Nervous system
• Nervous system consists of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves.
• Nervous tissue consists of neurons; whereas the brain and spinal cord contain all parts of neurons, nerves contain only axons.

Neurons
• Motor Neurons–Accept nerve impulses from the Central nervous
system (CNS)–Transmit them to muscles or glands
• Sensory Neurons –Accept impulses from sensory receptors–Transmit them to the CNS
• Interneurons–Convey nerve impulses between various parts of
the CNS

CNS & PNS
• Central nervous system = Brain + Spinal cord
• Peripheral nervous system = Cranial nerves + Spinal nerves (gather info from sensors and conduct decisions to effectors)

Nerves• Structures containing many long fibers with myelin
sheath (axons / dendrites)
• Nerves do not contain cell bodies

Brain
• Cerebrum
• Diencephalon
• Cerebellum
• Midbrain
• Pons
• Medulla
Brain stem

Cerebrum
• Cerebral CortexA thin but highly convoluted outer layer of gray matter
• 4 lobes:
frontal lobe; temporal lobe; parietal lobe; occipital lobe
White matter
The rest of cerebrum except cerebral cortex
• Responsible for higher mental capabilities

Diencephalon
A region encircling the 3rd ventricle Consists of hypothalamus + thalamus + pineal gland
Hypothalamus forms floor of the 3rd ventricle Thalamus located in the sides and roof of the 3rd ventricle Pineal gland secretes melatonin
Helps integrate mental functions, primitive emotion and sleep

Cerebellum
• Separated from the brain stem by the 4th ventricle
– Receives sensory input from the eyes, ears, joints, and muscles
– Sends motor impulses out the brain stem to the skeletal muscles
• Helps maintain balance and produce smooth movements
![Page 15: Nervous system. Nervous system consists of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. Nervous tissue consists of neurons; whereas the brain and spinal cord contain](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062721/56649f265503460f94c3e1f7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Brain stem• Contains the midbrain, the pons, and the medulla
oblongata
–Midbrain
• Acts as a relay station for tracts passing between
the cerebrum, and the spinal cord or cerebellum
– Pons
• Helps regulate breathing and head movements
–Medulla oblongata
• Contains reflex centers for vomiting, coughing, sneezing, hiccuping, and swallowing

Spinal cord• The center for many reflex actions (involuntary and
predictable response to a given stimulus)
• Contains white and butterfly-shaped gray matter
![Page 17: Nervous system. Nervous system consists of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. Nervous tissue consists of neurons; whereas the brain and spinal cord contain](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062721/56649f265503460f94c3e1f7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Spinal reflexes
• A reflex is an involuntary and predictable response to a given stimulus.
• The brain is not involved in formulating the response.
