Document Summary

Frontal/coronal plane: divides body into front and back halves. Sagittal plane: divides body into right and left halves. Transverse plane: divides body into upper and lower halves. Oral cavity, nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea. Connective tissue: binds and supports tissues and organs. Epithelial tissue: outer layer of the mucous membrane and lining of cavities. Frontal lobe: cognition, motor activity, and spoken language (contains broca"s area - language expression). Parietal lobe: body senses such as touch, vibrations, pressure, pain, and temperature. Occipital lobe: visual information, projects to parietal and temporal lobes. Temporal lobe: auditory information (contains wernicke"s area - language comprehension). Beneath the broca"s area of the frontal lobe. Cerebral cortex: lining of the brain, responsible for voluntary function. Cerebellum: sits behind cerebral cortex and brainstem, connects body senses with motor planning so that the motor act is planned well. Brainstem: where cranial nerves arise (contains medulla oblongata - houses cranial nerves). Central nervous system (cns): brain and spinal cord.
