Question:
4. Central NS Divisions
Answer:
Brain and Spinal Cord
Question:
5. Gray Matter
Answer:
Found on the outside of the brain, rich in neuronal cell bodies
Question:
6. White Matter
Answer:

, Question:
7. Cerebrum
Answer:
Right hemisphere receive sensation and controls left side, Left side receives
sensation and controls right
Question:
8. Cerebellum
Answer:
Movement control center, left controls left, right controls right
Question:
9. Brain Stem
Answer:
Relays info from cerebrum to spinal cord and cerebellum and vice versa, controls
vital functions (breathing, consciousness, control of body temp)
