Parts of the brain

The brain.... I learned about the frontal lobe, parietal lobe, and occipital lobe and each of there locations. We then went into learning what the falx cerebelle was and this seperates the cerebellum hemisphers. Within the cerebellum is the muscle motor activity is coordinated from and the pre central gyrus is where the muscle impulses originate. We also learned locations of several parts of the brain like corpus callosum, septum pellucidum, fornix, anterior cerebral artery, frontal lobe, anterior commissure, tuberal area, fourth ventricle, cerebellum, and hypothalamus which to me was the most interesting of all. Here is a important control and integrative center. The hypothalmic may be stumulated by sensory information from the cerebrom, brain stem, and spinal cord, changes in the csf and lastle a chemical stimuli in the circulating blood. I recommend a Sagittal section view to me this was most helpful in understaning and seeing all the parts.

Today we talked about the Central nervous system. (CNS) Which is a portion of the nervous system that consists of the brain and spinal cord. We learned functions, mafor parts, meninges, nourishment, organization, skeletal prtection, and damage/repair. What i found to be most interesting is the funtions of the neurons which are responsibel for most of the unique funtions of the nervous system. The cell body contains a nucleus surrounded by cytoplasm within the cplasm organelles like lysomomers, mitochondria, and the Golgi complex are found here.
Most nuerons have an imput regions called dendrites that recieve information and integration region the cell body that analyzes all the information. Then the output is the axon and here the information is transmited toward another cell.
