What else can I help you with?
What part of the brain is located outside the cranium?
The spinal cord is part of the central nervous system that extends from the brainstem to the lower back and can be considered outside the cranium. It is housed within the spinal canal of the vertebral column.
What level of the central nervous system plays a role in influencing the autonomic nervous system?
cerebral cortex, hypothalamus, brainstem and basal nuclei
Is the brain is the spinal cavity?
No, the brain is located in the cranial cavity of the skull, while the spinal cord is located in the spinal cavity within the vertebral column. The brain and spinal cord are part of the central nervous system and are connected by the brainstem.
Spinal Cord?
The spinal cord is a long, thin, tubular structure made up of nervous tissue that extends from the medulla oblongata in the lower brainstem to the lumbar region of the vertebral column (backbone) of vertebrate animals.
All nervous tissue outside of the central nervous system is part of this nervous system?
The peripheral nervous system is made up of all the nerves outside the central nervous system.
How does the brainstem interact with the other organ's in the nervous system?
yes
Which of the body cavities contain the central nervous system?
The central nervous system is contained within the dorsal body cavity, specifically within the cranial cavity (which houses the brain) and the vertebral canal (which houses the spinal cord).
Three differences between sensory neurone and motor neurone?
# Motor neurones have cell bodies inside the Central Nervous System (CNS) whilst in sensory neurones the cell body is located outside of the CNS # Motor neurones transmit impulses from the CNS to the effector which brings about a response to the situation, sensory neurones transmit impulses from to the CNS from the receptor. # Sensory neurones transmit impulses as a result of external stimuli such as pressure, light, temperature etc. Motor neurone transmit impulses passed along the CNS to the effector.
What runs through the center of the vertebral column?
The spinal cord runs through the center of the vertebral column, protected by the vertebral bones. It is a crucial part of the central nervous system, responsible for transmitting messages between the brain and the rest of the body. Injury to the spinal cord can result in serious neurological deficits.
Portion of the brainstem composed of myelinated nerve fibers that connects to the cerebellum?
The portion of the brainstem composed of myelinated nerve fibers that connects to the cerebellum is the peduncles. The peduncles serve as pathways for communication between the cerebellum and other parts of the central nervous system, allowing for coordination of movement and balance.
How does the nervous system control breathing?
It does this autonomically (and automatically!) via the brainstem cells and receptors.
Which part of the CNS is made up of the mid-brain?
The midbrain is part of the brainstem, which is located in the central nervous system. It plays a role in motor movement, auditory and visual processing, and regulation of consciousness and sleep.
