Central nervous system: cerebrum, cerebellum, brain stem, spinal cord. Peripheral nervous system: cranial nerves (12, spinal nerves. Two hemispheres, four lobes, grey vs. white matter. Outer meninges (3: pia: innermost layer, arachnoid: middle layer, dura mater: outermost layer. Cortex has numerous fissures, (rolandic, sylvian: ridges (gyri) and, valleys (sulci) Grey matter: cell bodies on the neuron: responsible for processing higher level conceptual information. White matter: covered in fatty substance - myelin. Rolandic fissure: separates the parietal lobe. Body is represented upside down in the primary motor and sensory cortex. Homunculus: body represented on the motor and sensory cortex. Wer(cid:374)i(cid:272)ke"s area/temporal lobe: hearing and auditory processing, comprehension of language.
