Document Summary
Name and differentiate between the two main subcategories of the vertebrate nervous system. Central (brain and spinal cord) and peripheral (nerves, tissues, everything else) Identify and describe the subdivisions of the pns. Autonomic nervous system = sympathetic: rest and digest (acedocoline), and parasympathetic: fight or flight (adrenaline) Spinal cord receives info through the ventral side, and leaves through the dorsal. Differentiate between ganglion and nucleus, nerve and tract, and the basic directional terms. Ganglion is a group of cells in the pns, the nucleus is a group of cells in the cns. Death valley makes lagoons and pools cave in. Name the structures and systems found in the hindbrain, midbrain, and forebrain and describe their basic functions. Filled with cerebral spinal fluid serves to cushion the brain and hold nutrients in reserve. Name the four brain lobes and describe their primary functions: Lecture 12 (back of the heard) (over the ear)
