5. COMPLETE BY WRITING THE NAME OF THE BRAIN LOBE THAT CORRESPONDS IN THE PARAGRAPH. NEXT, COLOR THESE
ACCORDING TO THE INDICATIONS.

1. This part of the brain is a lobe found at the front of the brain and controls thínkíng and creating. ___________________________
Color this part of the brain blue.
2. The _________________________ lobe helps us fínd our way and recognize objects and their uses, and experiences sensations
(such as paín, pressure, touch, and temperature). Color this part of the brain green.
3. This part of the brain is alobe found at the back of the head. It is here that messages from the eyes are interpreted.
__________________________ Color this part of the brain red.
4. This lobe is found next to our ears. It helps us hear, plan our speech, and remember. _____________________________
Color this yellow.
5. This part of the brain coordinates our physical skills and balance. _____________________________ Color this part of the brain
orange.
6. This part of the brain connects the rest of the brain to the spinal cord. _________________________ Color this part ofthe brain purple.

6 Write into the charter whether the following parts of the nervous system are part of the Central Nervous System CNS) the Peripheral Nervous
System (PNS). Color with red the parts that correspond to the brain.

7. Write in the box of each sentence the part of the nervous system that performs this function. Take into account the vocabulary of the previous point.

PART FUNCTION
1. It is found inside the skull, contains more than 10 billion neurons. It consists of: brain, thalamus,
hypothalamus, limbic system, protuberance, cerebellum and spinal bulb.
2. It runs along the spine and connects the brain to the rest of the body. It consists of white substance and
gray substance. The white substance has a driving function, while the gray matter is the center of reflex
movements.
3. It is a structure of the brain that is part of the limbic system and whose main functions are the formation of
new memories and the spatial orientation.
4. System constituted of bundles of axons called nerves. It constitutes the link between the central nervous
system and the rest of the body.
5. System constituted by nervous cords located parallel to the vertebral column. It communicates the spinal
cord with the viscera and allows to respond appropriately to the situations of alert or emergency.
6. System that has a recuperating effect: normalizes the internal environment once the dangerous situation
ceases. It also controls the internal organs in everyday conditions.
7. It is the center of coordination of the movement, the reception of the senses, the memory, the mental
capacity, the center of our personality and intelligence.
8. Participates in the control of vital processes such as breathing, digestive processes, circulation, heart
action, dilation and contraction of blood vessels and in vegetative reflexes such as cough, vomiting and
hiccups
9. It controls the execution of fine and coordinated movements such as reading and writing and movements of
the mouth that allow talking. Maintains muscle tone, muscle posture and balance.
10. System formed by nerves that connect the spinal cord and the brain to the tissues of the entire body.
Regulates voluntary motor responses.
11. It allows to preserve the internal balance of the organism and perform functions such as: controlling the
functioning of the pituitary gland, regulating water balance, body temperature and controlling sexual and
affective behavior.
12. System that processes information and elaborates orders. It constitutes the directional center of the whole
organism.

13. Participates in the association of feelings and movements related to emotions. Through it pass all the
sensitive pathways, except the olfactory ones.
14. They are twelve pairs of nerves that are born in different areas of the brain. They connect the peripheral
organs with the brain. Among these we have: sensory nerves (olfactory, optical, auditory), motors and mixed.
15. They are altogether 31 pairs of nerves that are derived from different parts of the spinal cord and are
distributed mainly in the arms, legs and trunk of the spinal cord.
16. Part of the brain that coordinates the muscular movements of both sides of the body as it propagates the
impulses of the sensory and motor nerves from one to the other of the cerebral hemispheres. Through it pass
the sensitive pathways that go from the medulla to the brain and the opposite.
17. Nervous system that provides involuntary control over internal organs.

8. Write in front of the line the part of the nervous system that corresponds.
IX. Find the difference of electronegativity in each of the following links and write if the bond that will be formed will be ionic, covalent
