W.O.D: Last 5 pages Warm-ups: Front Cover
W.O.D. Cortex - covering.
Question: What does the cerebral cortex cover?
Glossary
Today’s Plan
• Warm-up• Brain notes• Hemispheres of your brain• Reflection
Brain Notes: Please copy these questions onto page 3 of your SNB.
1. What are the three anatomical regions of the brain?
2. What are the four lobes of the brain? Name a function of each region.
3. What is the Cerebral Cortex? 4. What is the function of the spinal cord?
5. Name one function of the hypothalamus.
6. Name one function of the pituitary gland.
THE BRAIN
•ANATOMICAL REGIONS oCerebrumoCerebellumoBrain Stem
CEREBRUM - wrinkly large part of the brain, largest area in humans, higher mental function
CEREBELLUM
•Balance and coordination
Brain Stem - regulates visceral functions (autonomic system)

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
Cerebral Cortex - thin layer of gray matter that is the outermost portion of cerebrum (the part with all the wrinkles)
Optic Tract / Chiasma - optic nerves cross over each other
Spinal Cordpasses 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
Hypothalamus - hormones, heart rate, blood pressure, body temp, hunger.(Thalamus – relay station)
Pituitary Gland
The "master gland" of the endocrine system. It controls hormones.
