As medical school students, what are a few things that come to mind when thinking about the nervous system? The Brain? The spinal cord? Indeed, but The nervous system is a highly complex with a great deal of functions that helps us take-in and respond to the world around us. Its basic functions are involved in receiving information about the environment around us but it is understood in sensation, response and integration. It is reason for our necessary physiological functions and the very essential

of the brain controls how we feel/emotional needs, our speech, movement, body temperature, self-awareness, and many more. In depth, the brain is divided into several sections/groups. Sections include the Cerebrum, Cerebellum, brainstem, and the diencephalon. The cerebrum is considered to be the largest part of the brain. Split in two parts called the left and

the cerebral cortex, the olfactory bulb, and the corpus striatum. The functions of the telencephalon include: determining intelligence, personality, sense of smell, sense of touch, sensory impulse interpretations, organization and planning. The diencephalon is located in between the cerebral hemispheres and is greater than the midbrain. It is composed of the thalamus and hypothalamus structures. The thalamus acts as a relay point for nerve impulses that are inbound from around the body that are then

The brain is such an amazing organ. The function of the brain is to receive information from other parts of the body, understand the information, and the figure out how to respond to the situation. The brain is responsible for such important things such as memory, body movements, the senses, and pretty much everything else. The average female brain weighs about 2.7lbs, and the average male brain weighs about 3lbs. The brain is also one of the fattest organs in the body. A little fun fact about the

the body’s most important organs. The brain is the center of the nervous system; it receives information, interprets the information and guides the body’s response to the information. Three parts of the brain are the cerebrum, cerebellum, and the diencephalon, along with the brain stem. The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain which handles memory, speech, the senses, emotional responses and much more. Below and behind the cerebrum, attached to the brainstem is the cerebellum. This part of the

Introduction Alzheimer and depression effects an individuals’ occupations, independence and self worth, this will be the aim and focus of the following discussion. This discussion will explore the functions and disability of this scenario which includes, the primary body systems involved in Alzheimer 's and depression including the structure’s and function’s. Then, how Lee’s (2003) occupations across the three areas of productivity, self care and leisure are affected. Furthermore, it will also explore

Emma Fletcher 013729779 Brain Functions Assignment 1. Anatomical Position - Human The main anatomical position of the human is where the human is standing straight, facing forwards, with the arms down the sides of the body with the palms facing outwards and the feet pointing outwards. The human is positioned this way so no bones crossover. 2. Central Nervous System The part of the nervous system encompasses the brain and spinal cord. There is both white and grey matter in the central nervous

Lab Journal Assignment https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwOXPmVMPbM This dissection video is discussing the cranial nerves. The cranial nerves are named numerically according to the number in which they arise from the brain but they are also named by their function. The video discussing who the cranial nerves are either for sensory, motor control, or a mixture of the two. The human brain we looked at have a great depiction of where the cranial nerves are located. The first cranial nerve discussed

The central nervous system (CNS) is that portion of the vertebrae nervous system that is composed of the brain and spinal cord. Together with the peripheral nervous system (PNS), the other major portion of the nervous system, the CNS coordinates the body's interaction with the environment. The CNS is contained within the dorsal cavity, with the brain in the cranial subcavity (the skull), and the spinal cord in the spinal cavity (within the vertebral column). Then human nervous system is the most
