NERVOUS SYSTEM - Coggle Diagram

- - - - CEREBRAL HEMISPHERE - one half of the cerebrum, the part of the brain that controls muscle functions and also controls speech, thought, emotions, reading, writing, and learning.
      - BASAL NUCLEI - a group of subcortical structures found deep within the white matter of the brain.
    - - PONS - part of the central nervous system, located at the base of the brain, between the medulla oblongata and the midbrain
      - MIDBRAIN - the topmost part of the brainstem, the connection central between the brain and the spinal cord.
      - MEDULLA - the bottom-most part of your brain.
    - - EPITHALAMUS - connect the limbic system to other parts of the brain.
      - DORSAL THALAMUS - is a part of the diencephalon, the more caudal of the two components of the forebrain
      - HYPOTHALAMUS - influencing your autonomic nervous system or by managing hormones.
      - SUBTHALAMUS - located at the junction of the midbrain and diencephalon
  - - - DESCENDING TRACT - the pathways by which motor signals are sent from the brain to the spinal cord
      - INTERNEURONS - are the ones in between - they connect spinal motor and sensory neurons
      - ASCENDING TRACTS - sensory pathways that begin at the spinal cord and stretch all the way up to the cerebral cortex
- - - - CRANIAL NERVE - cranial nerves are a set of 12 paired nerves in the back of your brain. Cranial nerves send electrical signals between your brain, face, neck and torso. Your cranial nerves help you taste, smell, hear and feel sensations.
        
        GANGLIA - a structure containing a number of nerve cell bodies, typically linked by synapses, and often forming a swelling on a nerve fiber.
        
        SPINAL NERVE- serves as a reflex center conduction pathway, connecting the brain to the periphery.
    - - MOTOR (EFFERENT) NEURONS
        
        PARASYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM - Responsible for control of the resting state; rest and response.
      - AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM
        
        SYMPATETHIC NERVOUS SYSTEM - Responsible for control of stressed state: or flight.
      - SENSORY (AFFERENT) DIVISION
        
        SOMATIC SENSORY FIBERS
        
        VISCERAL SEONSORY FIBERS
- - - - AXON - responsible for transmitting the electric signals between these brain cells.
      - DENDRITES - reception of stimuli from other neurons.
        
        NISSL BODIES -responsible for the synthesis of proteins which flow along the dendrites and the axon and replace the proteins which are broken down during cellular activity.
