Unit 6 Central NERVOUS SYSTEM

1. Name the 2 DIVISIONS of the Nervous System

• CENTRAL brain and spinal cord

• PERIPHERAL all nerves outside

brain and spinal cord 2 branchesSomatic- nerves that

serve skeletal system and sense organs

Autonomic- serve smooth muscles and heart

2. Terms

• Nerve- bundle of axons wrapped in connective tissue

• Ganglion- cell bodies grouped together outside brain or spinal cord

• Tract- pathway for axons

• Nuclei- mass of cell bodies ( ganglion)

The 3 parts of a neuron

• Dendrite- conduct impulse toward cell body

• Axon- conduct impulse away from cell body

• Cell body

motor sensory

3. 4 Basic Processes of the Nervous System

• Reception- stimuli

• Transmission- Sensory input- from area to brain Afferent

• Integration- sums up input to allow brain to make decision

• Motor output- efferent- cause response

3 TYPES of NEURONS

• Sensory- afferent

• Motor- efferent

• Interneuron- in CNS (brain and spinal cord)

4. 7 Divisions of the Brain

• Brain stem Medulala Oblongata- regulate

heartbeat, breathing, BP Pons- bridge between

Cerebellum and CNS Midbrain- vision, hearing,

touch• Cerebellum- movement• Hypothalmus- hunger, sleep,

thirst• Thalmus- all sensory except

smell• Cerebrum- largest, conscious

thought

LOBES of BRAIN

• FRONTAL- motor (FM)

• TEMPORAL- speech and hearing

(EAR)• PARIETAL- sensory

(PS)• OCCIPITAL- visual

( eyes in back of head)

Misc Brain INFO

• Right side of brain controls left side of body

• Right side of brain- art, music, imagination

• Left side of brain- logic, math, science

• Brain stem is the size of your thumb

5. Spinal Cord

Functions• Reflex• Transmission

• Tube protected by vertebrae and CSF (clear)

CNS Protection

Spinal cord

• Vertebrae• CSF

Brain

• Bones of Skull• CSF• Menninges (grey

matter)

10. Vocab

• Efferent- motor

• Afferent- sensory

• Ganglia- mass of nerve

cells outside CNS

Vocab Continued

• White Matter- covered in Myelin

• Grey Matter- no Myelin

• Meninges- protective covering of brain and spinal cord. Disease- Meningitis

• CSF- cerebrospinal fluid, clear

• CNS- central nervous system
