sensory neurons : pick up information about your external environment
motor neurons : send impulses to your muscles and glands
interneurons : are located only in the brain and spinal cord
meninges : Protective covering of the brain and spinal cord composed of 3 layers: dura mater, arachnoid mater, and pia mater
hypothalamus : regulates body temperature, sleep, water balance, and blood pressure
reticular Formation : arousal and attention
Cerebellum : functions in motor control, balance, cognition
Thalamus : sensory processing, states of arousal, memory; is relay station for the senses, receiving impulses from sense organs
Hypothalamus : regulation of hunger, thirst, aggression, sexual behavior, and the autonomic nervous system
Amygdala : recognition of danger; aggression
Hippocampus : Horseshoe shaped structure located within the temporal lobe responsible for consolidating new memories, emotional responses, and spatial orientation
Corpus callosum : connects the two cerebral hemispheres
hormones : "chemical messengers"
thyroid glands : synthesizes hormones that regulate the body's metabolism and control the level of calcium in the blood
follicle stimulating : stimulates growth and hormone production in the ovarian follicles if female individuals, production of sperm in male individuals
somatotropin : growth hormone, stimulates normal body growth
negative feedback : decrease in function in response to a stimulus
adrenocorticotropic : stimulate growth and secretion of the cortex of the adrenal gland
vasopressin : antidiuretic hormone
androgen : substance producing or stimulating the development of male characteristics
ENCEPHALITIS : Inflammation of the brain tissue, usually from an infection
CEREBROSPINALFLUID : Clear, colorless fluid produced by the choroid plexus inside the ventricles that flows within and around the brain and spinal cord to cushion from injury
HUNTINGTONDISEASE : Inherited nerve disorder affecting the brain; most common symptoms are dementia & difficulty controlling movements (chorea)
OCCIPITAL : Lobe of the brain for visual processing (color, light and movement)
PARKINSONSDISEASE : "Paralysis agitans "; progressive disorder of the nervous system affecting movement; s/s include rigidity, changes in speech and gait, tremor (most obvious sign)
BRAINSTEM : Made up of 3 parts: midbrain, medulla oblongata, and pons; connects the cerebrum to the spinal cord; contains centers for autonomic functions - i.e. breathing, BP, HR, digestion
PARASYMPATHETIC : Autonomic nervous system sometimes referred to as the "rest and digest" system
