What to Focus On

  • Coordination means interaction between organs so that functions are complementary.
  • The nervous system is the fastest communication system in the body.
  • Neurons detect, receive, and transmit stimuli.

  • CNS consists of brain and spinal cord.
  • Three meninges protect the CNS: piamater, arachnoidmater, and duramater.
  • CSF lies between piamater and arachnoidmater.

  • Brain has three regions: forebrain, midbrain, hindbrain.
  • Forebrain = cerebrum + thalamus + hypothalamus.
  • Cerebrum has two hemispheres joined by corpus callosum.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The forebrain has only two parts: cerebrum and hypothalamus.

The auditory area is in the temporal lobe because hearing is usually linked with the temporal region.

Cerebral control and cerebellar control both act on the same side of the body.
