What actions does you brain control?

Your alarm goes off and your arm flies up to hit the snooze button. You drag yourself out of bed and decide what to wear and what to have for breakfast. Your sister’s pancakes smell good so you grab a few bites while she’s not looking and head out the door. Running late (as usual), you sprint to catch your bus. You struggle to keep your balance as you head to the back of the already moving vehicle. A younger kid slams into your side with his book bag. You are about to yell, but you figure it’s not worth it and grab a seat. You finish up the last of your math homework and turn on your iPod to clear your head. You have two tests and then a game after school. You think to yourself, “How am I going to get through the day?”

Essential Question

4. How do the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system work together to control the body?

5. What are the functions of the main regions of the brain?

How does communication take place with in the human body

Nervous System 2 major divisions

The Central Nervous System Peripheral Nervous System

How does The Brain Allows us to Communicate. by what means?

Verbal Projection Auditory Reception Visual Reception Touch Reception

ALL of these are NERVE Connections that travel to and from the Brain

Central Nervous System Brain, and Spinal Cord

Spinal Cord is a two-way conduction path carrying impulses to and away from the brain through the hole in the skull known as the foramen magnum.

The Brain is divided into four major regions: cerebral hemisphere, diencephalon, brain stem, and cerebellum

Plus Cranial nerves 1

CerebrumCerebrum is the wrinkled upper half of the brain, what you think of as "brain." The deep wrinkles,

called sulci, increase the surface area so more information can be processed.

The cerebrum is divided into two hemispheres,

Each hemisphere has four lobes: frontal, parietal, temporal and occipital.

Lobes of the 2 hemisphere The frontal lobe, behind the forehead,

controls thinking, planning, judgment and movement.

The parietal lobe, on the top of the head, interprets sensory information, from the nerves

regarding taste, smell and touch. Spatial Orientation

The occipital lobe in the back of the head main center for visual processing .

The temporal lobe, on the sides near the temples, organizes sensory input, auditory perception,

language and speech production, as well as many memories are stored there.

Cerebellum The cerebellum is

located in the back of the head below the occipital lobe.

It combines sensory information to help coordinate movement – Balance

it is also the part of the brain that helps you pass a field sobriety test from law enforcement by enabling you to touch your nose with your eyes closed and walk a straight line heel to toe.

Brain Stem The brain stem includes the midbrain, the pons and the medulla oblongata.

The brain stem is very important to life, regulating heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature and sleeping.

Any nerve impulse traveling to the brain from the spinal cord must first pass through the brain stem.

Diencephalon Diencephalon is just

above the brain stem is made up of the

thalamus and hypothalamus.

The thalamus is the gatekeeper for messages sent to and from the cerebrum and the spinal cord.

The hypothalamus controls body temperature and vital urges such as thirst, hunger and fatigue.

Peripheral Nervous System Sensory and Motor

Peripheral Nerves are all nerves that are not part of the brain or spinal cord

Example: fingertip nerves for pain and temperature

Cranial nerves 2-12 originate in the CNS. However the cranial nerve axons extend beyond the brain and are therefore considered part of PNS

Spinal nerves branch from the spinal cord and the autonomous nervous system (divided into the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system).

Nervous System

"On Old Olympus Towering Tops A Finn And German Viewed Some Hops"

There are 12 pairs of cranial nerves.

Olfactory I Optic II Oculomotor III Trochlear IV Trigeminal V Abducens VI Facial VII Auditory (vestibulocochlear) VIII Glossopharyngeal IX Vagus X Spinal Accessory XI Hypoglossal XII

Communication between body systems.

Nervous system communicates with the organs and tissues by way of electrical signals Afferent Pathway

takes information TO the Brain--known as Sensory Nerves•Efferent Pathway takes information AWAY from the brain--Efferent Pathway known as Motor Nerves

2 type of Cell Structure in the Brain

neuron – Only responsibility is sending and receiving nerve impulses or signals.

Glial cells, the forgotten brain cell-are non-neuronal cells - provide support and nutrition, maintain homeostasis, form myelin, and facilitate signal transmission in the nervous system

Myelin is a electrically insulating material that forms a layer, the myelin sheath, usually around only the axon of a neuron.

Communication within the human body- Nervous System

A. Gathers information both from the outside world and from inside the body. SENSORY FUNCTION

B. Transmits the information to the processing area of the brain and spinal cord.

C. Processes the information to determine the best response. INTEGRATIVE FUNCTION

D. Sends information to muscles, glands, and organs (effectors) so they can respond correctly. Muscular contraction or glandular secretions. MOTOR FUNCTION

Part II

Motor Function

The cartoon-like drawing shows how the motor cortex is devoted to controlling specific body parts.

Some body parts are depicted larger than others (for example, the hand is larger than the shoulder) because there are more muscles controlling those areas.

Essential Questions

6. How do scientists determine which areas of the brain are associated with specific actions, emotions or functions?

Key TermsLesson 2.1 The Brain –

Brain Stem- The part of the brain composed of the midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata and connecting the spinal cord with the forebrain and cerebrum.

Central nervous system- The part of the nervous system which in vertebrates consists of the brain and spinal cord, to which sensory impulses are transmitted and from which motor impulses pass out, and which supervises and coordinates the activity of the entire nervous system.

Cerebellum- A large dorsally projecting part of the brain concerned especially with the coordination of muscles and the maintenance of bodily equilibrium, situated between the brain stem and the back of the cerebrum and formed in humans of two lateral lobes and a median lobe.

Cerebrum- The dorsal portion, composed of right and left hemispheres, of the vertebrate forebrain; the integrating center for memory, learning, emotions, and other highly complex function of the central nervous system.

Key TermsLesson 2.1 The Brain –

Gyrus- A convoluted ridge between anatomical grooves.

Limbic System- A group of subcortical structures (as the hypothalamus, the hippocampus, and the amygdala) of the brain that are concerned especially with emotion and motivation.

Lobe- A division of a body organ (as the brain, lungs, or liver) marked off by a fissure on the surface.

Peripheral nervous system- The part of the nervous system that is outside the central nervous system and comprises the cranial nerves excepting the optic nerve, the spinal nerves, and the autonomic nervous system.

Phrenology- The study of the conformation of the skull based on the belief that it is indicative of mental faculties and character.

Sulcus- A shallow furrow on the surface of the brain separating adjacent gyri.
