1. CENTRAL NER- -Brain
VOUS SYSTEM -Spinal cord
(CNS) CN I-II
2. PERIPHERAL -12 pairs of cranial nerves (CN III-XII)
NERVOUS -31 pairs of spinal nerves (sensory)
SYSTEM (PNS)
3. NERVE CELLS Primary functional unit of the NS
(NEURONS) 1. Excitability
2. Conductivity
3. Influence
4. GLIAL CELLS (glia, neuroglia) provide support, nourishment, and protection to neurons. Con-
stitute almost hald of brain and spinal cord mass; 5-10x more numerous than
neurons
5. CEREBRAL COR- *Frontal Lobe* = *Motor cortex*, personality, behavior, emotion, intellectual fxn
TEX -*Broca's Area* = Motor Speech (*expressive aphasia*)
*Temporal Lobe* = Hearing, taste, smell
-*Wernicke's area* = Speech comprehension (*receptive aphasia*)
*Occipital Lobe* = Visual reception
*Parietal Lobe* = Sensation
*Cerebellum* = Not apart of cerebral cortex
-Motor coordination, equilibrium, balance
