Physiology 2130 Lecture Notes - Inhibitory Postsynaptic Potential, Axon Hillock, Auditory Cortex
Document Summary
Consists of the central nervous system (cns) and peripheral nervous system (pns): 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 therefore divide the pns into somatomotor (going to skeletal muscles) and autonomic (going to other organs) nervous systems. Controls some of the most basic functions of the body like heart rate and respiration. Made up of the midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata. At the back, or posterior region, and just above the brain stem. Functional structure of the brain: lateral, frontal lobe: The primary motor cortex processes input from skeletal muscles throughout the body. The motor association area (premotor cortex) and the prefrontal cortex integrate movement information with other sensory inputs to generate perception (interpretation) of stimuli: temporal lobe:
