6. Organs of the nervous
system can be divided
into two groups:
The central
nervous system
(CNS) is composed of
the brain and spinal
cord.

7. The peripheral
nervous system (PNS)
is made up of
peripheral nerves that
connect the CNS to the
rest of the body.
31 pairs of spinal
nerves
12 pairs of cranial
nerves

8. Peripheral Nervous
System
PNS can be subdivided into
2 divisions:
(1) Autonomic
Cranial & spinal nerves
connecting CNS to heart,
stomach, intestines, glands
Controls unconscious
activities

9. Peripheral Nervous System
(2) Somatic
Cranial & spinal nerves connecting CNS to skin
& skeletal muscles
Oversees conscious activities

15. Retrieval of a Memory
A memory is not a
snapshot stored in
the brain – it must be
put together from
information stored in
various parts of the
brain

16. Anatomy of the Brain
Cerebellum : at base of
brain
-Responsible for:
- Muscle coordination
- Balance
- Posture

17. Cerebrum -The largest division of the brain. It is
divided into two hemispheres, each of which is
divided into four lobes.

Reflex center for eye muscles.
Also involved with processing visual and
auditory information (connects head
movements with visual and auditory stimuli).
