  2. Overview of Structures, Combining Forms,and Functions of the Nervous System

  3. Divisions of Nervous System • Central nervous system – includes brain andspinal cord • Peripheral nervous system – includes 12 pairsof cranial nerves and 31 pairs of peripheralspinal nerves (continues)

  4. Divisions of Nervous System

  5. The Neurons • Basic cells of nervous system • Carry nerve impulses throughout body • Afferent neurons • Connecting neurons • Efferent neurons (continues)

  6. The Neurons

  7. Brain • Primary Function • Coordinates all activities of the body by receivingand transmitting messages throughout the body • Related Word Parts (Combining Forms) • encephal/o

  8. Major Parts of the Brain • Cerebrum • Thalamus • Hypothalamus • Cerebellum • Brainstem (continues)

  9. Major Parts of the Brain

  10. Cerebrum • Cerebrum – largest and uppermost portionof brain • divided into right and left hemispheres • hemispheres subdivided to create pairs ofcerebral lobes

  11. Cerebral Hemispheres

  12. Cerebral Lobes • Cerebral lobes • frontal lobe: controls skilled motor functions,memory, behavior • pariental lobe: receives and interprets nerveimpulses from sensory receptors in tongue,skin, muscles • occipital lobe: controls eyesight • temporal lobe: controls hearing and smell, andability to create, store, and access new information

  13. Cerebral Lobes

  14. Spinal Cord • Primary Function • Transmits nerve impulses between the brain,limbs, and lower part of the body • Related Word Parts (Combining Forms) • myel/o • Note: Myel/o also means bone marrow.

  15. Nerves • Primary Function • Receive and transmit messages to and from allparts of the body • Related Word Parts (Combining Forms) • neur/i, neur/o

  16. Cranial Nerves

  17. Peripheral Spinal Nerves

  18. Autonomic Nervous System

  19. Sensory Organs and Receptors • Primary Functions • Receive external stimulation and transmit these stimuli to the sensory neurons • Eyes (sight) • Ears (hearing) • Nose (smell) • Skin (touch) • Tongue (taste)

  20. Key Word Parts and Definitions • caus/o • burning, burn • cerebr/o • cerebrum, brain • concuss/o • shaken together, violently agitated • contus/o • bruise (continues)

  21. Key Word Parts and Definitions • encephal/o • brain • -esthesia • sensation, feeling • esthet/o • feeling, nervous sensation, sense of perception • -graphy • the process of producing a picture or record (continues)

  22. Key Word Parts and Definitions • mening/o • membranes, meninges • myel/o • spinal cord, bone marrow • neur/i, neur/o • nerve, nerve tissue • phobia • abnormal fear (continues)

  23. Key Word Parts and Definitions • psych/o • mind • radicul/o • root or nerve root • tropic • having an affinity for

  24. Questions

  27. Question • The human brain is 80-85% water. • True or False?

  28. Answer • True

  29. Question • How much of the oxygen used by the humanbody is utilized by the brain? • over 10% • over 25% • over 50%

  30. Answer • b. Over 25%

  31. Question • The human body transmits nerve impulses atabout 300 feet a second. • True or False?

  32. Answer • True
