human nervous system
______ of the 23,000 genes encoded in the human genome are expressed in the NS.
> 1/3
Neurons exist within a dense parenchyma of multifunctional _________ that synthesize myelin, preserve homeostasis, and regulate immune responses.
glial cells
More than 350 different disease-causing genes have been identified, and >1000 neurologic disorders have been genetically mapped to various chromosomal locations.
Neurogenetics

White matter
Gray mater of the CNS
Astrocytes
White mater of the CNS
Oligodendroglia (produces myelin)
White mater
Microglia
Lines the walls of cavities and ventricles
Ependymal cells
ELECTRICAL ACTIVITY INSIDE THE NEURON
Synapse
SYNAPSE IS A VOID: TRANSFORMATION TO ___________.
CHEMICAL ENERGY
Overall in command of the nervous system
Cerebral cortex
Origin of all voluntary movement
Cerebral cortex
For all conscious awareness
Cerebral cortex
Frontal lobe as origin of all voluntary movement
Brodmann’s area 4 6 8
Frontal lobe for proper response to stimuli
Prefrontal lobe area 9 10 11 12
Also part of the LIMBIC LOBE
Prefrontal lobe
Brodmann’s area 9-12
Prefrontal lobe
Responsible for appropriate response to stimuli
Prefrontal lobe
Forms a motor homonculus / primary motor area
Area 4
Supplementary motor area
Area 6 and 8
Brocas area for expression of speech
Area 44
Located posterior to the rolandic sulcus
Parietal lobe
Receives, collects, processes and interprets general sensory stimuli
Parietal lobe
Located inferior to sylvian fissure
Temporal lobe
Receives, collects, processes and interprets auditory stimuli
Temporal lobe
Hard drive of CNS which stores all memory (inferior temporal gyrus)
Temporal lobe
LOCATED POSTERIOR TO THE PARIETAL LOBE
Occipital lobe
RECEIVES, COLLECTS, PROCESSES AND INTERPRETS VISUAL STIMULI
Occipital lobe
