General Divisions of the Nervous System
• Central Nervous System– Brain– Spinal Cord
![Page 9: The Organization of the Nervous System.ppt](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042618/577cc3621a28aba71195e362/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
General Divisions of the Nervous System
• Peripheral Nervous System– Somatic
• Sensory (afferent) and Motor (efferent) neurons• Innervates muscles, bones
![Page 10: The Organization of the Nervous System.ppt](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042618/577cc3621a28aba71195e362/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

General Divisions of the Nervous System
• Peripheral Nervous System– Autonomic
• Innervates glands and smooth muscles like the heart
• Works outside our control• Broken into sympathetic and parasympathetic
nervous systems
![Page 12: The Organization of the Nervous System.ppt](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042618/577cc3621a28aba71195e362/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems
• Sympathetic– Charges the body up
for emergencies– All parts emerge
simultaneously– Examples
• Parasympathetic– Calms the body down
after an emergency– A few parts slow down
at a time after an emergency
– Examples
![Page 13: The Organization of the Nervous System.ppt](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042618/577cc3621a28aba71195e362/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Comparative Approach to Brain Analysis
• Also called the triune brain model– Reptilian – Brainstem made up of medulla
oblongata, pons and cerebellum– Old Mammalian – limbic system made up of
septum, hippocampus; amygdala, cingulate cortex, hypothalamus, and thalamus
– New Mammalian – cerebral cortex
![Page 14: The Organization of the Nervous System.ppt](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042618/577cc3621a28aba71195e362/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Localization of Brain Function
• Overall, most activities in the brain come from various regions, yet certain activities seem to be most critical in handling specific functions.
![Page 15: The Organization of the Nervous System.ppt](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042618/577cc3621a28aba71195e362/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Subcortical areas– (from posterior to anterior regions)
• Medulla oblongata• Pons• Cerebellum• Midbrain• Thalamus• Hypothalamus• Limbic system
– Septum– Amygdala– hippocampus
![Page 16: The Organization of the Nervous System.ppt](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042618/577cc3621a28aba71195e362/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The Neocortex
• Convoluted surface has 10% of our neurons, and 80% of our brain volume– Gyri– Sulci– Fissures
• Responsible for higher functions such as thought and planning
![Page 17: The Organization of the Nervous System.ppt](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042618/577cc3621a28aba71195e362/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Lobes of the Neocortex• Frontal
– Motor cortex– Broca’s area
• Parietal– Somatosensory region
• Occipital– Primary visual cortex
• Temporal– Wernicke’s area– Smell and taste areas– Auditory cortex
![Page 18: The Organization of the Nervous System.ppt](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042618/577cc3621a28aba71195e362/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Lateralization of Function
• Techniques for showing lateralization– Electrical stimulation of awake participants– PET scans show regions for different activities– Strokes, injuries and lesions show specific deficits– EEG patterns– Split brain (commissurotomy) patients– Drugs affecting half the brain– Dichotic listening (different noises to each ear)
![Page 19: The Organization of the Nervous System.ppt](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042618/577cc3621a28aba71195e362/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Left Brain Specialization
• Speech and language– Receptive auditory language function– Expressive language function– Handedness and language
![Page 20: The Organization of the Nervous System.ppt](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042618/577cc3621a28aba71195e362/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Right Brain Specialization
• Spatial functions• Pattern recognition• Color distinctions• Musical functions
![Page 21: The Organization of the Nervous System.ppt](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042618/577cc3621a28aba71195e362/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The Endocrine System
• Comparison to nervous system:– Hormones secreted into bloodstream rather
than neurotransmitters secreted into neural pathways
– Works in minutes to hours whereas nervous reactions are fractions of second to minutes
– Long-lasting effects rather than quick to dissipate
– Both interact with specific receptor sites– Systems overlap in certain parts
![Page 22: The Organization of the Nervous System.ppt](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042618/577cc3621a28aba71195e362/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Hormones
• Three types: – Steroids– Peptides– Amino acid derivatives
![Page 23: The Organization of the Nervous System.ppt](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042618/577cc3621a28aba71195e362/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Hormones
• Active in small amounts• Under tight negative feedback control• Rapidly degraded in body
– Steroids and peptides in liver– Amino acids by enzymes in blood
