Autonomic Nervous System
Parasympathetic Nervous System
Craniosacral System
Sympathetic Nervous System
Horizontal-Plane
Coronal (frontal) Plane
Sagittal Plane
Dorsal-Ventral
Anterior-Posterior
Superior-Inferior
The Divisions of the Vertebrate Nervous SystemSpinal cord
Superior colliculus
Ganglion (Dorsal and Ventral Root) Substantia Nigra

Cerebrospinal Fluid
Tegmentum
Subarachnoid Space & Meninges
Hydrocephalus
Question & Concepts
1. Outline the major division of the human nervous system. Be complete.
2. Be able to describe the position of an anatomical body in proper terms. (Planes/Location).
3. What is the role of the spinal cord? How do the dorsal and ventral roots each assist in this role?
4. What is the gray and white matter of the spinal cord? Why is it that the gray matter is mostly found in the
center of the spinal cord, while the white matter is found on the outside?
5. Roughly, what are the functional differences between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems?
What are the anatomical differences between these two independent system systems? What is the primary
chemical substance secreted by the neurons in each system? How does cold medicine work?
6. What are the three major divisions of the vertebrate brain. List and describe the function of the major
structures in each division.
7. Why is a disturbance in the functioning of the medulla usually fatal? Give an example.
8. What is thought to be partly responsible for the progression of Parkinson’s Disease?
9. What set of structures appear related to emotional experience and behavior?
10. How does CSF in the ventricles act to nourish and protect the brain? How does hydrocephalus relate to this
question? How do the subarachnoid space and menninges relate to this issue of protecting the brain?
Cerebral Cortex
Gray matter
White Matter
Corpus Collosum
Laminae
Columns
Sensory Area
PART 2: The Cerebral Cortex
Motor Area
Primary Somatosensory Cortex
Association Area
Central Sulcus
Occipital Lobe
Left/Right Sided Neglect
Frontal Lobe
Kluver-Bucy Syndrome
Parietal Lobe
Motor cortex
Temporal Lobe
Precentral Gyrus
Primary visual Cortex
Prefrontal Cortex
Cortical Blindness
Prefrontal lobotomies
Question & Concepts:
1. What is the importance of the cerebral cortex and can we survive without it?
2. What is the significance of laminae 4 and 5? If neuron exists with in the same column, what will be true?
3. What is the difference in function between sensory and association areas of the brain?
4. What are the 4 major lobes of the cerebral cortex? What is the functional significance of each lobe?
5. Describe the functions of the 4 bands of the primary somatosensory cortex.
6. If the somatosensory areas for the cheeks is large and neck are small, how does these anatomical differences
affect our sensory experiences?
7. What are the primary functions of the temporal lobe area? What does the Kluver-Bucy Syndrome suggest
another role of the temporal lobes may be?
8. What are the 3 parts of the frontal lobe described in class? What is the function of each?
9. What were the hope and reality of the prefrontal lobotomy surgical technique?
