Central
Nervous System
Nervous System
This part of the nervous system involves the brain, and information being processed throughout the whole body
Central Nervous system
nerve fibers that carry information from sensory receptors such as skin to the brain
afferent neurons
This prepares the body for "fight or flight" responses, increasing heart rate and blood pressure.
sympathetic nervous system
small almond shape structure in the brain processing emotion, especially fear
Amygdala
This brain structure is involved in the formation of new memories.
Hippocampus
This thing is responsible for sending sensory and motor information between the brain and the rest of the body
Spinal Cord
Ns that controls Voluntary movements
somatic nervous system
This neurotransmitter is associated with helping to decrease heart rate and increase digestive activity
Acetylcholine
The amygdala deals mainly with...
Emotion
The hippocampus is located in this part of the brain.
temporal lobe
Control center responsible for regulating breathing and heart rate.
Brainstem
muscles that are under conscious control, like the muscles in the arms and legs are called?
Skeletal muscles
This helps the body return to a state of calm after a stressful event.
parasympathetic nervous system
In addition to fear, the amygdala plays a role in the processing of this emotion, which can drive behavior such as aggression and attachment.
Anger
The hippocampus is part of a larger network called the..
limbic system
This section of the brain is responsible for judgement and decision making
Frontal lobe
These neurons transmit motor commands from the CNS to skeletal muscles in response to voluntary movement.
Efferent Neurons
This structure in the brainstem is responsible for regulating autonomic functions such as heart rate, respiration, and blood pressure.
Medulla
amygdala is connected to this structure in the brain, which is responsible for memory formation, creating a link between emotions and memories.
Hippocampus
Name two Parts of the limbic system.
Hypothalamus, Thalamus
Processes information
Brain
If this Neuron is damaged in the SNS it can lead to paralysis, where the ability to move skeletal muscles is lost.
motor neurons
the constant activation of the sympathetic nervous system can lead to long-term health effects, such as increased risk for this condition.
High blood pressure
overactive amygdala may be associated with conditions like PTSD and anxiety disorders, often resulting in an exaggerated response to.
Threat detection to fear
This type of memory allows you to remember locations and navigate through your environment, helping you find your way around your house or a new city.
spatial memory
