Level#1

Mental disabilities are conditions that interfere with a person's ability to think, learn, or speak. Mentally disabled people can be healthy people. They are not mentally ill. Mental disabilities are caused by birth defects. For example, a person may be born mentally retarded. People with mental retardation have a limited ability to learn.

2. What is an example of a mental disability?

3. How does mental retardation affect a person?

Level#2

Mental disabilities are conditions that interfere with a person's ability to think, learn, or speak. Mentally disabled people can be healthy people. They are not mentally ill. Mental disabilities are caused by birth defects. For example, a person may be born mentally retarded. People with mental retardation have a limited ability to learn. Illness or injury can also cause mental disabilities. Strokes or severe head injuries can leave a victim completely paralyzed, unable to speak, think, or learn. Stokes for example, occur when a blood clot prevents blood from reaching the brain. When that happens, the part of the brain that did not receive enough blood is damaged.

Stokes for example, occur when a blood clot prevents blood from reaching the brain. When that happens, the part of the brain that did not receive enough blood is damaged. Another illness that affects the brain is Alzheimer's disease. This disease strikes older people, causing them to become forgetful. Alzheimer's disease weakens and kills brain cells. Over time, the person loses his or her mental powers of reasoning and becomes confused. This is no cure yet for Alzheimer's.

Directions: ANSWER USING COMPLETE SENTENCES! Use the information you have been given to answer questions about: Brain Development and Brain Damage.

Level#1

The human brain begins developing as early as two weeks into a woman's pregnancy. It begins as a tube made of nerve cells. By about the fifth week of pregnancy, this tube of cells has become bigger, rounder, and more complex. It eventually turns into a small brain. As the fetus, or unborn baby, develops, the brain continues to grow and develop. The brain is considered fully formed by about the fourth month of pregnancy. Any harmful substances that the mother takes into her body can damage the developing brain of the fetus.

1. What happens as the fetus, or unborn baby develops?

2. When is the brain considered to be fully formed?

3. Why is it important for a mother to be careful about what she takes in during her pregnancy?

 Level#2

The human brain begins developing as early as two weeks into a woman's pregnancy. It begins as a tube made of nerve cells. By about the fifth week of pregnancy, this tube of cells has become bigger, rounder, and more complex. It eventually turns into a small brain. As the fetus, or unborn baby, develops, the brain continues to grow and develop. The brain is considered fully formed by about the fourth month of pregnancy. Any harmful substances that the mother takes into her body can damage the developing brain of the fetus. Because the brain controls so many functions, damage to the brain can cause serious health problems. Brain damage can impair many human functions, such as motor skills, muscle control, speech, and powers of reasoning, learning, and thinking.

1. Why is it important that a mother be careful about what she takes in during her pregnancy?

2. Why is damage to the brain such a serious problem for a person to have?

3. What problems can brain damage cause a person to experience?

Because the brain controls so many functions, damage to the brain can cause serious health problems. Brain damage can impair many human functions, such as motor skills, muscle control, speech, and powers of reasoning, learning, and thinking. When young people suffer brain damage, it is usually due to accidents. Brain tumors and infectious diseases can also be very damaging or even deadly. Not all tumors are cancerous. Tumors that are cancerous can sometimes be treated with surgery and drugs. Meningitis and chorea are two infectious diseases that attack the brain.

1. Explain why brain damage is such a serious problem for a person and what problems it can cause a person to experience.

2. Explain what can cause brain damage in a young person.

3. Explain what can be very damaging or deadly to the brain and what two infectious diseases are known to attack the brain.

Level#1

The human brain is not a simple thing to understand. Scientists and doctors admit there is still much to learn about the brain. What they do know is that the human brain has a lot to do with mental health. The brain has three main parts: The cerebellum, the brain stem, and the cerebrum. Each part is responsible for different functions. The cerebellum controls the way your muscles work together. The brain stem includes the medulla. The medulla is the message center of the brain. All messages going to and from the body pass through the medulla. The cerebrum is the largest part of the human brain. The cerebrum enables you to learn, remember, reason, speak, and write.

1. What do scientists and doctors know about the human brain?

2. What does your cerebellum do?

3. How many parts does the brain have and what are they?

What they do know is that the human brain has a lot to do with mental health. The brain has three main parts: The cerebellum, the brain stem, and the cerebrum. Each part is responsible for different functions. The cerebellum controls the way your muscles work together. Without the cerebellum, you would not be able to coordinate any of your body's movements. The brain stem includes the medulla. The medulla is the message center of the brain. All messages going to and from the body pass through the medulla. Some of these messages are from your five senses. The medulla also controls your breathing, heartbeat, and digestion. The cerebrum is the largest part of the human brain. The cerebrum enables you to learn, remember, reason, speak, and write. The cerebrum is the "thinking" part of the brain.

1. What does the cerebellum do and why is it important that it does do it?





2. Where do all messages going to and from the body go through and why else is the medulla important?

3. What are the three parts of the brain and why is each part different?

Some of these messages are from your five senses. The medulla also controls your breathing, heartbeat, and digestion. It controls all those bodily functions you do not have to think about. The cerebrum is the largest part of the human brain. The cerebrum enables you to learn, remember, reason, speak, and write. The cerebrum is the "thinking" part of the brain. When people talk about the mind and mental health, they are usually talking about the cerebrum and the activities it controls.

1. Explain what the brain stem includes, and what the medulla is and what it does.

2. Explain about the size of the cerebrum and what it enables you to do.
