Which part of the brain, located in the front area of the skull, is responsible for the integration of complex sensory and neural functions and the initiation and coordination of voluntary activity?

What is the part of the brain located at the back of the skull in vertebrates, responsible for coordinating and regulating muscular activity, balance, movement, and muscle activity?

Identify the center trunk of the brain that continues downward to form the spinal cord.

Which lobe of the brain is associated with behavior and personality, including planning, voluntary muscle movements, mood, emotions, social interactions, and attention, and is also involved in memory retrieval and storage?

What is the part of the brain where nerve impulses initiate voluntary muscular activity, specifically controlling skeletal muscles that we can move and control?

Which lobe of the brain is responsible for sensing touch, spatial processing, language, and memory?

Where are all received sensory input signals, like touch and taste, sent through neurons to be processed?

Which lobes of the brain are primarily responsible for visual perception and are involved in some forms of visual, short-term memory?

What is the part of the cerebral cortex that receives and processes sensory nerve input from the eyes, responsible for the conscious perception of visual input and the ability to interpret what you see?

What are the pair of nerves that transmit input signals to the brain from the retina at the back of the eye, carrying signals to the optic chiasm?

What is the X-shaped structure formed at the point below the brain where the two optic nerves cross over each other, with signals then transmitted to the visual cortex in the occipital lobes?

Which lobe of the brain is responsible for processing smell and sound, as well as the ability to recognize and understand words and language, and is also involved in visual memory?

What is the part of the temporal lobe that processes auditory input signals, making you conscious of the perception of sound?

What is the structure in the front of the brain responsible for receiving and processing smells, located at the bottom of the brain beneath the frontal lobes?

What are the nerve fibers that connect the olfactory bulbs to the temporal lobes?

Which region of the brain, located below the thalamus, coordinates both the autonomic nervous system and the activity of the pituitary, controlling body temperature, thirst, hunger, and other homeostatic systems, and is involved in sleep and emotional activity?

What are the two masses of gray matter lying between the cerebral hemispheres, relaying sensory information and acting as a center for pain perception?

What is the tiny organ that serves as the primary gland for the body, producing several hormones and activating other glands to produce hormones?
