Ap Psychology


2/25

Amygdala

It stores and classifies emotionally charged

memories. Its a large role in producing our emotions. It

triggers responses to strong emotion such as

sweaty palms, freezing, and increased heart-

beat.


3/25

Brain Stem

Underneath the limbic system is the brain stem. Itsresponsible for basic vital life functions such asbreathing, heartbeat, and blood pressure.

The brain stem is made of the midbrain, pons, andmedulla.


4/25

Brocas Area

Broca's area is a region of the hominid brain with link

to control speech, language recognition and facialnerves.


5/25

Cerebellum

It has two hemispheres and has a highly folded

surface. Its associated with regulation andcoordination of movement, posture, and balance.


6/25

Cerebral Cortex

Its a sheet of neural tissue that is outermost to the

cerebrum of the mammalian brain. It controlsmemory, attention, thought, language, and

consciousness.


7/25

Cerebrum

The cerebrum is the largest part of the human brain,

associated with thought and action. The cerebralcortex is divided into four sections, called lobes: the

frontal lobe, parietal lobe, occipital lobe, and

temporal lobe.


8/25

Corpus Callosum

The neural bridge that connects the two

hemispheres to each other, located in the central ofthe brain.


9/25

Frontal Lobe

The Frontal lobe is responsible for functions

such as reasoning, problem solving, judgment,impulse control. It manages our higher emotions.

Its also involved in motor control and memory.


10/25

Hippocampus

The portion of the cerebral hemisphere in the medial

part of the temporal lobe. This part of the brain isimportant for learning and memory.


11/25

Hypothalamus

Is involved in functions including homeostasis,

emotion, thirst, hunger, and control of the autonomicnervous system.


12/25

Medulla

It is responsible for maintaining vital body functions,

such as respiration, digestion and heart rate.


13/25

Occipital Lobe

Is associated with visual sensation and processing.


14/25

Parietal Lobe

Associated with movement, orientation, and

recognition.


15/25

Pituitary Gland

The pituitary gland is involved in growth hormone

production, production of hormones that act on Otherendocrine glands, endocrine function regulation and

storage of hormones.


16/25

Pons

Has roles in your level of consciousness and sleep.

Involved in controlling autonomic body functions.


17/25

Primary Auditory Cortex

Is a region of the brain that processes sound and

contributes to our ability to hear.

Primary MotorCortex

Generates the neural impulses controlling

execution of movement.


19/25

Primary SomatoSensory Cortex

Is the main sensory receptive area for the sensory of

touch.


20/25

Primary visual cortex

The part of the neocortex that receives visual input

from the retina.


21/25

ReticularFormation

A network of nerve fibers and cells in parts of the

brainstem, it regulates consciousness orwakefulness.


22/25

Spinal Cord

It carries information up to the brain and instructions

back down.


23/25

Temporal Lobe

Is involved in sound sensation and also involved in

emotion, memory and speech.


24/25

Thalamus

Most of the sensory signals, sound, Visual, from your

skin and internal organs, go through this organ on

their way to other parts of the brain for processing. It

also functions in motor control.


25/25

Wernickes Area

The region of the brain is important in language

development and is responsible for the

comprehension of speech.
