PSYCH 101 Lecture Notes - Lecture 7: Midbrain, Sympathetic Nervous System, Neuropsychological Test
Document Summary
Three major types of neurons the carry out functions: and brain. Sensory neurons carry input messages from the sense organ to the spinal cord. Motor neurons transmit output impulses from the brain and spinal cord to the. Interneurons link input and output function, perform connective or associative muscles and organs functions with the nervous system. Allow connection with mental functions, emotion, and behavioural. Peripheral nervous system contains all neural structures that lie outside of the brain capabilities and spinal cord. Neurons help carry input and output functions to sense and respond to stimuli. Somatic nervous system consists of sensory neurons that transmit messages from sensory receptors (eyes, ears, etc. ) and motor neurons that send messages from the brain and spinal cord to muscles controlling voluntary movements. Autonomic nervous system controls glands and smooth (involuntary) muscles (heart, blood vessels, etc. ) Concerned with involuntary functions (respiration, circulation, digestion, etc. )
