Document Summary
Donald webb"s major contribution were his understanding of the relation between the individual nerve cell, larger network, and higher processes. Module: a cluster of nerve cells that communicate with each other. Nerves are bundles of fibres with which the central nervous system communicates with the rest of the body (cns communicates with the rest of the body through the nerves) Brian stem must have pons, which are involved in controlling some stages of sleep. Cerebrospinal fluid protects the brain and spinal cord from the bones that surround them. The surface of the cerebral hemispheres is covered by the cerebral cortex (cerebral cortex is on he surface of the cerebral hemispheres) Cerebral cortex does not function in the formation of emotions. Myelin covering of the neurons is what gives the white colour (myelin = white colour or neurons) One function of the soma is to receive messages from the neurons.
