The Nervous System
S
Organization of the Nervous
System
S
The nervous system is broken up
into the central and peripheral
nervous system
S
The central nervous system is
made up of the brain and spinal
cord
Organization of the Nervous
System
S
The peripheral nervous system is
made up of everything to the
periphery of the body including
nerves
Autonomic Nervous System
S
The autonomic nervous system is
part of the peripheral nervous
system
S
It consists of the sympathetic
and parasympathetic divisions
Somatic Nervous System
S
The somatic nervous system is also
a part of the peripheral nervous
system
S
It consists of motor and sensory
nerves.
S
The motor nerves control
voluntary movements of the
skeletal muscles
S
The sensory nerves innervate
things like taste, touch, smell,
vision, and reflexes.
Concept Map
Brain Anatomy
Cerebellum
Lobes of the Cerebral
Hemispheres
S Frontal lobes: complex planning, motor functions, reasoning,
judgment, impulse control, higher order functions
S
Parietal lobes: pain and touch sensation, spatial orientation,
object recognition
S Temporal lobes: language and speech
S Occipital lobes: vision
S Cerebellum: balance, posture, and movement (not a lobe…)
Interior Cross-Section
Cerebrum
Pituitary gland
Corpus callosum
Hypothalamus
Midbrain
Thalamus
Pons
Medulla oblongata
Cerebellum
Interior Functions
S Corpus callosum: connects the right and the left cerebral hemispheres
S Thalamus: sensory relay station; receives auditory, visual, and
somatosensory signals
S Pituitary Gland: produces, stores, and regulates hormones
S Midbrain: movement related to vision and audition
S Pons: arousal, sleep
S Medulla oblongata: respiration rate, blood pressure, digestion
Limbic System
Limbic System Functions
S Hippocampus: memory, spatial orientation
S Amygdala: emotions, fear, aggression
S Hypothalamus: hunger, thirst, homeostasis, sexual arousal
General Functions
S Right hemisphere: facial recognition, music, creativity,
intuition
S Left hemisphere: language, logic, critical thinking, numbers,
reasoning
S Broca’s area: speech production
S Wernicke’s area: speech comprehension
S Limbic System: emotions and memory
Somatosensory Cortex
S
The “little man” is called the
homunculus
S
It is located in the
somatosensory cortex
S
The cortex is part of the parietal
lobes
S
It controls touch sensation and
pain
