The “big portion of the brain” that the narrator highlights first is the __1__. This area is responsible for higher mental functions.
Notice that there are visible folds (“bumps and grooves”) on this structure. Each elevated bump is called a __2_ while each shallow groove is called a __3_.
Located at the “back of the brain” is the __4_____. In the longitudinal cut you are looking at, you’ll notice that it has an internal, tree-like pattern called arbor vitae. This part of the brain coordinates equilibrium and motor activity to produce smooth, controlled movements.
The brain stem connects the brain to the spinal cord. It kind of looks like a tail coming out the back. It includes three parts including the posterior-most _5__, the bulb-like _6__ and anterior-most _7__. This region of the brain contains centers for breathing and heart rate. It also serves as a relay station for nerve impulses traveling between the brain and the spinal cord.
As our narrator moves…

- John accompanied his wife Stacy to the clinic today seeking a walk-in appointment. He explains that STacy slipped and fell on some ice while walking to her car last night. John informs you that aside from a some cuts and bruises on her body, her "arm socket" is really hurting her. He states that "she may need an X-ray" and some "drugs" to help her with the pain. You notice that Stacy is consistently looking away from you as her husband talks. She seems very tense and axious. You make the decision, after looking at the schedule, that stacy can be seen in about 20 minutes. You inform John and Stacy and ask them to take a seat in the waiting room. You are going to perform necessary triage and vital signs on Stacy and call her name in the waiting room. John immediately stands up tp escort Stacy. You inform John that there is limited space in the triage area for him to accompany Stacy and will bring stacy back to the waiting room after you obtain vitals and gather other basic information.…arrow_forwardFor each statement about the anatomy of the spinal cord, determine whether it is True or False.
