central nervous system - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔brain and spinal cord
|| || || || || || || || ||
peripheral nervous system - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔the sensory and motor
|| || || || || || || || || ||
neurons that connect the central nervous system to the rest of the body
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
autonomic nervous system - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔the part of the
|| || || || || || || || || ||
peripheral nervous system that controls the glands and the muscles of the

Adrenal medulla - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔portion of the adrenal gland
|| || || || || || || || || ||
that secretes epinephrine and norepinephrine
|| || || ||
parasympathetic nervous system - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔controls || || || || || || ||
functions during a relaxed state, secretes acetylcholine
|| || || || || ||
,supports activities involved with increases in body's supply of stored energy,
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
such as salivation, gastric, and intestinal motility
|| || || || || ||
three divisions of human brain - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔forebrain -
|| || || || || || || || || ||

outmost layer of gray matter of the cerebral hemisphere that is 3mm thick
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||
contains 26 billion neurons || || ||
glia and cell bodies, gray matter
|| || || || ||
includes the neocortex and the limbic cortex
|| || || || || ||
Frontal lobe - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔involved in speaking and muscle
|| || || || || || || || || ||
movements, in making plans and judgments and emotional control
|| || || || || || || ||

cortex
surface of the body is mapped on the surface of the brain (penfield studies)
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||
