Document Summary

Nervous system anatomy and physiology: central nervous system, brain and spinal cord, peripheral nervous system, nerves that connect body to brain and spinal cord. Cns brain: cerebrum, majority of the brain, right and left cerebral hemispheres, hemispheres are connected by the corpus callosum, cerebellum. Inferior to cerebrum, posterior to brainstem: right and left hemispheres, responsible for most motor movements. Cns cerebrum: cortex the surface layer of the cerebrum, gyri ridges, sulci grooves (more shallow, central sulcus big line down the middle on the top of your head, fissures large sulci (deeper) Lobes: frontal, primary motor function; coordination and control, production of speech and expressive language, executive functions (planning, organization, divided by central sulcus, parietal, primary sensory function, sensory input processing, cognitive functions (e. g. , language and mathematical. Frontal processing: occipital, visual processing, temporal, primary auditory cortex, auditory and language comprehension. Formed of neurons: cell bodies of neurons.
