Study Notes
Organization of the Nervous System
- The Nervous System supplies the body wall and limbs (Somatic) and the Viscera (autonomic).
Types of Nerves
- Vestibulocochlear nerve: sensory for balance and hearing
- Glossopharyngeal nerve (IX): sensory for taste; motor fibers to the pharynx
- Cranial nerves: 12 pairs
- Spinal nerves: 31 pairs
Central Nervous System
- Consists of the brain and spinal cord
- Brain parts:
- Hemisphere: left and right halves of the brain
- Corpus callosum: connects the two halves of the brain, delivers messages between them
- Brain lobes:
- Frontal: voluntary motor functions, planning, mood, smell, and social judgement
- Parietal: sensory reception and integration of sensory information
- Occipital: visual processing
- Temporal: hearing, smell, learning, memory, and emotional behavior
Functions of Nerves
- Sympathetic and parasympathetic systems innervate many organs of the body, serving to balance functioning to maintain homeostasis
Neural Impulses
- Afferent impulses (sensation): received from the body by the spinal nerves and sent to the cerebral cortex
- Efferent impulses (movement): sent to the body by the spinal nerves and received from the cerebral cortex
