1. Nervous System Overview
2. Divided into Two Parts: Central (CNS)
Peripheral (PNS)
3. Central Nervous System Brain
Spinal cord
5. Brain Cerebrum
Cerebellum
Brain stem
6. Cerebrum Cerebral Cortex Coordinates
Thinking and learning
Creativity
Five senses
Memory and emotion
Problem-solving
Decisions
8. Hippocampus Stores and processes memories
Helps find memories
Affects emotions
9. Cerebellum Coordinates
Most muscles
Movement
Learned skills
10. Cerebellum Receives messages from most of the muscles in your body
Communicates with the other parts of the brain
Sends messages about movement and balance back to your body
11. Brain Stem Coordinates
Heartbeat
Breathing
Digestion
Swallowing
Blinking
12. Spinal Cord Bundle of nerves that carries messages between the brain and the rest of the body.
Long tube of nerve tissue running from the brain down the length of the back inside of the spine
15. Peripheral Nervous System Somatic NS
Sensory nerves
Motor nerves
Messages between brain and body
CONTROLS VOLUNTARY MUSCLES
Autonomic NS
Controls organs and some muscles
CONTROLS INVOLUNTARY MUSCLES
16. NeuronsNerve Cells Parts
Soma
Dendrites
Axon
Carry messages
Called impulses
17. Synapse Small space across which an impulse moves from an axon to the dendrites or cell body of another neuron
19. Stimulus-Response Stimulus (stimuli)
Anything that the body can react or respond to
May be internal or external
Response – the reaction to stimuli
