Study Notes
Olfactory Bulb
- Responsible for the sense of smell, processing odor information from the environment.
Pituitary Gland
- An endocrine gland regulated by the hypothalamus, it releases hormones influencing growth, metabolism, and reproduction.
Mammillary Bodies
- Small structures involved in memory recall and processing, playing a part in the limbic system.
Frontal Lobe
- Associated with reasoning, planning, problem-solving, emotions, and voluntary motor functions.
Temporal Lobe
- Involved in processing auditory information and is crucial for understanding language, as well as memory formation.
Pons
- A structure in the brainstem that connects upper and lower parts of the brain, important for regulating sleep and arousal.
Medulla Oblongata
- Functions as the center for autonomic control, managing heart rate, breathing, and various subconscious reflexes.
Optic Chiasma
- The point where optic nerves from each eye intersect and partially cross, which aids in visual processing.
Cerebellum
- Plays a crucial role in coordination, balance, and fine motor control, integrating sensory information to maintain posture and motor learning.
