animals with internal skeletal/bone structures, size and mobility gives them a survival advantage, often control and dominate environment
1 of 26
Vertebrate nervous system
most nerves found within a central region associated with storage and processing
2 of 26
Central nervous system
comprises brain and spinal cord, huge variation
3 of 26
Brain stem
controls basic, autonomic functions
4 of 26
Cerebellum
integrates sensory and motor movements
5 of 26
Cerebrum
complex behaviour, emotions, learning, memory
6 of 26
Shark brain
very simple, few complex behaviours hence little or no cerebrum/cerebellum, mainly deals with autonomic function, sensory input + motor response (brain stem)
7 of 26
Alligator brain
little more complex, more developed brain stem, olfactory bulb + cerebellum, sensory activity required in + out of water, motor responses can be complex, little or no cerebrum
8 of 26
Pig brain
more complex, socially aware, displays personality + memory, highly developed sense of smell, co-ordinated + precise motore + sensory systems, courtesy of developed cerebrum + cerebellum
9 of 26
Human brain
highly complex, most prominent area is cerebrum, complex behaviour, socially aware + conscious, capable of advanced learning and memory, complex personality structure, highly evolved cerebellum, huge amount of integration
10 of 26
Neural tube
hollow tube of tissue that runs length of early embryos on dorsal surface, structures become more folded but maintain divisions
11 of 26
Cerebellum
intricate control of motor and sensory function
12 of 26
Pons and Medulla
connects spinal cord and brain, control involuntary functions
13 of 26
Midbrain
part of brain stem, number of structures associated with sensory inputs mainly vision and olfaction
14 of 26
Telencephalon
cerebrum, divided into two hemispheres, complex array of lobes, perception, learning, memory, conscious behaviour
15 of 26
Dienceophalon
consists of thalamus and hypothalamus
16 of 26
Thalamus
final sensory relay between spinal cord and forebrain
17 of 26
Hypothalamus
regulates many functions e.g. temperature, thirst, hunger
18 of 26
Corpus callosum
allows cerebral hemispheres to communicate
19 of 26
Grey matter
mainly neuronal cell bodies
20 of 26
White matter
mainly axons
21 of 26
Outer region
cerebral cortex, grey matter forms layer over brain surface
22 of 26
Gyri/gyrus
ridges
23 of 26
Sulci/sulcus
valleys
24 of 26
Boxing glove appearance (left side)
thumb is temporal lobe, curled fingers are frontal lobe, back of hand is parietal lobe, wrist is occipital lobe
25 of 26
Contralateral control
right hemisphere controls left side of body and vice versa
