Frontal the largest in the front of the brain “executive” functions- problem solving, planning, impulse control, judgment, task timing primary motor cortex- oversees our movement 2. Parietal sit behind frontal lobes primarily contain somatosensory cortex- pain, pleasure, touch, etc. (body sensations) 3. Occipital in the back of the brain visual cortex- processing visual information  4. Temporal on the side of the brain auditory cortex- sense of hearing language- comprehension of language learning and memoryo has two hemisphereso contralateral organization Language- Left side of brain is mostly responsible for language o Broca’s Area In left frontal lobe Controls speech muscles via motor cortexo Wernicke’s area Left temporal lobe Interprets auditory code Important in comprehending and understanding language Endocrine System- Body’s ‘slow’ chemical communication system- Hormones (chemicals) synthesized by a set of glandso Hormones are released into the blood stream after being synthesized- Pituitary glando ‘master glad’- Pineal glando Involved in biological rhythms Sleep/wake cycleo Secretes melatonin- Thyroid glando Growth and metabolism- Adrenal glandso Involved in stress reactiono Epinephrineo Norepinephrineo Cortisol- Pancreaso Insulin and glucagon- Gonadso Male and female reproductive organso Regulate bodily development and maintain reproductive organs in
