"Cheat Sheet"

If I were to have an open note brain test this would be my "cheat sheet".

Cheet Sheet:

Parts of the Brain:
Cerebeum: Where the thinking happens and where the 4 lobes of the brain are.
Cerebellum: Balance, and works with voluntary muscles.
Medulla Olongata: Controls movements in the face and neck.
Thalmus: Emotional responses, transfers information from the body to specific parts of the brain.
Hypothalamus: signal, hunger and thirst.
Corpus Callosum: Connects the sides of the brain, dominant hand learning.
Pons: Bridge for signals.
Spinal Cord: Holds nerves except for the head, reflexes, motor skills.
Pituitary Gland: Produces and releases hormones.

Lobes of the Brain:
Frontal: Controls smell, thinking, and emotions.
Parrietal: Controls taste, touch, and movement.
Occipital: Controls vision.
Temporal: Controls hearing, emotion, and memory.

Parts of a Neuron:
Axon: Carries impulses away from the cell body.
Dendrites: Carries impulses to the cell body.
Synapse: Space between two neurons.
Mylin Sheath: Insulation for the Axon.

Nervous System:
Central Nervous System (CNS): Inside the brain and spinal cord.
Peripheral Nervous System(PNS): Outside the brain and spinal cord.

Other Parts of the Brain:
Hemespheres: The right and left sides of the brain (2).
Hippocampus: Learning and memory.
Sulci: Grooves in the brain.
Gyri: Bumps on the brain.
Gray Matter: Neuron cell bodies.
White Matter: Axons and dentrites.
Brain Stem: Controls involuntary functions your body needs to survive.

Random Facts About the Brain

The brain is 85% water.
The Cerebum makes up 85% of your brain*.
There are NO pain receptors in the brain.
You have 100,000 mile of blood vessels in the brain.

*You can also find this fact in the 5 Main Parts of the Brain.

More Parts of the Brain

• Hemisphers: The right and left sides of the brain.
• Sulci: Groves on the brain.
• Gyri: Bumps on the brain.
• Grey Matter: Neuron cell bodies.
• White Matter: Axons and dendrites.

Parts of a Neuron

• Dendrites: Carry impulses TO the cell body.
• Axon: Carries impulses AWAY FROM the cell body.
• Cell Body: Self Explanatory.
• Nucleus: Self Explanatory.
• Synpase: The space between two neurons.

Nervous Systems

• Central Nervous System (CNS): Made up of the brain and spinal cord.
• Peripheral Nervous System (PNS): Outside of the brain and spinal cord.
