- - - - Cerebrum
        
        Right Cortex
        
        Left Cortex
        
        Lobes
        
        Frontal
        
        Reasoning and thought
        
        Parietal
        
        Integrates sensory information
        
        Temporal
        
        Processes auditory information from the ears
        
        Occipital
        
        Processing visual information from the eyes
      - Cerebellum
        
        Located below the cerebrum and above the 1st cervical of the neck
        
        In charge of
        
        Muscle coordination
        
        Balance
        
        Posture
        
        Muscle tone
      - Diencephalon
        
        Between the cerebrum and the midbrain
        
        It contains
        
        Hypothalamus
        
        Controls and regulates temperature, appetite, water, balance sleep and blood vessel constriction and dilation
        
        Emotions
        
        Anger
        
        Fear
        
        Pleasure
        
        Pain
        
        Affection
        
        Thalamus
        
        Direct sensory impulses to the cerebrum
      - Midbrain
        
        Located below the cerebrum
        
        Responsible for eye and auditory reflexes
      - Pons
        
        Located below midbrain (in brainstem)
        
        Responsible for certain reflex action
      - Medulla Oblongata
        
        Located at the bottom of the brainstem
        
        Connects to the spinal cord
        
        Responsible for
        
        Heart and blood vessel function
        
        Digestion
        
        Respiration
        
        Swallowing
        
        Coughing
        
        Sneezing
        
        Blood pressure
        
        Also known as "The Center for Respiration"
  - - - Cervical
      - Thoracic
      - Lumbar
      - Spinal nerves
        
        Afferent Spinal Nerves
        
        Carries information from the body to the brain
        
        Deferent Spinal Nerves
        
        Carries information from the brain to the body
- - - - Carrying motor and sensory information
      - Nearly all voluntary muscle movements
    - - Nerves that connect to skin, sensory organs and skeletal muscles
    - - Sensory information from external stimuli
    - - Afferent sensory neurons
        
        Conducting inward
        
        Take information from the nerves to the central nervous system
      - Efferent motor neurons
        
        Conducting outward
        
        Take information from the central nervous system to the muscle fibers throughout the body
  - - - "fight or flight"
        
        Revs up the body to either defend yourself or escape the threat
    - - Counter balance to sympathetic responce to danger
        
        Brings all the systems of the body back to normal
