HUMAN NERVOUS SYSTEM o musical awareness

o memory
o hearing
CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM o learning
o feelings
Brain
- is the location of most  Occipital Lobe
information processing. o visual perception
- the center of consciousness o visual interpretation
o reading
Divided into three (3) major areas:
Cerebellum
Cerebrum
- coordinates balance and body
- controls a wide variety of movements
activities; most voluntary motor
function and conscious thought Brain Stem
- contains 75% of brains total
- controls most function necessary
volume
for life
- divided into two (2) hemisphere
- most primitive part of CNS
and four (4) lobes
- best-protected part of CNS
- senses of balance; reflexes;
 Frontal Lobe
breathing; digestion; swallowing;
o problem solving
consciousness; temperature;
o judgment
alertness
o inhibition
o personality
Spinal Cord
o emotional traits
- is the main pathway to and
o language production
o motor planning from the brain.

 Parietal Lobe
o sense of touch, taste and
smell PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
o spatial perception
o visual perception - ganglion
o academic skills - nerves
o math calculations
o reading
o writing

 Temporal Lobe
o understanding language
o organization and
sequencing
o information retrieval
 NERVOUS SYSTEM - primary goal is controlling the
body’s feed and breed reactions,
PERIPHERAL CENTRAL which are then followed by the
rest and digest reactions.
SOMATIC

AUTONOMIC

SYMPATHETIC PARASYMPATHETIC
(arousing) (calming)

AUTONOMIC PS

- controls self-regulated action of

internal organs and glands

SOMATIC PS

- controls voluntary movements of

skeletal muscles

SYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM

Definition

- is a portion of the nervous system

that is responsible for producing
reflex cardiovascular system
alterations such as sweating in
reaction to a rise in body
temperature.
Function
- main goal is to initiate fight-or-flight
responses
PARASYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM
Definition

- a branch of the nervous system

that largely regulates visceral
organs like glands.
