Name my system
I serve as the control of body and regulates all movements including those involved in speech production
The nervous system
These lobes are located on the postural gyrus immediately posterior to the central sulcus
Parietal lobes
Respond to changes in temperature
Thermoreceptors
Olfactory nerve
Olfaction (smell)
Large spherical structure that contains nucleus and organelles
Cell body (Soma)
I consist of the brain and spinal cord
The central nervous system
This lobe makes up one third of the cortex
The frontal lobe
React to light
Photoreceptors
Optic nerve
Vision
Short projections from the cell body that contain protein molecules.
Dendrites
I am further divided into the somatic and automatic system
The peripheral nervous system
These lobes are important for understanding language
temporal lobes
Responds to chemicals
Chemoreceptors
Oculomotor nerve
Eye movement, pupil size and accommodation
Composed of terminal segment of a neuron, the dendritic tree, and the space between the structures
Synapse
I consist of several brain structures including the hippocampus and I also deal with emotions and memory
The limbic system
This lobe is situated at the posterior portion of the brain and responsible for reception and processing of visual information
The occipital lobe
Responds to pressure, touch, and vibration
Mechanoreceptors
Auditory-vestibular:Cochlear nerve, Vestibular nerve
Audition and balance
Receiving part of a synapse
Postsynaptic membrane
I am divided into two systems
The nervous system
This lobe comprises several brain structures such as hippocampus, amygdala
The limbic lobe
Indicates pain
Nociceptors
Hypoglossal nerve
Control of three of the four muscles of the tongue and all intrinsic muscles
Intercellular space between presynaptic and postsynaptic membranes
