    Study Notes

    Anatomy and Function of the Nervous System

    • The nervous system comprises the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS).
    • The brain has three main components: paired hemispheres, cerebellum, and brain stem.
    • The cerebral hemispheres control sensomotor activities, memory, and intelligence.
    • The cerebellum controls subconscious activities, especially coordinated movement and balance.
    • The brain stem controls automatic functions such as heartbeat and breathing.
    • The cranial nerves connect the brain to the head and are responsible for various functions such as smell, sight, and hearing.
    • The spinal cord is located in the vertebral canal and is responsible for transmitting nerve impulses to all parts of the body.
    • The nerves can be motor, sensory, and sensomotory, and are named after the region of the spinal column from which they branch.
    • The autonomic nervous system consists of sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves that regulate the work of the smooth muscles, heart, and blood vessels.
    • The balance of sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves is essential for proper organ function and imbalances can lead to psychosomatic diseases.
    • The brain is supplied with blood by four major blood vessels that provide essential nutrients and oxygen.
    • Areas depending on a terminal branch of the blood vessels are especially vulnerable to disturbances in the flow of blood.

    • The nerves can be motor, sensory, and sensomotory, and are named after the region of the spinal column from which they branch.
    • The autonomic nervous system consists of sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves that regulate the work of the smooth muscles, heart, and blood vessels.
    • The balance of sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves is essential for proper organ function and imbalances can lead to psychosomatic diseases.
    • The brain is supplied with blood by four major blood vessels that provide essential nutrients and oxygen.
    • Areas depending on a terminal branch of the blood vessels are especially vulnerable to disturbances in the flow of blood.

    Anatomy and Function of the Nervous and Respiratory Systems

    • The nervous system is composed of the central and peripheral nervous systems.
    • The brain has three components: paired hemispheres, cerebellum, and brain stem.
    • The cerebral hemispheres control sensomotory activities, memory, and intelligence.
    • The cerebellum controls coordinated movement and balance.
    • The brain stem controls automatic functions like heartbeat and breathing.
    • The spinal cord is located in the vertebral canal and has motor, sensory, and sensomotory nerves.
    • The autonomic nervous system has sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves that counterpoise each other.
    • The respiratory system consists of the respiratory tract and lungs.
    • The nasal cavity filters, moistens, and warms the air.
    • The pharynx connects the nasal passage with the larynx and the mouth with the esophagus.
    • The larynx is responsible for the voice.
    • The lungs exchange carbon dioxide for oxygen and are vulnerable to airborne particles.

    Anatomy and Function of the Nervous and Respiratory Systems

    • The nervous system is composed of the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system, with the brain and spinal cord being part of the former.
    • The brain is made up of paired hemispheres, the cerebellum, and the brain stem, and has four interconnected ventricles filled with cerebrospinal fluid.
    • The cerebral hemispheres control the sensomotory activities of the body, memory, and intelligence, while the cerebellum controls coordinated movement and balance.
    • The brain stem contains nerve centers that control automatic functions such as heartbeat and breathing, and the peripheral nervous system is made up of nerves throughout the body.
    • The spinal cord runs through the vertebral column and is divided into cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and sacrococcygeal regions.
    • Nerves can be motor, sensory, or sensomotory, and the autonomic nervous system controls the work of smooth muscles, heart, and blood vessels.
    • The respiratory system includes the respiratory tract and lungs, and the nasal cavity filters, moistens, and warms the air before it enters the respiratory system.
    • The pharynx connects the nasal passage with the larynx and the mouth with the esophagus, and the larynx contains the vocal cords responsible for the voice.
    • The lungs exchange carbon dioxide for oxygen, and each lung has about 300 million alveoli where this exchange takes place.
    • Breathing is controlled by the diaphragm and costal muscles, and the pleura lubricates the lungs to expand and contract smoothly.
    • Oxygen forms oxyhemoglobin and is transported to cells where it is exchanged for carbon dioxide and transported back to the lungs as carboxyhemoglobin.
    • The lungs are vulnerable to particles and irritants such as bacteria, tobacco smoke, and allergens that can cause lung infections and diseases.
