Question

name roseanh faberia date 9/23 period parts of the brain label the 3 main sections of the brain. (1 point each) below: write the part of the brain that each scenario represents. include (1 of the three sections of the brain, and their individual parts. (example: the forebrain - cerebrum) 4. christy is slowly developing an impairment in her ability to perform finely coordinated movements, such as cutting garlic into very small pieces. what part of the brain will doctors find the problem? 5. alejandro was in a car accident and can no longer control his own heart rate or breathing. what did alejandro probably damage? 6. after a skateboarding accident, nikka was left with brain damage. now nikka has trouble judging the emotions of others, even when she can see their facial expressions. what did nikka most likely damage? 7. after a freak canoe accident, the barry hippocampus was lost at sea. barry has recovered in all respects, except for one thing. what is the new guy having problems with? 8. after an evil scientist destroys part of bryces huge brain, bryce finds that he is always hungry and he eats much tons than before. what did the scientist destroy? 9. one moment dylan is happy, the next moment she feels sad. first she is angry, and then appalled. what is probably wrong with dylan? 10. when cade was tackled during a football game, he hit the back of his head on the ground, which resulted in a concussion. cade now has trouble with his vision. cade probably injured his lobe. 11. veronica bent over in her garden to pick strawberries but bumped her head on a bush and passed out. when she regained consciousness, she could not let go of the strawberries in her left hand; the hand would not open or close. she most likely injured cells in her 12. luke is learning to play the piano. recent research suggests that the organization of lukes somatosensory cortex may change to allow more neurons there to respond to touch. which lobe of lukes cerebral cortex contains the somatosensory cortex? 13. a jeweler is repairing a plastic chain with very tiny links. the jewelers would be very important in her ability to do this repair. 14. damage to which part of the brain would have the least effect on a bernies ability to juggle?

Explanation:

1. Fine - coordinated movements are controlled by the cerebellum in the hindbrain.
2. Heart rate and breathing are regulated by the medulla in the hindbrain.
3. Judging emotions is related to the amygdala in the forebrain.
4. The hippocampus is related to memory, so Barry has memory problems.
5. The hypothalamus in the forebrain regulates hunger.
6. Mood swings can be related to the limbic system in the forebrain.
7. Vision problems often result from damage to the occipital lobe in the forebrain.
8. Inability to control hand movement may be due to damage to the motor cortex in the frontal lobe.
9. The somatosensory cortex is in the parietal lobe.
10. Fine - motor skills and hand - eye coordination involve the cerebellum.
11. The cerebrum's frontal lobe would have the least impact on juggling compared to the cerebellum which is crucial for coordination.

Answer:

1. Hind Brain, Cerebellum
2. Hind Brain, Medulla
3. Forebrain, Amygdala
4. Memory
5. Forebrain, Hypothalamus
6. Forebrain, Limbic System
7. Forebrain, Occipital
8. Forebrain, Frontal Lobe (Motor Cortex)
9. Forebrain, Parietal Lobe
10. Hind Brain, Cerebellum
11. Forebrain, Frontal Lobe
