Fonctions Systeme Nerveux Central Flashcards
What is the function of the brain?
The brain is the command center for voluntary movements, interprets sensory perceptions, and is associated with intelligence and emotions. It also regulates physiological functions such as metabolism.
What role does the cerebellum play?
The cerebellum is responsible for balance and coordination of movements.
What is the function of the brainstem?
The brainstem processes internal stimuli and controls involuntary movements.
What are the functions of the spinal cord?
The spinal cord memorizes frequently performed gestures to increase precision, perceives and analyzes changes in the body, and commands involuntary movements of vital organs.
What vital functions does the spinal cord control?
It controls vital functions such as respiratory rhythm, heart rate, and blood pressure, and ensures certain reflexes like coughing and swallowing.
What is the relationship between the spinal cord and the brain?
The spinal cord serves as a link between the brain and different regions of the body, with the majority of nerve impulses passing through it.
What are some examples of voluntary activities?
Examples include raising an arm, closing eyes, dancing, solving a problem, and expressing emotions.
What are some involuntary actions controlled by the brainstem?
Involuntary actions include regulating breathing, heart rate, and reflex actions like coughing and sneezing.
How does the brain manage emotional responses?
The brain manages emotions by interpreting sensory information and regulating physiological responses.
What is the role of the cerebellum in posture?
The cerebellum maintains posture by constantly adjusting muscle contractions based on information from the body.
