| 4968166029 | brain stem | controls blood pressure, breathing, and heart rate in the medulla (3pts: medulla, pons, midbrain) | 0 | |
| 4968166030 | pons | regulates breathing and respiratory rhthyms; involved in motor control, posture, balance | 1 | |
| 4968166031 | cerebellum | regulates motor behavior, particularly automatic movements | 2 | |
| 4968166033 | lateral ventricles | fluid-filled spaces that help cushion the brain; when enlarged shows sign of psychiatric disorders | 3 | |
| 4968166036 | fourth ventricle | -passageway within the pons that receives cerebrospinal fluid from the third ventricle -releases cerebrospinal fluid to surround the brain and spinal cord | 4 | |
| 4968166037 | pituitary gland | Endocrine gland attached to the base of the brain that secretes hormones that affect the function of other glands as well as hormones that act directly on physical processes. | 5 | |
| 4968166048 | medulla | Base of brainstem; controls heartbeat and breathing | 6 | |
| 4968166050 | thalamus | A Subcortical structure that relays and filters information from the senses and transmits the information to the cerebral cortex. | 7 | |
| 4968166053 | corpus callosum | A thick band of axons that connects the two cerebral hemispheres and acts as a communication link between them. | 8 | |
| 4968166059 | basal ganglia | Large clusters of neurons, located above the thalamus and under the cerebral cortex, that work with the cerebellum and the cerebral cortex to control and coordinate voluntary movements. | 9 | |
| 4968166060 | Broca's area | controls language expression-area of the frontal lobe in left hemisphere that directs muscle movements invloved in speech | 10 | |
| 4968166061 | frontal lobe | Largest and longest lobe in each hemisphere. Located in the upper forward half. Association areas are involved with planning, problem-solving, personality, decision making, controlling emotions and speech production | 11 | |
| 4968166062 | reticular formation | A netlike collection of cells throughout the midbrain that controls general body arousal and the ability to focus attention. | 12 | |
| 4968166064 | hippocampus | A neural center located in the limbic system that helps process explicit memories for storage. | 13 | |
| 4968166065 | wernicke's area | A specialised area in the left temporal lobe which is involved with comprehending the sounds of human speech | 14 | |
| 4968166066 | amygdala | A limbic system structure involved in memory and emotion, particularly fear and aggression. | 15 | |
| 4968166068 | occipital lobe | A region of the cerebral cortex that processes visual information | 16 | |
| 4968166069 | parietal lobe | Portion of the cerebral cortex lying at the top of the head and toward the rear; receives sensory input for touch and body position | 17 | |
| 4968166070 | temporal lobe | Located bottom of both cerebral hemispheres; Auditory reception and interpretation, expressed behavior, receptive speech, information retrieval | 18 | |
| 5007196838 | sensory cortex | Thin vertical strip of the cerebral cortex that receives incoming touch sensations from the rest of the body. | 19 |
