Structures of the central nervous system: BRAIN

Cerebrum

Divided into two hemispheres (right and left)

Frontal lobe Occipital lobe Parietal lobe Temporal lobe

Structures of the central nervous system: BRAIN

Diencephalon
Located between the cerebrum and the midbrain Structures

Thalamus Hypothalamus Pineal body Pituitary gland

3.01 Remember the structures of the nervous system 10

Structures of the central nervous system: BRAIN

Diencephalon
Thalamus spherical mass of gray matter; deep in the cerebral hemispheres Hypothalamus lies below the thalamus; part of the limbic system Pineal body endocrine system gland Pituitary gland endocrine system gland

Structures of the central nervous system: BRAIN

Limbic system
Located in the center of the brain Encircles the top of the brain stem.

Composed of the amygdala, hippocampus, cingulated gyrus, and other intricate structures. (Informational only for reference.)

Structures of the central nervous system Autonomic nervous system

Sympathetic nervous system

Parasympathetic nervous system

Extends from the base of the brain, along both sides of the spinal column These nerves connect to all internal organs

The vagus nerve connects the medulla with organs of the upper body The pelvic nerve emerges from the spinal cord and connects with the organs of the lower body

Structures of the central nervous system Somatic nervous system

These nerves are located along the spinal cord. Connect skeleton, muscles and joints to the brain.
