Concept explainers
To review:
The following terms are to be matched with their correct definitions/descriptions.
The terms are as follows:
Insula
Occipital lobe
Cerebral cortex
Cerebral white matter
Parietal lobe
Basal nuclei
The definitions/descriptions are as follows:
Outer few millimeters of gray matter of the cerebral hemispheres.
Cerebral lobe deep to the frontal, parietal, and temporal lobes.
Clusters of gray matter within the cerebrum that control movement.
Posterior cerebral lobe.
Groups of myelinated axons that connect regions of the cerebrum and other parts of the brain.
Middle and superior cerebral lobe.
Introduction:
In an organism, their movement is coordinated by a network of nerve cells and nerve fibers. The organ system responsible for it is the nervous system. The central nervous system (CNS) is a classification of the nervous system. The major components of the CNS are the brain and the spinal cord.

Damage to the left hemisphere was the primary effect. Considering the lobes of the brain and lateralization, answer the following questions: 1. Is there a difference between the areas and/or lobes of the cerebrum considering function? 2. Would speech be affected with damage to the left hemisphere? Why or why not. Be sure to detail your answer. 3. Describe the arterial supply of the cerebrum. Which blood vessel might be the culprit in the damage to the left hemisphere ?arrow_forward
