HBS 2.1 Brain Structure & Function

Part of the PNS (peripheral nervous system) that sends impulses to muscles and/or organs is:

• somatic nervous system

• autonomic nervous system

• limbic system

• motor cortex

Transmits and relays electrical impulses:

• autonomic nervous system

• cerebrum

• spinal cord

• sympathetic nervous system

A ridge or fold found on the cerebral surface of the brain:

• sulcus

• fissure

• chiasm

• gyrus

Responsible for blood pressure regulation:

• pons

• amygdala

• medulla oblongata

• midbrain

Used for problem solving:

• Wernicke's area

• parietal lobe

• temporal lobe

• frontal lobe

Regulates breathing

• cerebrum

• brain stem

• cerebellum

• pons

The largest portion of the human brain;

• sensory and motor cortices

• limbic system and brain stem

• frontal and occipital lobes

• cerebrum

Two most primary parts of the human nervous system are:

• limbic and endocrine systems

• central and autonomic nervous systems

• peripheral and central nervous systems

• somatic and autonomic nervous systems

• parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems

Found posterior to the frontal lobe and addresses movement:

• temporal lobe

• motor cortex

• sensory cortex

• occipital lobe

Decision making

• thalamus

• frontal lobe

• Broca's area

• hypothalamus

• parietal lobe
