Runs all aspects of the body Voluntary Involuntary Reasoning Intelligence Communication Divided up into 3 parts Cerebrum Cerebellum Brain Stem General Information
Cerebrum • General Reasoning • “Identifies” the person • “Soul?”
Function • Senses • Motor Skills • Emotions • Consciousness • Memory • Divided into 4 Lobes by 3 fissures/sulcus
Frontal Lobes • Speech • Sexual behavior • Voluntary motor skills • Smell • Reasoning/Abstract Thinking • Body imaging • Aggression
Parietal Lobe • Sensory Awareness • Taste • Symbols • Abstract Reasoning (Math)
Temporal • Auditory • Emotions • Language • Major Memory
Occipital • Visual • Memory
Fissures & Sulcus • Longitudinal Fissure • Separates two hemispheres • Central Sulcus • Separates the frontal from the parietal lobe • Lateral Fissure • Separates the temporal from the frontal & Parietal
Cerebellum • Movement • Muscle actions • Voluntary & Involuntary
Functions • Equilibrium • Position • Muscular coordination • Fine Motor Movements • Muscle Tone • Posture
Brain Stem Function • Basic Body Functions • Involuntary Control
Brain Stem Divisions • Thalamus • Hypothalamus • Pineal Gland • Mid Brain • Pons • Medulla
Thalamus • Processes Sensory Impulses • Appropriate Motor Responses to Sensory Impulse • Consciousness • Sensory Relay station to Cerebral Cortex
Hypothalamus • Emotions • Autonomic Reactions to Emotions (Primitive Brain) • Body Temperature • Water Balance • Appetite • Sexual Arrousal
Pineal Gland • Produces melatonin • Diurnal cycles (Day & Night) • Influences the start of puberty
Mid Brain • Involuntary movements in response to visual and auditory stimuli (reflex)
Pons • Respiration • Somatic and Visceral Reflexes • Regulates arousal, wakefulness, alertness
Medulla • Respiration • Heart Rate • Vasomotor functions • 2-way communication between higher brain functions and spinal cord • Voluntary movement related
