PERIPHERAL NERVOUS
SYSTEM(PNS)
It is the part of the nervous system outside
the CNS
The PNS includes all the nerves in our
body that brings messages to the CNS and
from the CNS to the muscles.
It consist mainly of the nerves that extend
from the brain and spinal cord.
CRANIAL NERVES carry impulses to and
from the brain
SPINAL NERVES carry impulses to and
from the brain
CEREBRUM
The Cerebrum is the largest part of
the brain. It consists of two surfaces.
The cerebral cortex and cerebral
medulla.
The cerebrum controls the senses,
thoughts, and movements.
Cerebellum
The cerebellum is seen at the back of
our head under the cerebrum.
It is a small cauliflower like structure.
It is responsible for movement,
balance, posture, etc. It handles
reflexes of eye movements. It often
takes over learned activities like
riding a bike or car.
MEDULLA OBLONGATA
Medulla oblongata merges
seamlessly with the spinal cord and
creates the base of the brain stem.
It is the primary control centre for
vital involuntary reflexes such as
swallowing, vomiting, sneezing,
coughing and regulation of
cardiovascular and respiratory
activity.
PONS
HYPOTHALAMUS
The Hypothalamus is situated under the
thalamus, at the top of the brainstem.
THALAMUS
BRAIN HEMISPHERITY
The brain is divided into two
hemispheres by a groove called
medial longitudinal fissure.
Corpus callosum connects the right
and left hemispheres and helps in
the communication of each side.
RETICULAR ACTIVATING
SYSTEM
A diffuse network of nerve pathways
in the brainstem connecting the
spinal cord, cerebrum, and
cerebellum, and mediating the
overall level of consciousness.
NEURON
Brain is made up of specialized cells
called neurons which transmits
chemicals and electrical signals in
the brain.
The neurons are made up of soma,
axon, dendrites, and synapses.
