| 2 divisions of the nervous system | cranial nervous system (brain and spinal cord), peripheral nervous system (cranial nerves, autonomic nervous system, somatic nervous sytem) |
| peripheral nervous system | Cranial nervesAutonomic nervous systemSomatic nervous system |
| central nervous system | the spinal cord and the brain; the brain contains the cerebral lobes, cerebellum, basal ganglia, diecephalon, brainstem, and lymbic system |
| somatic nervous system | this is all of the things that you are aware of around you. -sensory=smelling, touch, hearing-motor=voluntary action; running, walking, and shaking hands |
| autonomic nervous system | these are things that happen in the body autonomically.-digestion-breathing-heart beat |
| parasympathetic nervous system | this helps to keep the body in homeostasis-pupil dilation-decreased heart rate-perstalisis of digestion, normal function-bladder functions as normal |
| sympathetic nervous system | this helps us with fight or flight response (something that is stressing the system)-pupil constriction-increased heart rate-digestion slow down-production of urine slows |
