Central Nervous System (CNS) - composed of brain + spinal cord bathed in
Components & Functions cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
- receives and processes sensory information and
creates responses to be relayed to muscles/glands
- the site of emotion, memory, cognition, learning
- protected by the skull & vertebrae, CSF, blood-
brain barrier, meninges (dura mater, arachnoid
mater, pia mater)
Cerebrum - largest part of the brain
- sensory & motor activities
- motor coordination
- R & L hemispheres
- 4 lobes (frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital)
Cerebellum - beneath the cerebrum, base of the brain
- coordinates muscle movements
- controls posture
- maintains equilibrium
Brain Stem - composed of the midbrain, pons, and medulla
- pupillary reflexes and eye movements
- respirations
- cardiac, vasomotor functions
