Organization of Nervous System • Central Nervous System (CNS) • Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)
Central Nervous System • Brain • Spinal Cord
Division of Peripheral Nervous System • Somatic Nervous System • Autonomic Nervous System
Somatic Nervous System Nerves that connect to voluntary skeletal muscles and to sensory receptors.
Autonomic Nervous System Nerves that connect to the heart, blood vessels, smooth muscles, and glands.
Division of Autonomic Nervous System • Sympathetic Nervous System • Parasympathetic Nervous System
Sympathetic Nervous System • Prepares the body to fight.
Parasympathetic Nervous System • Allows the body to rest.
Forebrain • Cerebrum • Thalamus • Hypothalamus • Lobes • Hemispheres • Limbic System
Hindbrain • Cerebellum • Medulla • Pons
Midbrain • Reticular Formation
How Info Travels in Nervous System? • Dendrites • Soma/Cell Body • Axon
Dendrites Neurons that receive information.
Soma/Cell Body • Cell nucleus
Axon • Transmits signals away from the cell body and dendrites.
Brain Imaging Tools • Computerized Tomography (CT) Scan • Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan • Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Scan
CT Scan Abnormalities in brain structure.
PET Scan Looks at brain functioning.
MRI Scan Looks at brain structure and brain activity.
