Systems
What are the two major divisions of the nervous System?
CNS and PNS
Hindbrain, Midbrain and forebrain
Which are the 4 parts of your cerebrum?
Frontal lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe and occipital lobe
Main role of the neurons.
Receiving and sending information

What's the main function of the PNS?
Sending sensory information to the CNS
Parts of the hindbrain.
Pons, medulla and cerebellum
The right side of your brain controls the logic and maths aspects, and the left side controls the creative and artistic aspects.
True or False?
False, it's the other way around.
Types of neuron
motor, receptor and inter
Frontal Lobe! Do 3 push ups.
If your back was straight and your chest touched the floor you get the points.
Name the 4 functions of the CNS.
Processing information.
Control Center
Motor functions
Homeostasis
Parts of the midbrain.
Tectum, tegmentum and substantia nigra
Where does the information sent to the occipital lobe comes from?
Your eyes
Name the parts of the neuron
dendrite, soma, axon hillock, axon, myelin sheath, axon terminal

What parts or aspects of your body does the ANS mainly modify the way they work?
Breathing, heart rate and digestion depending on sympathetic or parasympathetic responses.
Main role of the cerebellum.
Movement coordination and balance.
Connect sense to brain lobe: touch - smell - vision - taste - hearing
Touch and taste -> parietal lobe
Smell -> frontal lobe
Vision -> occipital lobe
Hearing -> temporal lobe
What are synapses?
Tiny gaps between neurons where neurotransmitters are released to transmit signals from one neuron to the next
Riddle: A farmer has chickens and cows. In total, he has 30 heads and 100 legs. How many chickens and cows does he have?
Name every system involved and their role in touching a hot surface.
SNS - Sensing the heat and sending the info to the CNS.
ANS - fight or flight response.
CNS - Spinal cord reflex, parietal lobe further actions
How do the thalamus and the cerebrum work together?
The thalamus is a relay station for information that decides to which part of the cerebrum it should send the sensory information received
Mention the main function/functions of each lobe.
frontal -> thinking & reasoning, motor functions, smell, emotions and speech
parietal -> maths ability, touch, taste, spatial & body awareness
temporal -> hearing, emotions and memory
occipital -> vision
How does the information travel from neuron to neuron?
This is the process by which information travels from neuron to neuron, involving an electrical impulse called an action potential, the release of neurotransmitters across a synaptic cleft, and the binding of these neurotransmitters to receptors on the next neuron, allowing the signal to continue.
You are on an island with a wolf, a sheep and a lettuce. You need to cross to the other side of the river with all of them but your boat can only fit you and one of them. If you leave the wolf and the sheep alone the wolf will eat it, and if you leave the sheep with the lettuce, so will the sheep. How can you cross the river with all three of them?
You + sheep ->
<- you
You + wolf ->
<- you + sheep
You + lettuce ->
