/2025
What does the central nervous system consist of?
brain and spinal cord
Is the somatic nervous system voluntary or involuntary?
Voluntary
What does the autonomic nervous system consist of?
sympathetic nervous system and parasympathetic nervous system
What does the sympathetic nervous system do?
Reacts to threatening situations
What does the parasympathetic nervous system do?
Maintains normal physiological functioning
,Examples of the sympathetic nervous system
Increased heart rate, dilated pupils
examples of parasympathetic nervous system
Decreasing heart rate, stimulation the digestive system
Functions of the frontal lobe
reasoning, planning, movement, emotions, problem-solving
Functions of the parietal lobe
movement, orientation, recognition
Function of the occipital lobe
visual processing
Functions of the temporal lobe
perception and recognition of auditory stimuli, memory, and speech
Functions of the brain stem
, maintaining breathing and heart rate
Functions of the cerebellum
controlling fine movement, coordination, posture and balance
Brain damage to the frontal lobe
paralysis, changes in social behaviour and difficulty problem solving
Brain damage to the parietal lobe
dyscalculia, problems with reacting, difficulties with hand and eye coordination
Brain damage to the occipital lobe
defects in vision and difficulty with identifying colours
Brain damage to the temporal lobe
difficulty in understanding spoken words, short term memory loss and inability to categorise
objects
Brain damage to the brain stem
