system
Somatic Nervous System - ANSWER Voluntary division of the peripheral nervous system
that controls the body's skeletal muscles
Two divisions of the Autonomic Nervous System - ANSWER Sympathetic and
Parasympathetic
Autonomic Nervous System - ANSWER Controls "involuntary activity" in the heart,
stomach, and intestines to maintain homeostasis.

stimulates or increases activity of organs.
Parasympathetic Nervous System - ANSWER Rest and Digest, the subdivision of the
autonomic nervous system that relaxes the body conserving its energy
Brain tissue is classified as either ________or __________ ___________ - ANSWER Grey or
white matter
Grey matter consists of - ANSWER nerve cell bodies and dendrites; the working area of
,the brain that contains synapses and is the area of neuronal activity.
White matter - ANSWER the myelinated axons of neurons
Outermost surface of the brain (cerebral cortex) is structured to contain grooves and
dips of corrugated wrinkles within the brain tissue that provide _______________________ -
ANSWER anatomical landmarks or reference points. It also increases brain surface
area to expand working area and communication area
Grooves and dips of brain are named by________ & __________ - ANSWER size and depth
Sulci - ANSWER SHALLOW grooves or furrows in the cerebral hemispheres.
Fissures ANSWER Deep grooves in the brain
Cerebrum ANSWER The largest part of the brain which is divided into 2 halves (right and
left cerebral hemispheres).
Gyri ANSWER Elevated ridges of tissue in the cerebral hemispheres.
The brain is divided into the _____________ and _______________ ANSWER cerebrum and
brainstem
Left hemisphere of cerebrum ANSWER Dominant in most people, controls most
right-sided body functions.
Right Hemisphere of cerebrum - ANSWER Controls the left side of the body; creative,
intuitive, spacial
Corpus callosum - ANSWER The largest bundle of white matter (axons) connecting th
,two cerebral hemispheres.
Each of the 2 hemispheres of the cerebrum is divided into: - ANSWER four major lobes
which work in an integrated and interactive mannerand with discint function
Four lobes of the cerebrum - ANSWER frontal, parietal, occipital, temporal
Frontal lobe- ANSWER Part of the brain associated with motor control, coordination,

(Wernicke's area),
, Wernicke's area - ANSWER part of the temporal lobe involved in receiving and
understanding speech
Problems in temporal lobe can lead to: - ANSWER visual or auditory hallucinations,
aphasia, amnesia
Occipital lobe function - ANSWER visual processing
Occipital lobe problems can cause: - ANSWER visual field defects, blindness, visual
hallucinations
Parietal lobe - ANSWER A region of the cerebral cortex whose functions include
processing information about touch, taste, reading and writing
