CNS – answer brain and spinal cord
PNS – answer connects the CNS to the rest of the body (organ functions; gut, heart,
urinary bladder, muscle, etc.)
-Includes cranial and spinal nerves
Somatic Nervous System - answer-processing of sensory information (conscious and
unconscious)
-control of striated muscles (movement)
autonomic nervous system - answercontrol of the visceral activities including
cardiovascular, digestion, temp, weight, and reproduction
-composed of sympathetic and parasympathetic.
Gyri - answer ridges
Sulci - answerdepressions or grooves.
Frontal lobe - answerorbital cortex, primary motor cortex, premotor and supplementary
motor, and brocas area
orbital cortex - answeremotional reaction to environment situations
primary motor cortex - answerall voluntary movement.
premotor and supplementary motor areas - answerplanning and control of movement.
broca's area - answerexpressive speech
Parietal Lobe - answerprimary somatosensory cortex, somatosensory association area,
angular gyrus.
primary somatosensory cortex - answerreceives most direct and least processed
information then sends it to secondary areas.
somatosensory association area - answerintegration of information
angular gyrus - answervisual and auditory information converge.
temporal lobe - answerprimary auditory cortex, auditory association cortex, visual
association area, wernicke's area, emotion and memory circuit.
