An Overview Of Nervous System Nervous systems perform the three overlapping functions of sensory input integration motor output CNS Brain Spinal cord PNS Sensory (input) Signals from external environment Signals from skin, tendons, and muscles Signals from internal organs Motor (output) Somatic division (control of skeletal muscle) Autonomic division (autonomic control of smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands) Parasympathetic Sympathetic Endocrine (Hormone) *Video by bozemanbiology via YouTube Peripheral nervous system (PNS). Sensory receptors a responsive to external and internal stimuli. Such sensory input is conveyed to integration centers. Where in the input is interpreted an associated with a response.

Chapter 2: Neuroscience and Behavior History of Mind Ancient Conceptions About Mind Plato correctly placed mind in the brain. However, his student Aristotle believed that mind was in the heart. Today, all that is psychological is also biological. Phrenology 1800, Franz Gall theorized that bumps on the skull represented mental abilities. Wrong, but opened the perspective that different parts of the brain controlled different functions. Biological psychologist: studies links btwn biological activity and psychological events. Neural Communication Neurons: billions of interconnected nerve cells => body?s info system We are a biopsycholosocial system. cell -> organ -> system -> individual -> family -> ethnic -> community
