1. somatic nervous responsible for conscious awareness, voluntary control; governs most senses and
system skeletal muscle control
2. autonomic ner- responsible for visceral awareness, involuntary control
vous system
3. sympathetic "fight or flight", decreases gastric secretions, increases pulse rate, pupil dilation
pathways
4. parasympathetic "rest and digest", brings body back to normal
pathways
5. dominant hemi- houses speech center, for most people it is the left hemisphere, left handed people
sphere aren't really sure
6. right hemisphere controls left side of body, responsible for spatial abilities, drawing, processing
figures and faces and memories of places
7. left hemisphere controls right side of body, language, words and numbers, memory related to
language
8. cerebral cortex thick layer of gray matter covering hemispheres, center for highest functions like
thoughts, memory, reasoning, sensation, and voluntary movement
9. frontal lobe contains motor cortex, responsible for conscious thought, abstract thinking, judge-
ment, initiation of motor activity, fine motor movements, houses Broca's area in
dominant hemisphere
10. Broca's area expressive speech center, gives you ability to speak and say things that make sense
11. global aphasia damage to both Broca's and Wernicke's areas, experiencing mixed expressive and
receptive damage
12. parietal lobe

processes sensory data, interpretation of tactile, visual, gustatory, olfactory, and
auditory sensations, recognition of body parts (proprioception), area most com-
monly affected by strokes
13. affect of strokes patients unable to distinguish between left and right sides of body, unable to
on parietal lobe recognize object in hand due to sensation loss, have difficulty telling time
14. temporal lobe perception/interpretation of sounds, integration fo taste, smell and balance, hous-
es wernicke's area, contains hippocampus, converts short term memory to long
term memory
15. wernicke's area receptive speech center, understands auditory speech
16. occipital lobe primary vision center, interpretation of visual data, transmits via optic nerve
17. Limbic System mediates primative behavior, visceral responses to emotional and biological
rhythms
18. Olfactory Nerve Cranial nerve 1, sensory, carries smell impulses from nasal mucous membrane to
brain
19. Optic nerve cranial nerve 2, sensory, carries visual impulses from eye to brain
20. oculomotor cranial nerve 3, motor, contracts eye muscles control eye movements, constricts
nerve pupils, elevates eyelids
21. trochlear nerve cranial nerve 4, motor, moves eye downward and inward
22. trigeminal nerve cranial nerve 5, mixed, carries sensory impulses of pain, touch, and temperature
from the face to the brain, infuences clenching and jaw movements
23. abducens nerve cranial nerve 6, motor, controls lateral eye movements
24. facial nerve
