
Thalamus ANSW ✔✔ 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
reticular formation ANSW ✔✔ a nerve network that travels through the brainstem and
thalamus and plays an important role in controlling arousal
Cerebellum ANSW ✔✔ the hindbrain's "little brain" at the rear of the brainstem; functions
include processing sensory input, coordinating movement output and balance, and enabling
nonverbal learning and memory.
