The Brain

5. adjustable opening in center of the eye in which light enters
6. this lobe processes visual input
10. this nervous system calms the body
14. damage here causes impaired speaking
15. retinal receptors that detect fine detail
16. located in limbic system, helps process memories
19. this lobe helps with higher level executive functioning like problem solving
21. light-sensitive part of eye that contains rods and cones
23. coiled, bony, fluid-filled tube in inner ear

1. directs eating, drinking, body temperature
2. this lobe processes auditory input
3. this gland regulates growth and other glands
4. this nerve carries neural impulses from the eye to the brain
7. "little brain" at rear of brainstem, coordinates movement and balance
8. this nervous system arouses the body
9. damage here causes impaired understanding
11. the eye's clear outer layer, covering the pupil and iris
12. transparent structure behind the pupil that changes shape to help focus images on the retina
13. two lima-bean sized neural clusters in the limbic system, linked to emotion
17. this lobe receives sensory input for touch and body position
18. this type of nervous system controls the body's skeletal muscles
20. the brain's sensory control center
22. ring of muscle tissue that forms the color portion of the eye
