A. Broca’s area
B. Wernicke’s area
C. Hippocampus
D. Thalamus

A. Pons
B. Midbrain
C. Medulla oblongata
D. Frontal lobe
Lobe of the cerebrum responsible for vision. Most posterior lobe.
A. Frontal
B. Temporal
C. Occipital
D. Parietal
Inferior to the cerebrum, made up of the midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata.
A. Brain stem
B. Cerebrum
C. Cerebellum
D. Spinal cord
Part of the frontal lobe responsible for speech production. Anterior to the motor cortex.
A. Broca’s area
B. Wernicke’s area
C. Amygdala
D. Hippocampus
Responsible for feelings of hunger and thirst, regulates heart rate, and maintains stable body temperature.
A. Hypothalamus
B. Parietal lobe
C. Olfactory bulbs
D. Sensory cortex
Part of the brain stem responsible for eye movement and auditory and visual processing.
A. Pons
B. Medulla oblongata
C. Midbrain
D. Thalamus
Responsible for emotional responses, especially those related to survival, as well as long term memory. Made up of the amygdala, the hippocampus, and the hypothalamus.
A. The limbic system
B. The midbrain
C. The cerebrum
D. The cerebellum
Part of the parietal lobe responsible for coordinating and processing information about touch, pain, and temperature. Posterior to the motor cortex.

B. Wernicke’s area
C. Pons
D. Cerebellum
Part of the frontal lobe responsible for coordinating and controlling voluntary movements.
A. Wernicke’s area
B. Broca’s area
C. Motor cortex
D. Sensory cortex
Lobe of the cerebrum responsible for receiving and interpreting sensory information. Posterior to the frontal lobe.
A. Parietal lobe
B. Temporal lobe
C. Occipital lobe
D. Brain stem
Responsible for your sense of smell. Located inferior to the frontal lobe and anterior to the temporal lobe.
A. Olfactory bulbs
B. Hypothalamus
C. Occipital lobe

Part of the cerebrum responsible for reasoning, logic, facial movement, and “higher level thinking.”
A. Frontal lobe
B. Parietal lobe
C. Temporal lobe
D. Occipital lobe
Responsible for relaying information from sense receptors to the parietal lobe, maintains consciousness and alertness.
A. Hypothalamus
B. Thalamus
C. Hippocampus
D. Amygdala
Part of the limbic system responsible for feelings of happiness and the “fight or flight” response.
A. Amygdala
B. Hypothalamus
C. Hippocampus
D. Motor cortex
Located deep in the temporal lobe; responsible for memory and learning.
