2 parts◦CNS = Central Nervous system◦PNS = Peripheral Nervous system

1. Brain◦ Average brain = 3-4 lbs.◦ 100 billion nerve cells (neurons)
2. Spinal Cord◦ Housed by vertebral column

Leading out from the CNS to specific parts of the body
1. Nerves 31 pairs of spinal nerves branch off to the
body2. Receptors3. Muscles 4. Glands

1. Reptilian – most primitive2. Limbic – emotions3. Cerebrum – most
advanced

Midbrain – vision, hearing
Pons –consciousness, sleep
Medulla oblongata – heart rate & breathing
(vital signs)

Functions below level of conscious thought Involuntary
◦ Coordination◦ Balance
May play a role in schizophrenia, ADHD, autism, and other psychiatric disorders

Communication between right and left brain
Electrical signal problems cause epilepsy

◦Primitive emotions such as fear and danger
◦Thirst, hunger

Sensory integration Spatial sense

Amygdala: ◦ “decodes” emotions, especially anything
threatening
Hippocampus: ◦ Learning◦ Emotional memories…FEAR◦ Video: start at 3:30
*Hippocampus and amygdala work together to produce anxiety and related disorders

Most advanced – conscious brain
Largest part of the brain◦ Intelligence/Reasoning◦ Memory◦ Language◦ Personality ◦ Senses
Divided into 2 halves◦Left & Right brain
