the sun)
 LOBES
Last week: rotational departmentalized duty exam o frontal lobe:
-conceptualization
------------------------------------------- -abstraction
-motor ability
NERVOUS SYSTEM -judgement formation,
ability to write words
o Parietal lobes:
FUNCTIONS -identifies body parts
1. Receives stimuli from internal and -discrimination of right
external environment versus left
2. Communicates information between -interpret and coordinate
peripheral to the central nervous system center
3. Process information received to determine -interpretation of sensory
the response information
4. To transmit information rapidly to the o Temporal lobe:
motor pathway -memory storage (short and
long memory)
Neuron are the basic structural function unit of -integration of audio
the nervous system stimulation
o Occipital lobe:
PARTS: -visual center
-understanding written
1. Cell body
2. Dendrite – receives information from material
axon terminals called:
Synapse – and transmit information to the  CENTERS
cell body the transmission in the synapse o speech center – function of
could be excitatory or inhibitory, dominant hemisphere of
brain
excitatory transmission: acetylcholine, o Brocas area –
norepinephrine, dopamine, serotonin -left frontal lobe; known as
the motor expressive speech
Inhibitory: Gamma Butyric acid (brain), center,
Glycin (spinal cord) -enables person to speak
clearly, audibly and make
3. Axon – transmit info. Away from the cell gestures
body to the adjacent neurons because the o Wernicke’s -
transmission of a stimuli is like current
until
Myelin sheath – covers axon; interrupted
by: 2. Cerebellum
