Complexity
One neuron may connect to 80,000 other neurons
Total neural connection may exceed one quadrillion (1,000,000,000,000,000 – 15 zeros)
Endocrine system communicates by using hormones that travel through the blood system

The Nervous System
Central Nervous System (CNS) – Brain & Spinal Cord
Peripheral Nervous System – From spinal cord to exremities

Spinal Cord
Conduit Reflexes
Sensory (afferent) neurons Motor (efferent) neurons – (muscles) Interneuron – connect sensory to motor

Peripheral Nervous System
Somatic (Voluntary) – Senses & Voluntary Movement
Autonomic (Involuntary) – Unconscious bodily functions Sympathetic – Prep the body for emergency (fight
or flight) Parasympathetic – Calm the body

Evolutionary and Behavioral
Genetics predisposes people to behave in particular ways or to have particular characteristics

Endocrine System
Hormones (chemical messengers) affect function and growth of parts of the body
Pituitary (Master Gland) – Regulated by the hypothalamus – Responsible for growth & homeostasis
Thyroid (&Parathyroid) – Metabolism Thymus – Immune system Adrenal Gland & Pancreas – Produce Insulin &
Glucagon – control sugar metabolism Ovary & Testis – Produce sex hormones
