Document Summary

The nervous system: nervous system is comprised of the cns and the pns, cns brain and spinal cord, pns autonomic (sympathetic and parasympathetic) somatic division, proprioception knowing where your body is in space. Cns: the hierarchy historical view, thi(cid:374)k of the (cid:272)e(cid:396)e(cid:271)(cid:396)al (cid:272)o(cid:396)te(cid:454) as the (cid:862)(cid:271)ig (cid:271)oss(cid:863), it tells e(cid:448)e(cid:396)(cid:455)o(cid:374)e (cid:449)hat to do and when to do it. The majority of these neurons arise in the primary motor cortex sensory (afferent) neurons transmit signals to, and up the spinal cord. Inferior parietal lobe (ipl) responsible for planning movement: legions in the ipl lead to apraxia (disorder of movement planning) Instead of seeing straight ahead you may be able to have your vision redirected to the left side. It takes time for them to accommodate, and evolves slowly overtime. When they take the glasses off they no longer exhibit a visual spatial neglect for a few hours: neuro degeneration within the parietal lobe alien hand syndrome.
