what are the 4 lobes?

A
  1. frontal
  2. partial lobe
  3. occipital lobe
  4. temporal lobe
35
Q

What is the Anatomical Approach?

A

Based on gross anatomy of nervous systems

36
Q

What is the functional approach?

A

Based on the function of the nervous systems of voluntary and involuntary

37
Q

In the Functional approach what two nervous systems are there?

A
  1. Sensory / Afferent

2. Motor / Efferent

38
Q

What are the two branches of Sensory Systems in the Functional approach?

A
  1. Somatosensory

2. Visceral

39
Q

Afferent?

A

Gets information and brings in to the nervous system

40
Q

in the the functional approach what is Somatosensory?

A

in charge of pain / pressure

41
Q

in the functional approach what is the Visceral in charge for?

A

in charge of hunger / thirst / organs

no control

42
Q

in the functional approach what does efferent mean ?

A

takes information out of nervous system and sends it to our face/ hands

43
Q

in the functional approach what 2 branches are in the motor system?

A
  1. Automatic

2. somatic

44
Q

in the Functional approach what is the Automatic Nervous system?

A

acts as a control system functioning outside levels of consciousness

45
Q

in the Functional approach what is the Automatic Nervous system examples?

A
  1. heart rate
  2. breathing
  3. sexual arousal
46
Q

in the Functional approach what is the Automatic Nervous system divides in to two main branches?

A
  1. parasympathetic

2. Sympathetic

47
Q

parasympathetic ?

A

Rest Digest
conserves energy
blood pressure down, slow down breathing

48
Q

Sympathetic ?

A

fight / flight
makes you ready
dilates eyes

49
Q

Somatic?

A

Motor signals out of our control

50
Q

what is the developmental approach ?

A

Looks at the brain organization based on what has happened during development
