Nervous system

 The nervous system is a complex collection

of nerves and specialized cells known as neurons
that transmit signals between different parts of the
body. It is essentially the body's electrical wiring.
 Structurally,the nervous system has two
components: the central nervous system and the
peripheral nervous system

Brain is organ of soft nervous tissue

contained in the skull of vertebrate
functioning as the coordinating
centre of the body
 PARTS OF BRAIN

 Human Brain is divided into 3

main parts on the basis of their
function and placements
The 3 main parts of Human
Brain are ;

1. Fore Brain
2. Mid Brain
3. Hind Brain
 FORE BRAIN
Position: It is the anterior part of the
brain

 It has 3 parts
1. Cerebrum
2. Thalamus
3. Limbic System
 THALAMUS

 Position: It is located
above the brain stem and
between the cerebral cortex
and mid-brain
 Function: It carries
sensory information from
the body to Cerebrum and
The Limbic System
 HYPOTHALAMUS & PITUITARY
GLAND
PITUITARY
HYPOTHALAMUS GLAND
 Structure: It is pea-
 Position: It lies under shaped structure
the
 Function: It is very
thalamus important in Growth and
 Function: It reproduction
connects the nervous
system with the
endocrine system via
pituitary gland
 LIMBIC SYSTEM

 Structure: It is arc shaped structure

between thalamus and
cerebrum

 Function: It controls
responses like
 Hunger
 Fear
 Thirst
 Anger
 CEREBRUM

Structure:
 It is divided into 2 halves called cerebral hemisphere
They communicate via corpus collosum
Cerebral cortex is the outer region
of Cerebrum
 FUNCTION OF CEREBRUM

 It helps In movement
 It controls speech
 It is responsible for sensory processing
 It determines the intelligence of the being
 MID-BRAIN

 Position: It is located
below the cerebral
cortex and above the
hind brain

 Function: It
controls reflex
movements of the
body and hearing
reflexes
 HIND-BRAIN

Position: It is present at
the backside(posterior) of
the Brain

Parts: It consists of
1. Cerebellum
2. Pons
3. Medulla Oblongata
 CEREBELLUM

 Meaning: It is latin for Little

Brain
 Position: It is located at the
back side of head
 Functions: It controls the
balance of the body and co-
ordinates the voluntary movement
of the body
 PONS

 Meaning: Pons mean

“Bridge”

 Position: It is
located
above medulla

 Function: It controls
sleep as well as the
rate and pattern of
 MEDULLA OBLONGATA

 Position: It is the posterior

part of the brain

 Function: It controls
automatic actions e.g
reflexes or reflex action
1. Breathing
2. Heart rate
3. Swallowing
4. Blood Circulation
