It's role;
Controller, regulator of voluntary and involuntary movement/function; Center of all mental activity

branches of the nervous system
central nervous system and peripheral nervous system
Ganglia (neurons) and nerves (axons)
PNS
Fight or flight
Sympathetic, visceral; regulated by the hypothalamus
acceleration and constriction
Cerebral palsy, aphasia, parkinsons, stuttering, TBI...
Occur when NS is impaired;(all relate to speech and language)
The brain and spinal cord are found within this
central nervous system
Nuclei (neurons) and tracts (axons/white matter)
CNS
Rest and digest
Parasympathetic; slowed HR, reduced BP; deceleration; dialation
Travels along the neuron pathways while electrical charges move across each neural cell membrane
3/4 of the brains volume, controls higher functioning (reasoning, speech, vision)
Cerebrum
the peripheral nervous system breaks off into these two categories
Somatic and Autonomic (sympathetic and parasympathetic)
Final common pathway
Cranial and spinal nerves to muscles and glangs
Parasympathetic and sympathetic
Disruptions in NS can lead to disorders in...
Speech and language
Second largest part of brain, carries signals to the brain and spinal cord, coordinates muscle movements and posture
Cerebellum
In this part of the nervous system, cranial and spinal nerves receive and integrate input from the brain and sensory receptors before they go out to all muscles and glands
Peripheral Nervous system
Sends motor info to the PNS and receives sensory info from the PNS
CNS
Division of NS vital to SLPs
Somatic; controls of muscles arise mostly from motor areas of the brain with neural impulses sent through the descending motor tracts through the cranial and spinal pathways
ions moving across the membrane causes the impulse to move along the ...
Nerve cells
Grouping of thalamus, hypothalamus, and the pituitary gland, working together to produce and regulate neural chemicals
Diencephalon
Efferent ... exiting
Autonomic NS
