3. Thursday November 29th 2012 • QU: • OBJ: Brain Lab, Notes, Neurons “Butterflies taste with their feet.”

4. Central Nervous System • Made up of the: • Brain • Spinal cord

5. The Brain • Coordinates body activities • Divided into two parts- • Forebrain • Hind brain **Surrounded by an outer covering: Cerebral Cortex**

6. Forebrain • Made up of the • Thalamus • Hypothalamus • Cerebrum

7. Cerebrum • Largest part of the brain • Memory is stored • Movements are controlled • Impulses from the senses are interpreted.

8. Hippocampus • Helps to organize and store memories • Organizes Emotional Responses

9. Thalamus • Sorts data and sends to other parts of the brain

10. Hypothalamus • Your daily rhythms (sleeping) • Thirst • Temperature

11. Hindbrain • Made up of the: • Brainstem • Cerebellum

12. Cerebellum • Interprets stimuli from eyes, ears, muscles • Controls voluntary muscle movements • Maintains muscle tone • Helps maintain balance

13. Brain Stem • Connects brain to spinal cord • Made up of the midbrain and the pons, • Act as pathways connecting various parts of the brain with each other • And the Medulla • controls involuntary actions

14. The Spinal Cord • Extension of the brain stem • Bundles of neurons that carry impulses from all parts of the body to the brain and from the brain to all parts of your body

15. Cerebral Cortex • Outer covering to the cerebrum • Higher Level thinking • Divided into Lobes • Frontal • Parietal • Temporal • Occipital

16. Corpus Callosum • Connects hemispheres • Supports communication between hemispheres “Connects left brain to right”

17. So what? • So your brain does all of this great stuff but how does it communicate with the rest of your body? NEURONS!!

23. Reflex • A reflex is an involuntary, or automatic, action that your body does in response to a stimulus • A reflex action often involves a very simple nervous pathway called a reflex arc.

24. Reflex Arc • A reflex arc starts off with receptors being excited. They then send signals along a sensory neuron to your spinal cord, where the signals are passed on to a motor neuron. As a result, one of your muscles or glands is stimulated.
