Label the following areas of the brain on the image below: Occipital Lobe, Parietal Lobe, Frontal Lobe, Temporal Lobe, Cerebellum, Brain Stem Frontal Lobe Parietal Lobe Occipital Lobe Temporal Lobe Cerebellum Brain Stem Label the following areas of the brain: Corpus Callosum, Pons, Midbrain, Medulla, Cerebrum Cerebrum Corpus Callosum Midbrain Pons Medulla Match the areas of the brain with their functions. Corpus Callosum wide band of axon fibers that connect the two hemispheres and allow them to communicate. Cerebral Cortex Folded outer layer of gray matter in the cerebrum of the brain Parietal Lobe Perception & Sensation, Body Orientation, Reading, & Recognition Temporal Lobe Understanding Language (Wernicke's Area), Behavior, Memory, Hearing Occipital Lobe Vision & Color Perception Frontal Lobe Problem Solving Personality, Behavior, Emotion Reasoning (Broca's Area) Cerebellum Balance, equilibrium, coordination Brain Stem Breathing, Heart Rate, Temperature Label the Limbic system using the following terms: Hypothalamus, Thalamus, Hippocampus, Amygdala Thalamus Hypothalamus Amygdala Hippocampus Match the terms with their function. Amygdala Associated with fear and anxiety Hippocampus Associated with memory and learning Hypothalamus homeostasis, controls hormone release, body temp, controlling appetite and sexual behavior Thalamus relays sensory and motor signals, regulates consciousness & alertness Ventricles cavities filled with cerebrospinal fluid Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) flows within and around the brain and spinal cord to help cushion it from injury. Pituitary gland connected to the hypothalamus and controls endocrine glands in the body. Pineal gland helps regulate the body’s internal clock and circadian rhythms by secreting melatonin
