Behavioral Neuroscience – Neuroanatomy Review
well Defined 2023.
central nervous system - Answer brain and spinal cord
peripheral nervous system - Answer nerves outside the brain and spinal cord
somatic nervous system - Answer part of the peripheral nervous system; nerves
and muscles; sensations from the body and movement of muscles
autonomic nervous system - Answer part of the peripheral nervous system;
automatic processes (breathing, heartrate, digestion)
sympathetic nervous system - Answer part of the autonomic nervous system;
prepares the body for arousal/speeding up the body; fight or flight response
(increased heart rate, blood pressure, respiration); norepinephrine released both
preganglionic and postganglionic
parasympathetic nervous system - Answer part of the autonomic nervous system;
facilitates vegetative, non-emergency responses/slows the body down; sleeping,
digestion ("rest and digest"); norepinephrine released preganglionic and
acetylcholine released postganglionic
ventral - Answer bottom
dorsal - Answer top
, Behavioral Neuroscience – Neuroanatomy Review

anterior - Answer front
posterior - Answer back
nerves - Answer bundle of axons outside the central nervous system
tracts - Answer bundle of fibers inside the central nervous system
ganglia - Answer cluster of cell bodies outside the central nervous system
nuclei - Answer cluster of cell bodies inside the central nervous system
Bell Magendie Law - Answer in the spinal cord, dorsal nerves are important for
sensory functions and ventral nerves are important for motor functions
central canal - Answer hole in the center of the spinal cord that spinal fluid runs
through; cushion between brain and bone
white matter - Answer myelinated axons (outside of spinal cord)
grey matter - Answer cell bodies (inside of spinal cord)
