Document Summary

Module 6: the nervous system: cns central nervous system and pns peripheral nervous sstem, the cns is made up of the brain and spinal cord, while the nerves outside the. Cns that go to muscles and organs like the heart are considered part of the. Pns: we can thus divide the pns into somatomotor (going to skeletal muscles) and autonomic (going to other organs) nervous systems. Landmarks : within each lobe are regions that have v specific functions. The primary cortex processes input from skeletal muscles thru-out the bodyt. The motor association area / premotor cortex and the prefrontal cortex (v. front) integrate movement information with other sensory inputs to generate perception/interpretation of stimuli red then green from the top down ((primary motor, premotor, prefrontal cortex)) The primary auditory cortex and auditory association areas, which receive and process signals from the auditory nerve and integrate them with other sensory inputs.
