controls thought, movement, and emotion
CNS
what type of nervous system: collects information from your sensory nerves to process and respond to them
CNS
what type of nervous system: involved in the movement, stimulus-response and physiological changes
PNS
what are the two parts of the PNS:
afferent
efferent
afferent or efferent: sensory
afferent
afferent or efferent: motor
efferent
pns: brings information to the CNS
sensory/afferent
sends sensory information to the CNS
sensory/afferent
sending information from the CNS to the body to carry out responses
motor/efferent
transmits motor commands from the CNS to the body
efferent
pns: toward the CNS
afferent
pns: away from the CNS
efferent
what is the size of the spinal cord
45 cm (18 inches)
increases speed of conduction
myelin sheath
for faster diffusion of ions; allow for ions to diffuse in and out of the neuron
node of ranvier

DOPAMINE
SEROTONIN
GABA
ACETYLCHOLINE
GLUTAMATE
ENDORPHINE
what ate the lobes of the brain:
frontal
parietal
temporal
occipital
the part of the brain that controls many BIOLOGICAL functions
frontal
love that controls the ability to speech
frontal
a disorder when it can’t verbalize/speak fluently
broca’s aphasia
affects how you speak (your fluency) but not your understanding of words (your comprehension)
broca’s aphasia
lobe for awareness of the space, size, shape
parietal
lobe that is responsible for writing, visual, and comprehension
occipital
region of the brain that contains motor neurons involved in the comprehension of speech
wernicke
a disorder where it can talk fluently but the speech doesn’t make sense (word salad)
wernicke’s aphasia
what lobe: wernicke
temporal
a lobe for auditory
temporal
