Structures of the central nervous system: BRAIN Cerebrum Divided into two hemispheres (right and left) Frontal lobe Occipital lobe Parietal lobe Temporal lobe 3.01 Remember the structures of the nervous system

Structures of the central nervous system: BRAIN Diencephalon Located between the cerebrum and the midbrain Structures Thalamus Hypothalamus Pineal body Pituitary gland 3.01 Remember the structures of the nervous system

Structures of the central nervous system: BRAIN Diencephalon Thalamus – spherical mass of gray matter; deep in the cerebral hemispheres Hypothalamus – lies below the thalamus; part of the limbic system Pineal body – endocrine system gland Pituitary gland – endocrine system gland 3.01 Remember the structures of the nervous system

Structures of the central nervous system: BRAIN Limbic system Located in the center of the brain Encircles the top of the brain stem. Composed of the amygdala, hippocampus, cingulated gyrus, and other intricate structures. (Informational only for reference.) 3.01 Remember the structures of the nervous system

Structures of the central nervous system Motor system Autonomic nervous system Sympathetic nervous system Parasympathetic nervous system Somatic nervous system 3.01 Remember the structures of the nervous system

Structures of the central nervous system Autonomic nervous system Sympathetic nervous system Extends from the base of the brain, along both sides of the spinal column These nerves connect to all internal organs Parasympathetic nervous system The vagus nerve connects the medulla with organs of the upper body The pelvic nerve emerges from the spinal cord and connects with the organs of the lower body 3.01 Remember the structures of the nervous system

Structures of the central nervous system Somatic nervous system These nerves are located along the spinal cord. Connect skeleton, muscles and joints to the brain. 3.01 Remember the structures of the nervous system
