  • thalamus
    hypothalamus
    cerebrum
  • what are the parts of forebrain
  • What are the three parts of the hind brain?
    Pons
    medulla oblongata
    cerebellum
  • Can the brain feel pain?
    no
  • colored region in brain that made up of axon
    white matter
  • colored region in brain that contains cell bodies and dendrites
    darker region
  • what are the two distinct colored regions of the brain?
    gray matter or darker region and white matter
  • body's response to
    stimulus is demonstrated by a cell or organ
    known as
    effector
  • stimuli(p). These are
    perceived by a cell or organ called a
    receptor
  • The changes in the environment that causes
    a response is known as
    stimuli
  • how many pairs of spinal nerves
    31
  • how many pairs of cranial nerves?
    12
  • the ______s and the medulla oblongata
    pons
  • serves as the major processing center because part of it is the cerebrum
    forebrain
  • __________ system and __________ system work together to maintain homeostasis
    Nervous and Endocrine
  • It receives the sensiry signals forwarded by the thalamus also interprets and allow the body to experience the sensation, touch, smell, etc

    cerebrum
  • visual infromatuon
    occipital lobe
  • process sensory information
    parietal lobe
  • where complex thinking occurs
    frontal lobe
  • where audiotiry processing occurs
    temporal lobe
  • What are the 4 lobes of the brain?
    frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital
  • maintains body functions and
    restores the body to normal or relaxed mode.
    parasympathetic
  • it is activated when the body is in a
    dynamic role or stress.
    sympathetic
  • This system is associated with the involuntary control
    of body movements
    autonomic nervous system
  • the nerve fibers that carry
    information into and out of the brain stem
    cranial nerves
  • the nerves that carry motor
    and sensory signals between the spinal cord
    and the body.
    spinal nerves
  • This system is associated with the voluntary
    control of body movements
    somatic nervous system
  • It serves as a pathway of nerve
    impulses going to or coming from
    the brain.
    spinal cord
  • Controls simple musculoskeletal
    reflexes without input from the
    brain.
    spinal cord
  • Regulates balance
    and muscle
    coordination
    cerebellum
  • helps regulate breathing,
    heart and blood vessel
    function, digestion,
    sneezing, and swallowing
    medula oblongata
  • It is involved in the control of
    breathing, communication
    between different parts of the
    brain,
    pons
  • The connection central
    between the brain and the
    spinal cord
    Relays sensory information
    to the cerebrum;
    Coordinates eye reflexes;
    Helps regulate sleep
    midbrain
  • Maintains homeostasis.
    Regulates many
    hormones, blood pressure,
    body temperatures, heart
    rate, hunger, thirst, and
    emotions.
    Hyphotalamus
  • It is the sensory switch board . Directs all incoming sensory information to the cortex
    Thalamus
  • What organs did the Central Nervous System contains?
    Brain and the spinal cord
  • serves as the processing center and also interprets the message from the receptors
    Central nervous system
  • What are the two parts of the nervous system?
    Central Nervous system and Peripheral Nervous system
  • Where do the sensory neurons go to make an action without processing in the brain?
    Spinal cord
  • The simple pathway traveled by the nerve impulse of a reflex action.
    Reflex Arc
