Somatic or Autonomic
Sensory Integrative Motor
Conducting Nerve Impulses Serving as a Center for spinal reflexes
How it works with other body systems.
Cerebrum Diencephalon Brainstem Cerebellum
2 Hemispheres with corpus callosum 5 nerve centers (Frontal, temporal, parietal, occipital, insula) Cerebral cortex
Interpret sensory impulses, initiate voluntary muscle movements, stores memory Function depends on region; 3 Regions: Motor Sensory Association
Motor Speech Area- mouth, tongue, layrnx = speech Frontal Eye Field- eyes and eyelids (voluntary) Impulse Down brainstem Through spinal cord Synapse Muscle fibers
Sensory Interpret impulses from sensory receptors Parietal lobes Occipital lobes Temporal lobes Association Interpret sensory experiences, oversee memory, reasoning, verbalizing, judgment, emotion Anterior portion Lateral portion General Interpretative area
Thalamus- central relay station Hypothalamus- regulates homeostasis Limbic System- controls emotional experience and expression
Midbrain- connects brainstem and spinal cord, reflex centers Pons- separate midbrain and medulla, relay impulses Medulla Oblongata- everything passes through it Reticular Formation- activates cerebral cortex Choroid Plexuses- secrete cerebrospinal fluid
Superior Peduncles Inferior Peduncles Middle Peduncles
Functions independently Regulates viscera
Sympathetic Energy expending, stressful, or emergency Parasympathetic Ordinary, restful conditions
Touch & Pressure Temperature Pain
Free-Nerve Endings- epithelial tissue Meissner’s Corpuscles- connective tissue (no hair) Pacinian Corpuscles- connective tissue (subcutaneous)
70 °-113°F More=Pain Warm 50 °-68°F Less=Pain Cold *Adapt Rapidly
Protect Adapt Poorly Decreased blood flow accompanied by lower oxygen concentration Viscera
Thin, myelinated Rapid, sharp pain Skin Acute Thin, unmyelinated Slow, Dull ache Deeper Can cause prolonged suffrage Chronic Can cause prolonged suffrage Regulation of pain impulse
Both have their own neuron process Flavor- a combination of what you taste and smell
Multiple Sclerosis- damages the myelin sheath on an axon
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)- Neurodegenerative Disease that effects the neurons in the brain and spinal cord.
