The Brain
This portion is located at the back of the brain. It controls balance, movement, and coordination.
What is the Cerebellum
This portion of your brain plays a role in memory and spatial navigation
What is the Hippocampus
This system is a division of the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) responsible for voluntary movements
What is the Somatic Nervous System
These nerves connect to the spinal cord, carrying sensory signals from the body to the CNS and motor signals back to the muscles.
What are spinal nerves?
Name the disease associated with abnormal electrical discharges from brain cells.
What are Seizures?
The Biggest part of the brain that controls your voluntary muscles, and solves problems, your memory lives here, and helps you with reasoning. this area has two halves which assist you with abstract thinking.
What is the Cerebrum
A bundle of nerve fibers connecting the left and right hemispheres of the brain, allowing communication between them.
What is the corpus callosum
This division of the PNS regulates involuntary functions such as heart rate, digestion, breathing, and glandular activity.
What is the autonomic nervous system (ANS)
These nerves connect to the brain, controlling functions like vision, hearing, and facial movement.
What are Cranial Nerves?
Name the disease that is also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, it is a motor neuron disease that weakens the muscles and progressively hampers physical function
What is ALS, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
The Smallest portion of the brain which connects the brain to the spinal cord. your body needs this to stay alive. Provides functions such as breathing, digestion, and blood circulation.
What is the Brain Stem
This lobe of the brain is responsible for vision
The sympathetic Nervous system does what
Prepares the body for "fight or flight" during stressful situations.
Increases heart rate, dilates pupils, slows digestion, and redirects blood to muscles.
These neurons within the PNS carry sensory information like touch, pain, and temperature from the body to the CNS.
What are Sensory Neurons
Name the disease, which is a progressive nerve disease that affects movement.
What is Parkinson’s Disease
This area is your brain's thermostat
What is the Hypothalmus
The lobe handles auditory, memory, and speech
What is the temporal Lobe
The parasympathetic system does what?
Promotes "rest and digest" functions, calming the body after stress.
Slows heart rate, constricts pupils, and stimulates digestion and energy storage.
These neurons transmit motor commands from the CNS to muscles, causing movement.
What are Motor Neurons
What disease is an inherited condition that causes the nerve cells in the brain to degenerate?
What is Huntington’s Disease
This portion of your brain processes emotions, especially fear and pleasure.
What is the Amygdala
What is The Frontal Lobe?
How does the PNS connect to the CNS
through nerves that branch out directly from the brain and spinal cord.
What part of the nerve serves as the insulating layer that increases the speed of nerve impulses?
What is the Myelin Sheath
What does TIA stand for?
What is Transient ischemic attack
