walking, talking, and even playing sports.
________F(Frontal Lobe)________3.Temporal
Lobe - is the front-most part of your brain. It's
responsible for control over many abilities,
including the way you think, how you move and
how you remember things.

_______T_________4. Parietal Lobe - is

primarily responsible for receiving and processing
sensory input such as touch, pressure, heat, cold,
and pain.

___F(Temporal)_____________5.Occipital
Lobe - is a pair of areas on your brain's left and
right sides. They are most commonly associated
with processing auditory information, storing,
retrieving memories, and understanding language.

_________T______6.Corpus Callosum - is a
large white matter tract that connects the two
hemisphere of the brain.

________T______7. Optic Nerve - is the second

cranial nerve responsible for transmitting visual
information from the retina to the brain. It plays a key
 role in vision, carrying signals that form images from
the eye to the visual processing areas in the brain.

___T______8.Trochlear Nerve - it enables

movement in the eye's superior oblique
muscle. This makes it possible to look down.
The nerve also enables you to move your eyes
toward your nose or away from it.
