The Central Nervous brain and spinal cord
System is composed of:
Cerebral Cortex/cerebrum, diencephalon, brain stem,
Parts of the CNS cerebellum, reticular formation, limbic system, spinal
cord
, Largest most upper part, controls voluntary activities
Cerebrum cortex/
(memory, sensation, imagination & learning) broken into
cerebellum
4 lobes
Diencephalon thalamus & hypothalamus

Thalamus cerebral cortex. regulates sensory impulses including
pain, touch, temperature
regulates body temperature, hunger, thirst, fat
Hypothalamus metabolism, ANS & sleep/awake cycles. it influences
activities essential for life
Brainstem Midbrain, Pons, Medulla Oblongata

Part of the brainstem that controls 3 vial centers;
Medulla oblongata cardiac, vasomotor, respiratory.
-regulates swallowing, coughing & vomiting
Cerebellum Balance & coordination/ equilibrium
a nerve network in the brainstem that regulates motor

control, cardiovascular control, sleep & wakefulness
Excitatory Fibers Increases degree of alertness
Inhibitory Fibers Causes drowsiness, sleep & loss of consciousness
Involved with emotional & behavioral responses like
Limbic System
