- - - - hindbrain stucture located on top of the rest pf the brainstem. essential for noordination of volentary movement, balance and some forms of conditioning.
  - - - left
      - right
    - - frontal
      - parietal
      - temporal
      - occipital
    - - broca's area
        
        area in the forntal lobe. left hempisphere for right handed and most left handed.
      - wernicke's area
      - prefrontal cortex
      - primary motor cortex
      - primary sensory cortex
      - primary auditory cortex
      - primary visual cortex
- - - - a neuron fibre connected to the cell body of the neuron which receieves signals
    - - the part of the neuron that contains the neucleus
    - - the fibre that carries info away from the cell body of the neuron
    - - firbres that branch out from the end of the pre-synaptic neurons axon and link with the deprites of the post-synaptic neuron; responcible for releasing neurotransmitters into the synapse
    - - a fatty layer coating axons that proctect th eaxon and assits with the speedy delivery of nerve impulses
  - - - pre-synaptic neuron --> synapse --> post-synaptic neuron
    - - allows communication between neurons
    - - chemical that crosses the synaptic gap from the pre-synaptic neuron and attaches to the receptors on the post-synaptic neuron
      - chemcials released from the axon terminals that are absorbed by the dendrites.
    - - electrical charge is passed thru the neuron and chemical messengers are passed between neurons
- - - - sympathetic
        
        Alters the activity level of internal muscles, organs, and glands to physically prepare the body for increased activity during times of high stress (being chased by predators)
      - parasympathetic
        
        Maintains an energy level appropriate for normal bodily functioning Physically calms us after an event, by changing bodily functions altered by the sympathetic nervous system
      - the portion of the nervous system responsible for delivering motor signals from the brain to the body's glands and internal organs
        results in internal organs activating without your knowledge and sending signals to your brain about the level of activity of those organs eg. breathing
    - - sensory
      - motor
      - The somatic nervous system is crucial for keeping track of several bodily processes, like processing sensory infomation and volentary skeletal muscle movements
