Components
• Central – Brain– Spinal cord
• Peripheral– Somatic– Autonomic
• Parasympathetic• Sympathetic
Anatomyphysiology
• Brain is divided into diff. Sections– cerebral hemispheres
• Frontal
• Temporal
• Parietal
• occipital
– Diencephalon
– Midbrain
– Pons
– Medulla Oblongata
– Cerebellum
fr
CENTRAL• Consist
– Spinal cord– Brain– White matter
• axons
– Grey matter• cell bodies• Branched dendrites
Peripheral NS
• Consists– Sensory nerves
• Sends info to spinal cord and brain
– Motor nerves• Carries messages from sc and b to other body parts
• Subdivided– Sensory-somatic NS– Autonomic NS
Sensory-Somatic NS
• Consists of– Sensory division (afferent division)
• Receives signals from nerves and tissues• Sends to cranial and spinal nerves
– Motor division (efferent div.)• Contains pathways from spinal cord and brain stem to
lower neurons in spinal and cranial nerves
Ans
• Consists of – sensory neurons and motor
neurons that are in the CNS and organs
– Two subdivisions• sympathetic nervous system • parasympathetic nervous
system
• Involuntary actions• Uses two groups of motor
neurons– preganglionic neurons– postganglionic neurons
