Week 9: Discussion

In your textbook, the authors state: "The central nervous system (CNS) consists of the brain and spinal cord, which primarily interpret incoming sensory information and issue instructions based on past experience. The peripheral nervous system (PNS) consists of the cranial and spinal nerves, ganglia, and sensory receptors. These structures serve as communication lines as they carry impulses—from the sensory receptors to the CNS and from the CNS to the appropriate glands or muscles" (Marieb, Mitchell, & Smith, 2013, p. 276).

The overall learning objective for Week 9 in the laboratory course is to identify and describe the major structures associated with the human brain on diagram models. In addition, you will be asked to identify and describe the components and structures associated with simple reflex arcs. To successfully complete this assignment first read the following exercises from the Laboratory Manual: Exercise 17: Gross Anatomy of the Brain and Cranial Nerves and Exercise 21: Human Reflex Physiology.

The cerebrum consists of 6 distinct lobes: Frontal, Parietal, Temporal, Occipital, Insula, Limbic.
The frontal lobes are frontal to the central sulcus. They are important for planning and executing
purposeful and learned actions; as well as inhibitory functions.
The temporal lobes are integral to acoustic perception, receptive sound components, declarative
and visual memory, and emotion.
The occipital lobes contain the primary visual cortex and Visual association areas, which are
responsible visual perception.
The insula incorporates autonomic and sensory information from the viscera. It plays a role in
some temperature and pain aspects, insula processes, language functions, and taste.
The limbic lobes consists of components that receive inputs from variou...
