Brain Stem: “Old Brain”
Primarily controls automatic functionsMedulla Oblongata, Pons,
Reticular Formation

Medulla Oblongata
Controls heartbeat and breathing

Pons
ASSISTS IN THE COORDINATION OF MOVEMENT
![Page 5: Anatomy and Functions of the Brain](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062222/5681671e550346895ddb9c2a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Reticular Formation
Nerve network that plays an important role in arousal

Thalamus
Sensory switchboard that relays sensory information to the cerebral cortex
![Page 7: Anatomy and Functions of the Brain](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062222/5681671e550346895ddb9c2a/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Cerebellum
Coordinating movement and balance: Sensory input, movement output
![Page 8: Anatomy and Functions of the Brain](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062222/5681671e550346895ddb9c2a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Limbic System
Amygdala, Hypothalamus, Pituitary Gland, Hippocampus

Amygdala
Aggression and fear— “fight or flight”

Hypothalamus
Maintenance system: eating, drinking, temperature. Helps govern the endocrine system
via the pituitary gland
![Page 11: Anatomy and Functions of the Brain](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062222/5681671e550346895ddb9c2a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Hippocampus
Memory--LTM

Pituitary Gland
Master endocrine gland
Controls the release of hormones

Cerebrum
Frontal Lobe, Parietal Lobe, Occipital Lobe, and
Temporal Lobe
![Page 15: Anatomy and Functions of the Brain](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062222/5681671e550346895ddb9c2a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Frontal Lobe/Cortex
Making plans and judgments: higher level thinking
![Page 16: Anatomy and Functions of the Brain](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062222/5681671e550346895ddb9c2a/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Motor Cortex
![Page 17: Anatomy and Functions of the Brain](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062222/5681671e550346895ddb9c2a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Parietal Lobe
Receives sensory input for touch and body position
![Page 18: Anatomy and Functions of the Brain](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062222/5681671e550346895ddb9c2a/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Sensory Cortex
Registers and processes body touch and movement
