- The nervous system
- The peripheral nervous system
- The automatic nervous system
- plays an important role in homeostasis- the maintaining of body temp
- sympathetic nervous system
- Responsible for fight/flight responses such as vascular shunt
- parasympathetic nervous system
- Responsible for relaxing the body after exercise by lowering HR and allowing digestion to restart
- similarities- The sympathetic nervous system and the somatic nervous system both respond to external stimuli.
- The somatic nervous system
- communicates between the outside world and the brain through sensory receptors
- Has motor programs which allow the brain to control movement
- Differences-The ANS controls hormones and glands but the Somatic nervous system controls muscles and movement.

- Brain
- Provides conscious awareness for all psychological processes
- occipital lobe- Visual information
- Frontal lobe- responsible for higher order functions such as: planning, reasoning, and logic
- Temporal lobe- auditory information
- Parietal lobe- Intergrates information from the different senses
- Spinal cord
- Passes info to and from the brain to the rest of the body, handles simple reflex such as recoiling from pain.
- Similarities - Both control involuntary processes, The brain stem controls breathing the spine controls involuntary reflex

- Brain
- differences- The brain controls higher thinking and functioning whereas the spine only controls simple reflexes. Also the brain has many different functions but the spine only has one
- Brain stem- connects brain and spinal chord- controls involuntary processes such as Heart beat
