The Nervous System Perry C. Hanavan, Au.D.
Learning Outcomes • Outline the basic anatomy of the nervous system • Understand anatomical divisions: • Central nervous system • Peripheral nervous system • Understand functional divisions: • Somatic nervous system • Autonomic nervous system • Explain the functions of the major structures of the nervous system
Question Which of the following is a part of the peripheral nervous system? • Brain • Spinal nerves • Spinal cord • Cranial nerves • B and D
Anatomical divisions CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM BRAIN SPINAL CORD PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM CRANIAL NERVES To & from brain SPINAL NERVES To & from spinal cord
brain spinal cord peripheral nerves The nervous system
Role of the nervous system • To monitor the internal and external environment of the body • To process this information • To direct behaviour and body processes
Question The skeletal muscles belong to the: • SNS • ANS • CNS • I have no idea
Functional divisions Somatic nervous system: voluntary, controls skeletal muscle Autonomic nervous system: involuntary, controls smooth muscle
