Station 2: The Brain
1. Using the cue cards provided match the terms with the appropriate
structures on the diagram below.
Be sure you can locate the structures on the model provided.
2. Referring to the brain areas on the cue cards, match the appropriate brain
structures with the following descriptions.
a)
Site of regulation of water balance, body temperature,
rage and pain centers. __hypothalamus____
b)
Reflex centers involved in regulating respiratory rhythm in
conjunction with lower brain stem centers. ___pons___
c)
Responsible for the regulation of posture and coordination of
skeletal muscle movements. ____cerebellum_______
d)
Contains autonomic centers that regulate blood pressure and
respiratory rhythm as well as coughing and
sneezing centers. __medulla oblongata___

Station 3
Functional Areas of the Cerebral Cortex
Part A: Sensory Areas
Complete the chart below. (Use pages 443-745 for help)
Sensory Area
1. primary somatosensory area
Function
- perception of pain, temp, light, touch taste,
spatial discrimination
2. primary visual area
- receive info from contralateral retina
3. primary auditory area
- receives sound and evaluates pitch, rhythm
and loudness
4. primary gustatory area
- taste
5. primary olfactory area
- smell
Identify the sensory areas of the cortex on the diagram below.
See diagram book
Part B: Motor Areas
Complete the chart below. (Use pages 443-745 for help)
Motor Area
1. primary motor area
Function
- voluntary control of skeletal muscles
2. Broca’s area
- motor speech (coordinating tongue, lips
and throat)
Identify the motor areas of the cortex on the diagram below.
See diagram book
Part C: Association Areas
Complete the chart below. (Use pages 443-745 for help)
Association Area
Function
1. somatosensory association area - interpret and integrate sensations
- stores past sensory experience memories
2. visual association area
- interprets visual stimuli from past
experience (ie. recognizes faces)
3. auditory association area
(Wernicke’s area)
- perception/identifying sound from past
memory
4. common integrative area
- integrate all senses into single thought
5. frontal eye fields
- controls voluntary scanning movements of
the eye
6. premotor area
- causes groups of muscles to contract in
sequence
- memory bank for skilled movement
Identify the association areas of the cortex on the diagram below.
See diagram book

lines using the choices provided on the cue cards.
