Study Notes
Nervous System Organization
- The Nervous System is composed of the Central Nervous System (CNS) and the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS).
- The CNS is made up of the Brain and Spinal Cord.
- The PNS links the CNS to receptors, muscles, and glands.
- The PNS can be divided into the Somatic Nervous System (SNS) and the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS).
- The SNS controls voluntary movement of skeletal muscles.
- The ANS controls glands and internal organs.
- The ANS is divided into the Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS) and the Parasympathetic Nervous System (PNS).
- The SNS arouses and energizes the body.
- The PNS calms the body and conserves energy.
Brain Organization
- The Brain Stem connects the brain to the spinal cord.
- The Cerebral Cortex is the outer layer of the brain.
- The Umbic System is a sub-branch of the nervous system, its specific function is unclear.
