Which structure is involved with learning, memory, languages
The cerebrum
What are the 4 main lobes of the brain?
Frontal, occipital, temporal, parietal
what are receptors?
cells that detect stimuli and send information to the nervous system
What does the nervous system control?
EVERYTHING
The brain controls body functions by sending and receiving electrical signals through
nerves
What is the function of interneurons?
carry information between motor and sensory neurons
This lobe is responsible for hearing/auditory processing
Temporal lobe
___________ actions involve only skeletal muscles
Voluntary
This lobe is responsible for all sensory information, such as heat, cold, pain, etc.
Parietal lobe
The brain controls almost all of the activities of the body such as moving, (1)________, (2)________, (3)___________.
sensing, thinking, memorising
Which activities of the body are controlled by the autonomic nervous system?
Involuntary
What is the function of motor neurons?
carry information from the brain to muscles or glands
The cerebral hemispheres work contralaterally. What does this mean?
Right controls left, left controls right
What is homeostasis?
the body's ability to maintain a stable internal environment when it detects changes in the external environment
The brain is inside and protected by the
skull
What is the space between a dendrite and an axon called?
Synapse
Controls organs when the body is at rest
Parasympathetic
When neurons are gradually "turned off" in the brain, they are unable to successfully send electrical impulses. A person then becomes forgetful with daily tasks, memory, etc. What is this disease called?
Alzheimer's
There are............pairs of spinal nerves
31
myelin sheath surrounds the
axon
What is another name for the cell body?
soma
Another name for "seizure disorder"
Epilelpsy
What is the purpose of the vertebrae?
To protect the spinal cord.
Name 2 examples of memorising
learning the vocabulary, learning the lyrics of a song...
Which section of the brain is concerned with reasoning?
Cerebrum
Which of these disorders occurs when there is a loss of blood flow, and in turn oxygen, to the brain?
Cerebrovascular accident/stroke
what are effectors?
muscles and glands that receive the response and react to the stimuli
This lobe is responsible for decision-making, judgement, impulse control, language, intellect, and personality
Frontal lobe
What 2 systems is the nervous system divided into?
central nervous system and peripheral nervous system
What are the 3 structural parts of a neuron?
Cell body, axon, dendrite
What are the three groups that neurons can be put into?
Sensory neurons, Motor neurons, and Interneurons
What is the general term for the membranes that cover and protect the brain and spinal cord?
Meninges
What type of somatic nerve comes from our skin, eyes, ears, tongue, and nose?
sensory nerves
If you want to play piano , which part of brain will works
cerebellum
What are reflexes?
automatic, involuntary actions that the body does in response to stimuli
This part of the nervous system includes the nerves and extends from the spinal cord to all parts of the body
peripheral nervous system
What structure connects the cerebral hemispheres to each other?
Corpus callosum
What are stimuli?
any changes in the environment that are detected by an organism
What is the function of Sensory Neurons?
carry information from the senses to the brain
Name the fluid which is present in the central space of the brain.
Cerebrospinal fluid
Which division of the autonomic nervous system prepares the body for action in an emergency?
Sympathetic system

1
What is another word for efferent neurons?
Motor
Which section of the brain helps regulate heartbeat and respiration?

Occipital lobe
Responsible for the swallowing, gagging, vomiting, coughing, and sneezing reflexes. What is it ?
medulla oblongata
Chemicals that are used for neuronal communication between brain and body are called what?
Neurotransmitters
Relays information from the central nervous system to skeletal muscles, what is it ?
The somatic Peripheral nervous system
The central nervous system consists of
brain and spinal cord
