The Complexity of the Nervous System

Central Nervous System (CNS) = Consists of the brain and spinal cord Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) = Includes the nerves and nerve cells outside the brain and spinal cord Endocrine Glands = Responsible for producing hormones for bodily regulation Biological Bases of Behavior = Relates to the biological foundation of human behavior

Human culture = Accumulated experience of thousands of generations stored in the brain Nervous system = Controls and regulates the structure and function of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves Internal communication system = Ensures integrated functioning of various bodily systems Integrated functioning = Coordination between the nervous system and other bodily systems

Language, religions, governments, childrearing practices, technologies, economies = Depend on the remarkable capacity of the brain to make internal representations of the external world Religions, governments, childrearing practices, technologies, economies = All man-made constructs Human culture = Depends on the complexity of the brain and its capability to store accumulated experience Technologies = Depend on the capacity of the brain to create internal representations of the external world

<p>Moment of conception to moment of death = Time frame during which biology of an individual is continuously changing From the moment of conception = Start of biological changes in an individual To the moment of death = End point for continuous biological changes in an individual Thousands of generations = Accumulated experience stored in human culture</p> Signup and view all the answers
