What part of the brain controls reflex centers for vision and hearing?
Brain Function Flashcards
| A | B |
|---|---|
| Midbrain | Mostly made of white matter found between the brain and spinal cord specifically visual and auditory sensations. |
| Corpora Quadrigemina | Reflex centers for vision and hearing (2 pairs of twins) |
| Pons | Mostly white matter that controls breathing reflexes. |
What part of the brain controls reflex center?
Medulla oblongata connects the brain and the spinal cord and forms part of the central nervous system. Its function is important because it houses the centers that control reflex functions such as breathing, digestion, blood flow, blood pressure, coughing, swallowing, etc.
What is the most primal part of the brain?
The limbic system is the major primordial brain network underpinning mood. It’s a network of regions that work together to process and make sense of the world.
Which part of the brain controls breathing and blood circulation?
The brain stem
The brain stem sits beneath your cerebrum in front of your cerebellum. It connects the brain to the spinal cord and controls automatic functions such as breathing, digestion, heart rate and blood pressure.
What is the emotional center of the brain called?
The limbic system is a group of interconnected structures located deep within the brain. It’s the part of the brain that’s responsible for behavioral and emotional responses.
What is the emotional part of the brain called?
Limbic
Amygdala: Limbic structure involved in many brain functions, including emotion, learning and memory. It is part of a system that processes “reflexive” emotions like fear and anxiety.
Which is part of the brain controls vision?
The frontal lobe up front, the parietal lobe on top, the temporal lobe on bottom and the occipital lobe pulling up the rear. All of our senses, thoughts and actions start in one of these lobes. Most visual functions are controlled in the occipital lobe, a small section of the brain near the back of the skull.
Which is part of the brain controls breathing reflexes?
Mostly white matter that controls breathing reflexes. Part of the brain that controls heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, swallowing and gag reflex. Diffuse mass of gray matter along the brain stem that is involved in motor control of smooth muscle and REM sleep.
Which is part of the brain controls speech?
Region of the frontal lobe that controls the muscles of speech. Area of white matter that allows for communication between the right and left hemispheres of the cerebrum. Several regions of the brain that work together to control emotions. Links the concious and unconcious mind.
Which is part of the brain is responsible for hearing and smell?
Part of the cerebrum responsible for visual interpretation. Part of the cerebrum responsible for interpretation of hearing, smell, facial and object recognition. Part of the cerebrum responsible for interpretation of touch sensations.
