    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.
