Chapter 2 Flashcards
Nervous System (3)
- Central Nervous System
- Peripheral Nervous System
- Autonomic Nervous System
Central Nervous System consists of
Brain and Spinal Cord
Peripheral Nervous System consists of..(3)
Cranial Nerves, Spinal Nerves, Autonomic Nervous System
Autonomic Nervous System consists of…
Sympathetic and Parasympathetic System
The brain is protected by
The skull
The spinal cord is protected by
The spinal column
The brain and spinal cord are both protected by
The meninges
Three membranous layers under the bony covering
Meninges
Meninges of the Brain (3)
- Dura Matter
- Arachnoid Matter
- Pia Matter
(DAP)
Dura Matter
Attached to the skull
Arachnoid Matter
Purple, spider webby
Pia Matter
Bottom level, attached directly to brain or spinal cord
-Left and Right Hemispheres
Cerebrum
Connected by Corpus Callosum (allows two hemispheres to communicate)
Cerebrum
Each hemisphere= 4 lobes (Frontal, Parietal, Temporal, and Occipital)
Cerebrum
Gyri, Sulci, and Fissures
Cerebrum
Gyri
Bumps
Sulci
Grooves
Fissures
Deep sulcus
Four Lobes of the Brain

Occipital Lobe is not involved in…(2)
- Speech
2. Language
For most people, language Area of the brain is located in the….
Left hemisphere
Right side dominance for language
5% of righties, 19% of lefties
Location of Cerebellum
Below and to the back of the cerebrum
Cerebellum plays a role in..(3)
- Motor Coordination
- Balance
- Movement
Cerebellum is found to be related to…(2)
- Autism
2. Stuttering
Most primitive part of the brain
Brain stem
Brain stem controls…(2)
- Breathing
2. Heart rate
Pathway for motor and sensory nerves carrying information to and from the Brain
Brian stem
Pathways cross over in the
Brain stem
Extension of the brain stem
Spinal Cord
Pathways for neural information
Spinal cord
Spinal cord is protected by..(2)
- Meninges
2. Spinal Column
Originate in the brain stem and exit at the base of the skull
Cranial nerves
How many pairs of cranial nerves
12 pairs
Transmit smell, vision, hearing, and taste information to the brain
Cranial Nerves
Transmit motor signals to control voluntary movement of eyes, mouth, lips, tongue, and larynx
Cranial Nerves
How many pairs of spinal Nerves
31 pairs
Originate in the spinal cord, exit at various points along the spinal cord
Spinal nerves
Carry motor and sensory information from the rest of the body
Spinal nerves
Speech-Language Areas of the Brain (3)
- Wernickes Area
- Brocas Area
- Motor Cortex
Location of Wernickes Area
Temporal Lobe
Function of Wernickes Area
Comprehension and formulation of language
Location of Brocas Area
Frontal Lobe
Function of Brocas Area
Motor planning of speech
Motor Cortex Location
Most posterior portion of frontal lobe, behind Broca’s
Motor Cortex function
Contains nerve centers that execute motor movements
