    • loss of muscle tone
    • reeling walk
    • loss of equilibrium
  20. What are the functions of the CNS?
    sensory, integrative and motor functions
  21. What are the two parts of the CNS?
    brain adn spinal cord
  22. What is the name of the fluid that lets the brain take in nutrients and remove wastes with blood?
    CSF
  23. Whta is the largest part of the brain?
    cerebrum
  24. What increases the surface area of the cerebrum
    convolutions
  25. If someone had a stroke in his brain adn couldn't use the muscles on the right side of the face, which hemisphere of the brain had the stroke?
    left side
  26. What are the four main lobes of the cerebral cortex?
    • frontal
    • parietal
    • occipital
    • temporal
  27. What connects the two brain hemispheres/
    corpus callosum
  28. What are the two parts of the diencephalon?
    • thalamus
    • hypothalamus
  29. What part of the brain regulates balance, coordinates and smoothes movements?
    cerebellum
  30. What brain part receives sensory info and relays it to the cerebral cortex?
    thalamus
  31. What controls recognition and analysis of body temp?
    hypothalamus
  32. What are the three parts of the brain stem?
    • midbrain

  33. What connects the brain to the PNS?
    spinal cord
  34. Certain kinds of info are processed in the spinal cord. Give one example.
    houses spinal reflexes
  35. WHy would it be good for certain info to be processed directly in the spinal cord?
    it leads automatically to the brain, resulting in a faster response
  36. Why does paralysis occur when a person gets a spinal cord injury?
