nervous system Flashcards
two branches of the nervous system
central nervous system and peripheral nervous system
central nervous system (CNS)
encased in bones of the skull and vertebral column
cerebrum
sensory, motor, and higher mental function
6 lobes of the cerebrum
frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital, limbic, and insula
frontal lobe
higher processes : thinking, decision making, planning
parietal lobe
processes sensory information
temporal lobe
auditory
-superior, middle, and inferior temporal gyrus
occipital lobe
visual information
limbic lobe
processes memory and emotion
-midsagittal cut to see it
-around corpus callosum
insula lobe
involved in consciousness
-pull temporal lobe down and lift up on parietal and frontal lobe
gyrus
fold
-the hills
sulcus
groove
-the valleys
central sulcus of rolando
between frontal and parietal lobe
lateral sulcus
on the edge of the temporal lobe
angular gyrus
back corner/angle of temporal lobe
-below sylvian sulcus
supramarginal gyrus
above the sylvian sulcus
precentral gyrus
frontal lobe side
-primary motor strip
postcentral gyrus
parietal lobe side
-primary somatosensory strip
how is HAL situated
knee and foot bent around into central sulcus, anterior is hand then anterior and inferior is the face
-mapped for how much control or sensitivity you need for different areas
fissures
deep grooves
-i.e. separation of hemispheres
