| brainstem | controlls the involutary basic life functions such as breathing, and heart beat. |
| cerebellum | controls the movement of the voluntary muscles |
| cerebrum | deals mostly with high level thinking |
| corpus callosum | allows the two hemispheres of the brain to exchange information. |
| cerebral cortex | outer layer of cerebrum/consists of gray matter |
| frontal lobe | control of conscious thought, muscles, motor speech |
| temporal lobe | controls hearing |
| parietal lobe | controls body sense perception/sensory speech |
| occipital lobe | controls vision |
| gray matter | found on outside of brain/inside of spinal cord, is composed of the cell bodies of neurons |
| white matter | found on inside of brain/outside of spinal cord,is composed of the axons of the neurons in the gray matter |
| paralysis | loss of voluntary movement |
| Cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) | protects the brain and spinal cord |
| optic nerve | cranial nerve connecting brain to eyes |
| autonomic nervous system (ANS) | consists of neurons that conduct impulses from the CNS to heart, smooth muscle, and glands |
| sensory nervous system | the system of nerves which carries information from the body's receptors to the CNS |
| Motor Nervous system | The system of nerves which carries the instructions from the CNS to the Skeletal muscles. |
| Central nervous system (CNS) | composed of brain and spinal cord |
| Parasympathetic division | part of the ANS slows the heart rate and lowers the blood pressure |
| Sympathetic division | part of the ANS increases rate and strength of the heartbeat and raises the blood pressure. Simulates liver to increase glucose output for fright or flight response. |
