| Regulation | Is achieved by both the nervous system and the endocrine system in humans |
| Impulses | Neurons are used for the transmission of |
| Neurons | The nervous system is made up of nerve cells called |
| Sensory neuron | Transmit impulses from the sense organs (receptors) to the spinal cord |
| Interneuron | Found in the spinal cord and brain |
| Motor neuron | Transmit impulses from the brain and spinal cord to effectors (muscle or gland) |
| Central Nervous System | Consist of a brain and spinal cord |
| Brain | Is a large mass of neurons located in the cranium (skull) |
| Cerebrum | Center of control for: voluntary body movements, 5 senses, and memory |
| Cerebellum | Coordinates motor activities and aids in maintaining balance |
| Medulla | Involuntary activities like breathing and heartbeat |
| Spinal Cord | Extends from the brain and is protected by the vertebrae of the spinal column |
| Spinal Cord | Coordinates activities between the brain and other body structures |
| Somatic Nervous System | Consist of nerves that regulate voluntary muscles of the skeleton |
| Autonomic Nervous System | Consists of nerves that regulate involuntary actions like heartbeat and gland secretions |
| Cerebral Palsy | A group of diseases caused by damage to the parts of the brain that control voluntary movement that occurs during embryonic development |
| Meningitis | Inflammation of the membrane that surrounds the brain and spinal cord |
| Stroke | A disorder in which the brain is damaged as a result of cerebral hemorrhage (a broken vessel in the brain) or a blood clot in a blood vessel located in the brain |
| Polio | A viral disease of the central nervous system which may result in paralysis and is now prevented through immunization |
