Nervous System by

1. autonomic nervous system

jordanlightner — 2025-02-27 16:18:18 UTC

Contains the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, which work together to control involuntary body functions.

2. central nervous system

jordanlightner — 2025-02-27 16:18:24 UTC

Consists of the brain and the spinal cord

3. cerebellum

jordanlightner — 2025-02-27 16:18:30 UTC

The section below the back of the cerebrum. It is responsible for muscle coordination, balance, posture, and muscle tone

4. cerebrospinal fluid

jordanlightner — 2025-02-27 16:18:39 UTC

A clear cordless fluid, This fluid circulates continually between the ventricles and through the subarachnoid space.

5. cerebrum

jordanlightner — 2025-02-27 16:18:44 UTC

The largest and highest section of the brain. The outer part is arranged in folds called convolutions and separated into lobes. The lobes include the frontal parietal temporal and occipital named from the skull bones that surround them

6. diencephalon

jordanlightner — 2025-02-27 16:18:49 UTC

The section located between cerebrum and midbrain. it contains two structures the thalamus and hypothalmus.

7. hypothalamus

jordanlightner — 2025-02-27 16:18:55 UTC

Regulates and controls the autonomic nervous system, temperature, appetite, water balance, sleep, and blood vessel constriction and dilation.

8. medulla oblongata

jordanlightner — 2025-02-27 16:19:03 UTC

The lowest part of the brainstem it connects with the spinal cord and is responsible for regulating heartbeat respiration swallowing coughing and blood pressure.

9. meninges

jordanlightner — 2025-02-27 16:19:08 UTC

Three membranes that cover and protect the brain and spinal cord

10. midbrain

jordanlightner — 2025-02-27 16:19:13 UTC

The section located below the cerebrum at the top of the brainstem. It is responsible for conducting impulses between brain parts and for certain eye and auditory reflexes.

11. nerves

jordanlightner — 2025-02-27 16:19:17 UTC

A combination of many nerve fibers located outside the brain and spinal cord. Afferent or sensory nerves carry messages from all parts of the body to the brain and spinal cord

12. nervous system

jordanlightner — 2025-02-27 16:19:24 UTC

A complex highly organized system that coordinates all the activities of the body. This system enables the body to respond and adapt to changes that occur both inside and outside the body.

13. neuron

jordanlightner — 2025-02-27 16:19:34 UTC

The basic structural of the nervous system is the neuron or nerve cell. It consists of cell body containing a nucleus nerve fibers, called dendrites (which carry impulses toward the cell body.

14. parasympathetic

jordanlightner — 2025-02-27 16:19:39 UTC

Counteracts the actions of the sympathetic system by slowing heart rate decreasing respiration lowering blood pressure and increasing activity in the digestive tract

15. peripheral nervous system

jordanlightner — 2025-02-27 16:19:44 UTC

Consists of nerves and has two divisions: the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system.

16. pons

jordanlightner — 2025-02-27 16:19:49 UTC

The section located below the midbrain and in the brainstem. It is responsible for conducting messages to other parts of the brain; for certain reflex actions including chewing tasting and saliva production and for assisting with respiration

17. somatic nervous system

jordanlightner — 2025-02-27 16:19:55 UTC

Carries messages between the CNS and the body

18. spinal cord

jordanlightner — 2025-02-27 16:20:00 UTC

Continues down from medulla oblongata and ends at the first or second lumbar vertebrae. It is surrounded and protected by the vertebrae.

19. sympathetic

jordanlightner — 2025-02-27 16:20:09 UTC

Prepares the body to act by increasing heart rate, respiration, and blood pressure and by slowing activity in the digestive tract.

20. ventricles

jordanlightner — 2025-02-27 16:20:17 UTC

Hollow spaces that connect with each other and with space under the arachnoid membrane.
