neurology
brain knowledge by Lovest
the makeup of the brain and it's activities.
the parts that comprise the brain
Temporal lobes- located at the sides of the brain and is involved in hearing
Occipital lobe- located at the back of the brain and controls sight
Cerebellum- located behind the brainstem and below everything else, it is involved in co-ordination and balancing.
Parietal lobe- receives sensory input, located behind frontal lobe.
neurons and their make up
Axon- extension that passes messages through branches to other neurons or muscles.
Myelin sheath- a fatty coating that covers the Axon and allows for faster transmission
messages and their journey through neurons
Refractory period- a period of inactivity after a neuron has fired.
Threshold- the level of stimulation required to trigger a neural impulse
Synapse- the Junction between the Axon tip of the sending
Neuron and the receiving cell's dendrites or cell body.
How neurology effects the body
The brain's role in everyday things.
the brain is just as important in physical functions as the bones and muscle it sends signals to.
