Brain Structures as well as Functions Worksheet
Two columns are given below: Brain Structure along with Function(s). Items in
the column, “Brain Structure” will explain an area of the brain, whereas items in
the column titled “Function(s)” will explain skill, the general behavior, and/or
activity of the related brain construction.
Fill in the blank for each statement below, either by listing the brain construction
responsible for the function explained, or by providing the common function (skill,
behavior, and/or activity) of the related brain construction.
Brain Structure
Meninges
Function(s)
The three films within the skull that encloses and
defends your brain. The meninges are made of
the "Pia Mater", the "Arachnoid", and the "Dura
Mater".
Defensive bone surrounding the central nervous
CNS – Skull and Spinal
system.
Cord
Concave areas in the brain crammed with cerebral
Ventricles
spinal fluid (CSF).
The visual dealing out hub of the mammalian brain
Occipital Lobe
containing nearly the entire anatomical visual
cortex area.
The lobe involved in orderliness, inhibition, as well
Frontal Lobe
as planning control.
Temporal Lobe
Parietal Lobe
Lymbic System
The lobe involved in reminiscence, hearing, as
well as language understanding.
This lobe works to combine sensory information to
different parts of the body, for object manipulation,
calculations, as well as for visuospatial
processing.
A “system” (also identified as the piriform lobe or
5th lobe) engaged in intricate sentiment conducts.
Spinal Cord
It controls diffusions of neural inputs between the
brain and the outside edge.
Optic Chiasm
They let the way of information commencing the
optic nerves.
PSY 340
Cerebral Arteries
Corpus Callosum
Cranial Nerves
Hippocampus
Supplies the brain with nourishment (food) and
oxygen.
The main white substance area of dendrites as
well as axons linking both hemispheres of the
brain. It adds information from the two dissimilar
halves of the cerebral cortex, main sensory as well
as motor information.
These 12 formations send and receive motor and
sensory signs between the brain and body.
Involved in damaged by Alzheimer’s disease,
spatial memory, short term memory, and learning.
Treats sensory information and transmits it to the
cerebellum where it is treated more.
It connects the nervous system with the endocrine
system through the pituitary gland. It is
Hypothalamus
accountable for certain metabolic treatments as
well as other functions pertaining to the Autonomic
Nervous System.
“System” separated into two major parts: the
autonomic nervous system and somatic nervous
Autonomic System
system.
Controls essential functions such as blood
Medulla Oblongata
pressure, breathing, and heart rate.
The specific olfactory receptor neurons related to
the olfactory nerve are situated in the olfactory
mucosa of the nasal hollow space. Whilst you
inhale air molecules connect to the olfactory
Olfactory nerve (Cranial mucosa and inspire the olfactory sensors of
Nerve I)
cranial nerve I as well as electrical activity is
transuded to olfactory bulb. Olfactory bulb cells
convey electrical action to other components
of the central nervous system through the
olfactory region.
Latin for “little brain” this arrangement is involved
in movement, balance, and posture.
Cerebellum
Thalamus
Medulla
Anterior Hypothalamus
and Posterior
Hypothalamus
Engages exchanges
Accountable for sustaining crucial body functions,
for instance heart rate and inhalation.
Involved in imaginings and sleep.
PSY 340
between the Cortex and
the Thalamus.
Cerebrospinal Fluid
Cerebral cortex
Neurons
Dendrite
Axon
Neurotransmitters
Soma
Terminal
Liquid which provides cushion, and cheerfulness
to the brain, feeds the brain, emits waste.
It is accountable for the treatments of memory,
thought, and perception and serves like the seat of
problem solving, language, social capabilities, and
advanced motor function.
Cells of the nervous system that transmit
messages via electrochemical signs.
It is a slim, normally branched projection of a
neuron or nerve cell, which steers the electrical
stimulation obtained from new cells to as well as
from the soma, or cell body, of the neuron from
which it throws.
It steers electrical impulses farther away from the
neuron's cell body.
Chemical messenger liberated from the neuron
that are engaged in all kinds of activity/behavior.
It is the cell body of the neuron. It helps to control
related organelles and the nucleus.
They liberate transmitters to convey information to
the subsequent neuron. They create the
transmitters (excluding peptide transmitters) too,
and receive the liberated transmitters back up
after liberating them.
