| There are three main parts in
the whole system: - brain - spinal cord - nerves If you want to get more precise with the brain (I’ll explain in the functions link) - cerebrum - cerebellum - frontal lobe - temporal lobe - parietal lobe - occipital lobe - brainstem If you want to get more precise with the spinal cord (I’ll explain in the functions link) - gray matter - white matter - cranial nerves - spinal nerves - cerebrospinal fluid This is the vocabulary for the words that you don’t know. Cerebrospinal fluid- this fluid flows in the spinal cord and protects and nourishes the brain and spinal cord. It acts as a shock absorber and collects nutrients from the blood. It floats through the gray matter. Stimuli- what causes a reactions. Cerebral- this means of the brain. Like if you are doing something cerebral you are doing something in thought. Sensory perception- is the ability to perceive the 5 senses. Voluntary muscle- are the muscles controlled by command. |
