Peripheral Nervous System

Somatic

Autonomic

Sympathetic

Fight or Flight

Parasympathetic

Rest & Digest

Central Nervous System

Brain

Forebrain

Telencephalon

Cerebrum (2 cerebral hemispheres)

Frontal

Contains primary motor areas and thusregulates voluntary motor activity. The left(dominant) side is associated withlanguage (motor aspect).

Parietal

Initial cortical processing and perception oflimb position.

Occipital

Temporal

Processing of auditory information,involved in language, learning and feelings.

Processing of visual information association and recognition.

Involved with emotions and other reactionsto stimuli.

Limbic Lobe

Basal Ganglia

Associated with a variety of functions,including control of voluntary motormovements.

Hippocampus

Associated mainly with memory,particularly longterm memory, also playsan important role in spatial navigation.

Amygdala

The hypothalamus is responsible forthe regulation of certain metabolicprocesses and other activities of theautonomic nervous system.

Diencephalon

Subthalamus

Integration in voluntary movement andmuscle tone.

Hypothalamus

Midbrain

Responsible for auditoryand visual reflexes, as well as refining ofmotor movements.

Hindbrain

Pons

Medulla oblongata

Cerebellum

Spinal Cord

Thalamus

The main function of the thalamus is torelay motor and sensory signals to thecerebral cortex (except olfactory).

Responsible formovement as all voluntary motor stimuliare processed here.
