Has specialized areas for attention, problem solving, creativity, memories, decision making, and logic
Frontal Lobe
Balance and coordination
Cerebellum
respond to temperature change
thermorecpetors
(neurotransmitters) = chemical messengers that carry messages from one neuron to the next cell
chemical messengers
The endpoint of a neuron where neurotransmitters are stored and where chemical messages get sent out
Axon terminal
Receives sensory input for touch and body position, knows where you are in 3d space
Parietal Lobe
Brain and spinal cord
detect electromagnetic energy such as light, electricity, magnetism, and muscle movement
electromagnetic recpetors
covers the axon and helps speed the electrical impulses through (cushions)
Myelin Sheath
Controls vision and sight
Occipital lobe
Controls Voluntary movements
Motor Cortex
Every other nerve in your body
peripheral nervous system
The 5 senses
vision,taste,hearing,touch,smell(olification)
Specialized cells that myelinate the fibers of neurons
Schwann cell
take signals from your sensory receptors and send to your central nervous
registers and processes body touch and movement sensations
Sensory Cortex
respond to touch, pressure, vibration etc..
Mechanoreceptors
Receive Messages from other cells
Dendrites
gaps in the myelin sheath, allow fast transports
communicate between brain and spine
Inter neurons
A region of the cerebral cortex responsible for expressions, speech, social cues, smell etc...
Temporal Lobe
Respond to chemicals
chemorecpetors
Contains the nucleus and other components to maintain its life
Cell Body
Carries nerve impulses away from the cell body
Axon
communicate output or reaction
Motor neurons
