Lesson 451 of 1524
Assessment of the Neurological System
The brain is the organ responsible for sensation , movement, emotions, responses, thought processing, communication, and memory.
Practice this chapterThe brain is the organ responsible for sensation , movement, emotions, responses, thought processing, communication, and memory. The CNS includes the brain and spinal cord and is responsible for receiving, processing, and responding to sensory information.
The spinal cord sends motor commands from the brain to the peripheral body and also relays sensory information from sensory organs to the brain. The PNS includes the cranial nerves, spinal nerves, and autonomic nervous system .
autonomic nervous system — the division of the nervous system that regulates the involuntary body functions to maintain and restore homeostasis. brain — the organ responsible for sensation , movement, emotions, responses, thought processing, communication, and memory. response — actions or changes triggered by sensory stimuli or input. sensation — receiving information about the environment.
Worked example
What does “autonomic nervous system” mean in Assessment of the Neurological System?
- 1Use the wording this chapter gives for autonomic nervous system.
- 2The book says: the division of the nervous system that regulates the involuntary body functions to maintain and restore homeostasis.
- 3Do not use the meaning of brain. That term means the organ responsible for sensation , movement, emotions, responses, thought processing, communication, and memory.
Result: the division of the nervous system that regulates the involuntary body functions to maintain and restore homeostasis
Why. That is the meaning this chapter gives for autonomic nervous system.
Do not swap autonomic nervous system and brain. autonomic nervous system means the division of the nervous system that regulates the involuntary body functions to maintain and restore homeostasis. brain means the organ responsible for sensation , movement, emotions, responses, thought processing, communication, and memory.
