  1. Cerebrum Ch. 14-3

  2. Cerebrum • “seat of intelligence” • Ability to read, write and speak • Ability to make calculations and compose music • Ability to remember the past, plan for the future, and imagine things that never existed before

  3. Cerebral Structures • Cerebral hemispheres – right and left side • Folds – convolutions • Deepest grooves – fissures • Shallow grooves – sulci • Longitudinal fissure – separates cerebrum into right and left hemispheres • Corpus callosum – connects hemispheres

  4. Cerebral Structures

  5. Cerebral Structures • Lobes – separated by central sulcus • Frontal • Parietal • Temporal • Occipital

  6. Cerebral Lobes • Frontal – thinking, reasoning, language • Parietal – touch, pain, relation of body parts • Temporal – hearing • Occipital – vision

  7. Cerebral Cortex Functions • Motor Areas • Controls voluntary movements • Right side controls left side of body • Has Broca’s area (speech)

  8. Cerebral Cortex Functions • Sensory Areas • Involved in feelings and sensations • Visual, auditory, smell, touch, taste

  9. Cerebral Cortex Functions • Association or integration areas • Higher levels of thinking, interpreting, and analyzing information

  10. Sensory Areas of Cerebral Cortex
