Question
Answer
CNS has two components   spinal cord and brain  
🗑
brain is composed of   forebrain, midbrain, hindbrain  
🗑
PNS has two main components   somatic and autonomic nervous system  
🗑
somatic nervous system is composed of   afferent neurons and efferent neurons  
🗑
autonomic nervous system is composed of   parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems  
🗑
region associated with higher thinking   forebrain  
🗑
associated with directing movement, sensory integration, language learning and memory   cerebrum  
🗑
portion of the brain associated with emotion and memory formation   limbic system  
🗑
integration center; plays an important role in coordinating the senses, consciousness, alertness and sleep   thalamus  
🗑
connects the nervous system and endocrine system. It is associated with thermoregulation, hunger, thirst, hydration, sleep, and circadian rhythms   hypothalamus  
🗑
helps integrate information from various parts of the brain. In this way it plays a role in motor coordination and motivation   midbrain  
🗑
associated with the more critical functions of life. constructed of anatomical structures found in the most inferior aspect of the brain.   hindbrain  
🗑
neurotransmitter CNS: associated with areas of the brain involved in directing and coordinating movement PNS: stimulates contraction of muscles at the neuromuscular junction   acetylcholine  
🗑
neurotransmitter CNS: primarily used by the brain stem PNS: primary neurotransmitter used by the sympathetic nervous system   norepinephrine  
🗑
neurotransmitter CNS: primarily found in brain stem. Associated with motivation and movemant PNS small role related to digestion   dopamine  
🗑
neurotransmitter CNS: found throughout the brain. Usually an inhibitory neurotransmitter. PNS: no role   GABA  
🗑
neurotransmitter CNS: found throughout the brain. Associated with consciousness and perception PNS: no role   serotonin  
🗑
neurotransmitter CNS: found throughout the brain. Usually an excitatory neurotransmitter. Associated with learning and memory formation PNS: no role   glutamate  
🗑
