Study Notes
Nervous System and Signal Transmission
- The spinal cord is the primary structure responsible for transmitting signals between the brain and the rest of the body, facilitating communication between the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system.
Thoracic Cavity
- The thoracic cavity houses the heart and lungs, protected by the rib cage and divided into three parts: pleural cavities (for lungs) and the mediastinum (for the heart).
Brain Location
- The brain is located within the cranial cavity, which is part of the skull that encases and protects the brain.
Abdominal Structure
- The pelvic cavity is located below the abdominal cavity, containing reproductive organs, the bladder, and rectum.
Central Nervous System Composition
- The peripheral nervous system is not part of the central nervous system, which is comprised solely of the brain and spinal cord.
