Brain Anatomy: Lobe Labeling Quiz

Brain Lobes and Structures

• Frontal Lobe

  • Located at the front of the brain.
  • Responsible for functions such as decision making, problem-solving, and planning.
  • Involved in voluntary movement and control of behavior and emotions.

• Parietal Lobe

  • Positioned behind the frontal lobe at the top of the brain.
  • Integrates sensory information including touch, temperature, and pain.
  • Plays a role in spatial awareness and navigation.

• Temporal Lobe

  • Found on the sides of the brain, near the temples.
  • Important for processing auditory information and understanding language.
  • Involved in memory formation and emotional responses.

• Brain Stem

  • Connects the brain to the spinal cord.
  • Controls vital functions such as heart rate, breathing, and blood pressure.
  • Composed of the midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata.

• Cerebellum

  • Located under the cerebrum at the back of the brain.
  • Coordinates voluntary movements, balance, and posture.
  • Plays a role in motor learning and timing.

• Occipital Lobe

  • Located at the back of the brain.
  • Primarily responsible for visual processing and interpretation.
  • Contains the primary visual cortex which receives input from the eyes.
