Bates Chapter 17 Neuro
Brain has 4 regions - 1. Cerebrum
2. Diencephalon
3. Brainstem
4. Cerebellum

Brain hemisphere - 1. Frontal
2. Parietal
3. Temporal
4. Occipatal

Neurons - Interconnecting nerve cells, consisting of cell bodies

Axons - Single long fibers conduct impulses to other parts of nervous system

Basal Ganglia (deep in brain) - Affects movement

Thalamus - Process sensory impulses

Hypothalamus - Maintains homeostasis & temperature regulation, HR, BP
Affects endocrine system
Governs emotional behaviors e.g. anger, sexual drive
