Brain Structures and Physical Reactions

About:

This printable fill-in-the-blank worksheet covers three brain structures and their functions in processing emotions and triggering physical responses. Content includes the hippocampus (memory and learning), the thalamus (sensory processing), and the hypothalamus (regulating physical reactions). Students learn about the Cannon-Bard theory and how emotions like fear activate hormonal and nervous-system responses. Suitable for health science, anatomy, or psychology units in middle and high school.
