Chapter 14 - Parts Of The Brain

Question 1

Plays a role in regulating heart rate, in responding to fear and anxiety and controlling the “fight or flight” response by the sympathetic division of the ANS, and in linking emotions with specific memories.

Answer 1

Amygdala

Question 3

Consists of the Left and Right Thalamus and the Hypothalamus

Answer 3

Dicencephalon

Question 4

Processing of visual and auditory data, generation of reflexive somatic motor responses, maintenance of consciousness

Answer 4

Midbrain

Question 5

Directs voluntary movements by controlling somatic motor neurons in the brain stem and spinal cord

Answer 5

Primary motor cortex

Question 6

Has extensive connections with other cortical areas and with other portions of the brain. Feelings of frustration, tension, and anxiety are generated as this region interprets ongoing events and makes predictions about future situations or consequences.

Answer 6

Prefrontal cortex

Question 7

Relays sensory information to cerebellum and thalamus, subconscious somatic and visceral motor centers

Answer 7

Pons

Question 10

Relays sensory information to thalamus and to other portions of the brain stem, autonomic centers for regulation of visceral function (cardiovascular, respiratory, and digestive system activities)

Answer 10

Medulla Oblongata

Question 11

One of the reflex centers of the Medulla Oblongata which sets the basic pace for respiratory movements

Answer 11

Respiratory rhythmicity centers

Question 14

One of the reflex centers of the Medulla Oblongata which adjusts the heart rate, the strength of cardiac contractions, and the flow of blood through peripheral tissues

Answer 14

Cardiovascular centers

Question 15

Involved with the subconscious control of skeletal muscle tone and the coordination of learned movement patterns. Under normal conditions do not initiate particular movements, but once a movement is under way they provide the general pattern and rhythm

Answer 15

Basal nuclei

Question 16

You are aware of sensations only when nuclei in the thalamus relay the information to this area of the brain

Answer 16

Primary sensory cortex

Question 18

Conscious thought processes, intellectual functions, memory storage and processing, conscious and subconscious regulation of skeletal muscle contractions

Answer 18

Cerebrum

Question 20

Important in learning, especially in the storage and retrieval of new long-term memories

Answer 20

Hippocampus

Question 21

Consists of the midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata

Answer 21

Brain Stem

Question 25

Relay and processing centers for sensory information

Answer 25

Thalamus

Question 29

Coordinates complex somatic motor patterns, adjusts output of other somatic motor centers in brain and spinal cord

Answer 29

Cerebellum

Question 30

Centers controlling emotions, autonomic functions, and hormone production

Answer 30

Hypothalamus
