Organization of the Nervous System
The brain interprets sensory information and coordinates responses. This process is known as what?
Integration and Processing
This part of the brain manages balance and coordination.
Cerebellum
This function sends signals from the nervous system to muscles and glands to initiate actions like movement or secretion.
Motor Output
what are the two subdivision of the Autonomic System and they are responsible for (fight-or-flight) and (rest-and-digest)
Parasympathetic Division and Sympathetic Division
This part of the brain is responsible for higher functions like thought, emotion, and voluntary movement.
Cerebrum
Memory, learning, reasoning, and emotional responses are examples of what type of nervous system functions?
Higher Cognitive Functions
The Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) is divided into two main systems. One controls voluntary muscles, and the other regulates involuntary functions. Name them both.
Somatic Nervous System and the Autonomic Nervous System
This division of the Autonomic Nervous System prepares the body for stress-related activities, also known as the "fight-or-flight" response.
Sympathetic Division
The nervous system gathers information from the environment through specialized structures. What are these structures called?
Sensory Input or receptors
This part of the nervous system includes the brain and spinal cord and acts as the control center for processing information.
Central Nervous System (CNS)
This part of the nervous system acts as a communication highway between the brain and the body and facilitates reflex actions.
Spinal Cord
This function of the nervous system involves processing and interpreting sensory input to make decisions.
Integration
What is the primary difference between the Sensory (Afferent) Division and the Motor (Efferent) Division of the nervous system?
The Sensory Division detects stimuli and transmits sensory information to the CNS, while the Motor Division carries signals from the CNS to muscles and glands to produce a response.
These nerves connect the brain to the head, neck, and thoracic region, providing sensory and motor functions.
Cranial Nerves
What are the three main functions of the nervous system that work together to detect stimuli, process information, and initiate a response?
Sensory Input, Integration, and Motor Output
