    SPINAL CORD AND REFLEX ACT Name__________________

    Cross Section of Spinal Cord


    Label the following parts of a spinal cord
    On the cross-section diagram.

    a. white matter
    b. grey matter
    c. dorsal root ganglion
    d. nerve fibers
    e. interneuron
    f. synapse
    g. sensory neuron
    h. motor neuron

    Reflex Act
    Label the following parts of a reflex
    act on the diagram of a boy stepping
    on a tack and jerking his leg away.

    a. sensory neuron
    b. motor neuron
    c. stimulus
    d. spinal cord
    e. receptor (in skin)
    f. effector (muscle)

    Fill in the blanks with the correct answers.

    Suppose you stepped on a tack. You jerked your leg away_____________ you were
    aware of what happened. The impulse traveled from the ___________, the skin, along
    a(an)____________ neuron into the_____________. The impulse jumped across
    a(an)______________ to a(an)________________; then across another synapse to
    a________________ neuron. The impulse traveled along this nerve to a
    muscle,______________, in your leg. You jerked your leg away. Only a fraction of a
    second later, a(an)______________ traveled up your ______________ to your
    _____________. But you had ________________ reacted. This kind of reaction is known
    as a(an)______________. Reflex acts occur without thinking.
    STRUCTURE OF THE BRAIN Name_____________________

    Label the correct parts of the brain and spinal cord on the diagram at the left below. Give
    the purpose/function of each part.

    a. cerebellum___________________________________________________________

    b. medulla oblongata_____________________________________________________
    c. thalamus____________________________________________________________
    d. hypothalamus________________________________________________________
    e. corpus callosum_______________________________________________________
    f. pons________________________________________________________________
    g. spinal cord___________________________________________________________
    h. cerebrum____________________________________________________________
    i. pituitary gland________________________________________________________

    Lobes of the Cerebrum


    The diagram to the right above shows the four major lobes of each hemisphere of the
    cerebrum: frontal, parietal, occipital, and temporal. Label each love. Then, fill in the
    blanks below with the correct answers.

    The __________ lobes control some body movements, reasoning, judgment and
    emotions. The sense of vision is located in the ______________ lobe. The sense of
    hearing is interpreted in the ________________ lobes. The _______________lobes
    interpret sensations such as pain, pressure, touch, hot and cold.
