    The lecture outline discusses the major divisions and components of the nervous system. It begins by reviewing neuron communication and neurotransmitters. It then describes the peripheral nervous system, including the sensory and motor divisions. It discusses the major areas of the cerebrum, including the frontal, parietal, temporal and occipital lobes, as well as the primary motor and sensory areas. It also outlines other brain divisions like the brain stem, cerebellum, thalamus and hypothalamus. Finally, it covers the spinal cord, reflex arc, and autonomic nervous system including the parasympathetic and sympathetic divisions.

     Areas of Cerebrum

    • Frontal lobe

    • Parietal lobe

    • Temporal lobe

    • Occipital lobe

     Sensory & Motor Areas of Cerebrum

    • Primary Motor Area, Located ‘across’ frontal lobes

    • Primary Somatosensory Area, Located ‘across’ parietal lobes

     Other divisions of the brain

    • Cerebrum

    • Brain Stem

    • Cerebellum

     Brain Injury
    • Acquired Brain Injury = Cerebrovascular accident

    Causes:

    • Traumatic Brain Injury

    Causes:

     Spinal Cord
    • Transmits signals
    Connects to medulla

    • Contains interneurons associated with reflexes

     Reflex Arc - Circuit of neurons in spinal cord prewired to response to stimuli

    • Speeds responses

    • Major Components:

     Autonomic Nervous System – Two parts:

    • Parasympathetic NS
    “Resting-n-Digesting”
    Individual organ responses
    Directs blood to digestive tract
    Page 3 of 4
    • Sympathetic NS
    “Fight-or-Flight”
    All effects at once
    Acts via adrenaline (epinephrine, norepinephrine)
