| cerebr/o | cerebrum |
| the cerebrum is the | largest part of the brain |
| the cerbrum contains your: | memories hopes dreams wishes fantasies imagination desires |
| the cerebrum is the part of the brain that houses your | individuality |
| cerebral angiography | process of recording the vessels(blood) of the cerebrum |
| the brain is made up of sections called | lobes |
| cerebell/o | cerebellar |
| cerebeller | pertaining to the cerebellum |
| the cerebellum is located at the | posterior base of your brain |
| the cerebellum is responsible for | balance equilibrium |
| the brain stem is made up the | pons medulla oblongata midbrain |
| the brain stem is responsible for regulation of your | ventilation(breathing) blood pressure heart rate |
| myel/o | spinal cord |
| polio myelitis | inflammation of the spinal cord caused by the polio virus. |
| mening/o or meningi/o | meninges |
| meningitis | inflammation of the meninges |
| meningioma | tumor or mass of the meninx(singular form) |
| the meninges are tissue that surrounds the | brain and spinal cord |
| the meninges are made up he | dura mater arachnoid membrane pia mater |
| the space under the dura mater is called the | subdural space |
| the space under the arachnoid membrane is called the | subarachnoid space |
| neur/o | nerve(s) |
| neurologist | a specialist in the study of nerves |
| sensory nerons allow you to | feel taste smell hear and see |
| motor neurons allows you to | move |
| CNS | Central Nevous System |
| the CNS is made up he | brain and spinal cord. |
| PNS | Peripheral Nervous System |
| The PNS is made up of all nerves except | the brain and spinal cord |
| the neurons of the PNS have the ability to | regenerate if damaged |

| ANS | Autonomic Nervous System (involuntary) |
| The ANS is the part of your nervous system that functions | automatically (reflex) |
| The ANS has two branches called | parasymphathetic nervous system and sympathetic nervous system aka fight or flight reaction. |
| The parasympathetic nervous system contols the routine nervous functions such as | a)normal heart rate b)eupnea(normal breathing) c)peripheral vasodialtion(normal pink color d)bronchoconstriction(normal respirtation) e) pupillary constraction(normal visual) f)digestion e)pupillary constrictions F)digestion g)normal reproductive process. |
| The sympathetic nervous system controls the emergency nervous functions such as: | Tachycardia Tachypnea Pallar Brochodilation Pupillary dilation The digestive and reproductive system are reduced to minimal function |

| hemi | half |
| hemiplegia (hemiplegic) | a condition of paralysis of the right or left side of the body (brain damage) |
| paresis | partial paralysis |
| partial paralysis means | you can fee it but cannot move it or youan move it but cannot feel it. |
| hemiparesis | partial paralysis of the right or left side of the body (brain damage) |
| ict/o | seizure |
| preictal | pertaining to before a seizure |

| neuroma | a tumor or mass in a nerve |
| polyneuritis | inflammation of many nerves (poly likes many crackers) |
| subdural hematoma | a blood mass in the subdural space |
| cerebral aneursm | a weakness in a arterial septum of the cerebrum |

| psychosis (psychotic) | abnormal condition of the mind |
| sciatica | inflammation of a sciatic nerve (leg) |
| neurectomy | surgical excistion of a nerve |
| neurolysis | separating a nerve from adhesions |
