4. List important organs within the system:
- Brain
- Brain Stem
- Spinal Cord
- Neurons
5. Explain what functions of the 4 main lobes of the brain:
Frontal Lobe - Located in front of the central sulcus. Concerned with reasoning, planning, parts of speech and movement, emotions and problem solving.
Parietal Lobe - Located behind the central sulcus. Concerned with perception of stimuli related to touch, pressure, temperature and pain.
Temporal Lobe - Located below the lateral fissure. Concerned with perception and recognition of auditory stimuli (hearing) and memory.
Occipital Lobe - Located at the back of the brain, behind the parietal lobe and temporal lobe. Concerned with many aspects of vision.
