31.2 The Central

Nervous System

Objectives:

1. Identify the parts of the central nervous system.

2. Describe the processes controlled by different parts of the brain

Page 2: Objectives: 1.Identify the parts of the central nervous system. 2.Describe the processes controlled by different parts of the brain

The Central Nervous System

The Spinal Cord:• The main communication link between

the brain and the rest of the body• Reflexes: quick automatic response

processed by the spinal cord

The Central Nervous System

The Brain:• The body’s control center—responsible

for processing and relaying information• Divided into parts:

• Hemispheres: left and right, control opposite sides of the body (left controls right, right controls left)

• Lobes: regions of the cerebrum associated with different functions
