Largest most recognisable part of the brain. It is responsible for thought, imagination and reasoning.

Receive impulses indirectly from receptors.

carry impulses from the CNS to skeletel muscles, which are under voluntary conscious control

Flight or fight response

A physiological reaction in response to stress, results in increase in heart rate, blood pressure,glucose levels in the blood, and redistribution of blood from the digestive tract to the muscles.caused by activation of the sympathetic nervous system.

controls coordination of movement and posture

compare input with previous experiences in order to interpret what the input means and judge an appropriate response.

is the part of the peripheral nervous system that acts as a control system functioning largely below the level of consciousness, and controls visceral functions.The ANS heart rate, digestion, respiratory rate, salivation, perspiration.

Central Nervous System

The complex of nerve tissues that controls the activities of the body. In vertebrates it comprises the brain and spinal cord.

The continuation of the spinal cord within the skull, containing control centers for the heart and lungs.

Send impulses to effectors (Muscles and Glands)

is one of three major parts of the autonomic nervous system,It is, however, constantly active at a basic level to maintain homeostasis.

Peripheral Nervous System

Consists of all sensory and motor neurones that are outside the central nervous system- connecting the receptors and effectors to the CNS.

controls autonomic nervous system and endocrine

when sympathetic and parasympathetic systems differ in action, opposing the other.

the system of glands that produce endocrine secretions that help to control bodily metabolic activity.

Parasympathetic Neurone

To be specific, the parasympathetic system is responsible for stimulation of activities that occur when the body is at rest, especially after eating, including sexual arousal, salivation, lacrimation, urination, digestion and defecation

The network of nerve cells and fibers that transmits nerve impulses between parts of the body.

Term	Definition
Cerebrum	Largest most recognisable part of the brain. It is responsible for thought, imagination and reasoning.
Sensory areas	Receive impulses indirectly from receptors.
Somatic Neurone	carry impulses from the CNS to skeletel muscles, which are under voluntary conscious control
Flight or fight response	A physiological reaction in response to stress, results in increase in heart rate, blood pressure,glucose levels in the blood, and redistribution of blood from the digestive tract to the muscles.caused by activation of the sympathetic nervous system.
Cerebellum	controls coordination of movement and posture
Association areas	compare input with previous experiences in order to interpret what the input means and judge an appropriate response.
Autonomic Neurone	is the part of the peripheral nervous system that acts as a control system functioning largely below the level of consciousness, and controls visceral functions.The ANS heart rate, digestion, respiratory rate, salivation, perspiration.
Central Nervous System	The complex of nerve tissues that controls the activities of the body. In vertebrates it comprises the brain and spinal cord.
Medulla Oblongata	The continuation of the spinal cord within the skull, containing control centers for the heart and lungs.
Motor Areas	Send impulses to effectors (Muscles and Glands)
Sympathetic Neurone	is one of three major parts of the autonomic nervous system,It is, however, constantly active at a basic level to maintain homeostasis.
Peripheral Nervous System	Consists of all sensory and motor neurones that are outside the central nervous system- connecting the receptors and effectors to the CNS.
Hypothalamus	controls autonomic nervous system and endocrine
Antagonistic	when sympathetic and parasympathetic systems differ in action, opposing the other.
Endocrine System	the system of glands that produce endocrine secretions that help to control bodily metabolic activity.
Parasympathetic Neurone	To be specific, the parasympathetic system is responsible for stimulation of activities that occur when the body is at rest, especially after eating, including sexual arousal, salivation, lacrimation, urination, digestion and defecation
Nervous System	The network of nerve cells and fibers that transmits nerve impulses between parts of the body.
