NERVOUS SYSTEM FUNCTIONS
DESCRIPTION
 A specialized cell transmitting nerve
NEURON impulses; a nerve cell.
NEURON
PARTS:
Cell body the cells life support center.
Dendrites receives messages from other cells.
Axon passes messages away from the cell body to other neurons, muscles, or glands.
Myelin sheath covers the axon of some neurons and helps speed neural impulses.

TYPES:
Sensory neurons are sensitive to various non-neural stimuli. There are sensory neurons in the skin, muscles, joints,
and organs that indicate pressure, temperature, and pain.
Motor neurons are able to stimulate muscle cells throughout the body, including the muscles of the heart,
diaphragm, intestines, bladder, and glands.
Interneurons provide connections between sensory and motor neurons, as well as themselves. The neurons of the
central nervous system, including the brain, are all interneurons.
 The human brain is the command
center for the human nervous
BRAIN system. It is one of the largest
and most complex organs in the
human body.
BRAIN
PARTS:
Cortex (Cerebrum) is the outermost layer of brain cells. Thinking and voluntary movements begin in the cortex.
Brain stem is between the spinal cord and the rest of the brain. Basic functions like breathing and sleep are controlled here.
Basal ganglia are a cluster of structures in the center of the brain. The basal ganglia coordinate messages between multiple
other brain areas.
Cerebellum is at the base and the back of the brain. The cerebellum is responsible for coordination and balance.
Hypothalamus and Pituitary gland - are responsible for visceral functions, body temperature and behavioral responses such as
feeding, drinking, sexual response, aggression and pleasure.
Frontal lobes are responsible for problem solving and judgment and motor function.
Parietal lobes manage sensation, handwriting, and body position.
Temporal lobes are involved with memory and hearing.
Occipital lobes contain the brain's visual processing system.
LEFT BRAIN VS. RIGHT BRAIN
The left brain controls all the muscles on the right-hand side of the body; and the
right brain controls the left side.
The left brain contains regions involved in speech and language, and is also
associated with mathematical calculation and fact retrieval.
The right brain plays a role in visual and auditory processing, spatial skills and
artistic ability more instinctive or creative things.
