answers
Central nervous system (CNS) - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔Brain and Spinal cord
Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔Nerve fibers and Nerve
ganglia
3 major parts of the brain - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔Cerebrum;
Cerebellum;
Brainstem
Where is the brainstem? - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔It connects the brain and spinal
cord
role of the brainstem - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔Regulation of RR, HR, BP, sleep-wake
cycle and levels of alertness
Cerebellum function - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔Regulates movement, plays role in
procedural memory and classical conditioning
Cerebrum - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔Ability to think, plan, process sensory
information, and to move.
Motor function (control of voluntary movement) - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔Back edge
of frontal lobes
,Somatosensory (bodily sensations :heat, cold, pain, pressure, body position) - ** VERIFIED
ANSWERS **✔✔Front edge of parietal lobes
vision (ability to see) - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔Occipital lobe
auditory (ability to hear) - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔top part of temporal lobe
Speech production (motor speech) - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔Broca's area (Frontal
lobe, L. hemisphere)
Speech planning/comprehension (sensory speech) - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS
**✔✔Wernicke's Area: Junction of the parietal, temporal, and occipital lobes (L.
hemisphere).
biologically- based motive- control of drives to satisfy basic biological needs, such as
hunger/thirst - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔hypothalamus, located at the bottom of the
brainstem, near where the brainstem meets the cerebrum
Limbic functions (regulation of emotions) - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔Limbic system
consisting of a group of brain areas located near the corpus callosum and extending into the
temporal lobes
the spinal cord (ascending tract) - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔Carry sensory information
from body, upwards to the brain (touch, skin temp, pain, & joint position)
the spinal cord (descending tract) - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔Carry information from
brain downwards to initiate movement and control body functions
4 main groups of spinal nerves? - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔C: Cervical
, T: Thoracic
L: Lumbar
S: Sacral
Cervical nerves - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔nerves in neck; supply mov't & feeling to
arms, neck & upper trunk. Also control bleeding
Thoracic nerves - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔In the upper back; supply the trunk and
abdomen
Lumbar nerves and sacral nerves - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔nerves in lower back;
supply legs, bladder, bowel and sexual organs
Two parts of the PNS - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔Somatic nervous system;
Autonomic nervous system
Somatic Nervous System (SNS) - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔Voluntary actions
autonomic nervous system (ANS) - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔Involuntary actions
2 parts of the autonomic nervous system - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔sympathetic
nervous system (fight or flight); parasympathetic nervous system (vegetative system)
Cluster A PD (odd/eccentric) - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔Paranoid, Schizoid,
Schizotypal
Cluster B PD (dramatic/erratic) - ** VERIFIED ANSWERS **✔✔Antisocial, Borderline,
Histrionic, Narcissistic
