  1. Glossary Date: Dec4, 2013Page: Table of Contents p 1 W.O.D: Last 5 pagesWarm-ups: Front CoverW.O.D. Cortex - covering. Question: Whatdoesthe cerebral cortexcover?

  2. Today’s Plan • Warm-up • Brain notes • Hemispheres of yourbrain • Reflection

  3. Brain Notes: Please copy these questions onto page 3 of your SNB. What are thethreeanatomicalregions of thebrain? 2. What are thefourlobes of thebrain? Name a function of eachregion. 3. WhatistheCerebral Cortex? 4. Whatis the function of the spinal cord? 5. Nameonefunction of thehypothalamus. 6. Nameonefunction of thepituitarygland.

  4. THE BRAIN • ANATOMICAL REGIONS • Cerebrum • Cerebellum • Brain Stem

  5. CEREBRUM - wrinkly large part of the brain, largest area in humans, higher mental function

  6. CEREBELLUM • Balance and coordination

  7. Brain Stem -  regulates visceral functions (autonomic system)

  8. Figure 13.4

  9. Dura mater is being peeled away in this photo.

  10. Lobes of the Brain (general functions) 5.  Frontal – reasoning, thinking, language 6. Parietal – touch, pain, relation of body parts (somatosensory) 7.  Temporal Lobe – hearing 8.  Occipital – vision

  11. Cerebral Cortex - thin layer of gray matter that is the outermost portion of cerebrum (the part with all the wrinkles)

  12. Optic Tract / Chiasma - optic nerves cross over each other

  13. Spinal Cord passes down the vertebral canal, has 31 segments  (each with a pair of spinal nerves) FUNCTION: conducting nerve impulses, serves as a center for spinal reflexes

  14. Hypothalamus - hormones, heart rate, blood pressure, body temp, hunger. (Thalamus – relay station)

  15. Pituitary Gland The "master gland" of the endocrine system.  It controls hormones.

  16. CNN Video Showing cognitive tasks during brain surgery as a tumor is removed. Natgeo Brain Surgery Video - removal of tumor

  17. Take the Left Brain – Right Brain Test

  18. Corpus callosum

  19. Corpus callosum Thalamus Pineal gland Hypothalamus

  20. Check out these brain images!

  21. Which describes you best?

  22. Reflection: Whichpart of thebrainismost active? • Gray matter(Cerebral Cortex) • White matter (Innerbrain).
