Functions
What is the function that manages emotions and emotional responses?
Emotions regulation.
Which organ regulate breathing?
How does the homeostasis help the body?
By regulating vital body function like digestion, heart rate, and breathing.
What is the brainstem?
The brainstem is made up of the medulla, pons, and midbrain.
What is peripheral nervous system?
It is to relay information between the brain and the rest of the body.
what initiates muscle movements and coordinates walking, talking, and writing?
Motor control.
What organ helps the brain to communicate with the rest of the body?
It's the spinal cord.
What can a brain do to help?
A brain can help by controlling everything it is in charge of thoughts,memories,emotion,movements and even detecting pain.
What is forebrain made up of?
It's made up of the diencephalon and cerebral hemispheres.
What are atonomic nerves?
nerves that control involuintary or semi-involuntary functions including heart rate, blood pressure, sweating, and digestion.
What is cognition?
It is the processing information, learning, memory, decision making, and complex thought.
What's responsible for balance and coordination?
The cerebellum.
What are pons?
pons are apart of the brainstem that send function coordinating signals with the brain to the spinal cord and is helpful with many unconscious activities like breathing while we sleep.
What is cerebrum?
It is the largest part of the brain, divided into two hemispheres.
What are motor nerves?
It sends impulses from the brain and spinal cord to muscles to allow movement.
What is sensory perception?
It detects stimuli from you environment through your senses like sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell.
What does hypothalamus?
It's a region of the brain that regulates vital functions like body temperature and hunger.
What is the midbrain?
The midbrain is deep into the brain that involves alertness and sleep/wake circle also motor activities and more.
What is diencephalon?
This includes the thalamus, hypothalamus, and epithalamus.
What are sensory nerves?
It sends messages from the muscles back to the brain and spinal cord.
What manages involuntary body functions like digestion, heart rate, and sweating?
Autonomic nervous system control.
What is thalamus?
its the relay center for sensory information going to the brain.
What is the medulla?
the medulla sends signals in particular to the heart and respiratory system, which helps control breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure.
what other cells are contained in the central nervous system?
Glail cells like astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, ependymal cells, and radical glia.
What are the seven components that the peripheral nervous system (PNS)?
The seven components nerves, ganglia, sensory neurons, autonomic nervous system (ANS), sympathetic nervous system, parasympathetic nervous system, and somatic nervous system.
