Brain Anatomy

3. - carries info from one side of the brain to the other
4. - the second largest part of the brain
6. - largest part of the brain
8. Lobe - related to vision
11. Gland - produces Melatonin
12. Stem - Is located between the cerebrum and the spinal cord
13. Rhythm - sleeping Pattern
14. Area - allows you to comprehend speech and put words together in correct syntax when speaking
15. Area - connected to wernicke’s Area
17. Nuclei - islands of gray matter
18. Plexus - clusters of capillaries in ventricles and secrete CSF
21. - relays sensory impulses to the cerebral cortex for processing and sorting
23. - contains the thalamus, the Hypothalamus, and pineal gland

1. Horns - receive impulses from afferent nerves.
2. Lobe - Maintains focus
3. Cortex - larger in humans
5. Oblongata - located just above the spinal cord
7. Barrier - controls homeostasis for the brain and prevents infection
9. - made up of brain and Spinal cord
10. - the 3 layers of connective tissue that protects the CNS.
13. Fluid - between arachnoid layer and pia mater
16. Lobe - important for solving problems, reflect, engage in convo, allows us to move parts of our body at will
19. Formation - complex network of nerve fibers that connects tiny islands of gray matter in the brain.
20. - nerve cell damage in the brain causing dopamine levels to decrease
22. - programmed responses
