The Neurologic System contains the

Central Nervous System and the Peripheral Nervous System

The Central Nervous System is made up of the

Brain and Spinal Cord

The cerebral cortex is the______ outer layer

cerebrum's

The cerebral cortex governs

Thought, memory, reasoning, sensation and voluntary movement

Each half of the cerebrum is a

hemisphere

Each hemisphere of the cerebral cortex is divided into

Four lobes

The frontal lobe contains areas that control

Personality, behavior, emotions and intellectual function

The frontal lobe also contains Broca's area which mediates

Motor speech

The parietal lobe contains the

Postcentral Gyrus, which is the primary center for sensation

The occipital lobe is the primary

Visual Receptor Center

The temporal lobe is located

Behind the ear

The temporal lobe has the

Primary auditory reception center

The Primary Auditory Reception Center has functions of

Hearing, taste and smell

The primary auditory reception center contains Wernicke's area, which is associated with

language comprehension

Basal Ganglia is located in the

Central Nervous System

Thalamus is located in the

Central Nervous System

Hypothalamus is located in the

Central Nervous System

The cerebellum is located in the

Central Nervous System

The brainstem is located in the

Central Nervous System

The spinal cord is located in the

Central Nervous System

The basal ganglia are large bands of

gray matter

Basal ganglia help coordinate

movement

The thalamus is the

main relay station

The hypothalamus is a major respiratory center with basic vital functions, such as

Temperature, Heart Rate, blood pressure, sleep, appetite and other functions

The cerebellum is concerned with

Motor coordination of voluntary movements, equilibrium and muscle tone

The brain stem is the

Central core of the brain

The brain stem consists mostly of

nerve fibers

The brainstem contains the

midbrain, pons and medulla oblongata

The spinal cord is a _____  _______  structure of ______ _________.

Long cylindrical, nervous tissue

The spinal cord occupies the

Upper two-thirds of the vertebral canal, from the medulla to lumbar vertebrae L1 to L2.

The spinal cord is the main highway for fiber tracts that connect the

brain to the spinal nerves

The spinal cord mediates

Posture control, urintation and pain response
