Functions of the Cerebral Cortex
Intellectual processes: thought, intelligence.
Processes sensory information and integrates with past
experience to produce appropriate motor response.
Diencephalon - 2 Major Parts
Thalamus
– Relays stimuli received from all sensory neurons to cortex
for interpretation
– Relays signals from the cerebral cortex to the proper area
for further processing
Hypothalamus
– Monitors many parameters
temperature, blood glucose levels, various hormone levels
– Helps maintain homeostasis
– Signals the pituitary via releasing factors
– Signals the lower neural centers
Diencephalon
Cerebellum
Located behind the brainstem
Helps monitor and regulate
movement
Integrates postural
adjustments, maintenance of
equilibrium, perception of
speed, and other reflexes
related to fine tuning of
movement.
Brainstem
Sympathetic
– responsible for increasing activity in most systems (except GI)
– adrenergic fibers release epinephrine
Parasympathetic
– responsible for slowing activity in most systems (except GI)
– cholinergic fibers release acetylcholine
NERVOUS SYSTEM
• Messages carried by nervous system are electrical signals called impulses
• Cells that transmit these impulses are called neurons (basic units of nervous system)
– 3 types of neurons
1. Sensory
2. Motor
3. Interneurons
NEURONS
• Sensory: Carry impulses from sense organs (eyes, ears, etc) to the spinal cord and brain
• Motor: carry impulses from the brain and spinal cord to muscles and glands
• Interneurons: connect sensory and motor neurons and carry impulses between them
Sensory Nerves
• As a fetus in the womb, neurons develop at the rate of 250,000 per minute.
• We have about 100 billion nerve cells in our brain by adulthood (over 600 miles worth) – yet
we typically use around 4% at any given time
• Neurons are our largest cells
• Messages transmit at speeds up of to 180 MPH
