P0012A - Intelligent technology - Computing and the brainAssignment 04The nervous system is divided into the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The first signs of development are three extensions of the anterior end of the so-called neural tube that develop into the prosencephalon (forebrain), the midbrain (mesencephalon) and the hindbrain (hindbrain). Before birth the hindbrain and forebrain each divide into 2 extensions. The central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord. The outer part of the brain called the cerebral cortex. This part of the brain is responsible for the functioning of cognition, sensations, motor skills and emotions. The five main sections of the brain Myelencephalon (medulla oblongata with reticular formation (ARAS), which play a role in activation processes such as maintaining muscle tone, attention, sleep, cardiac and respiratory reflexes). Metencephalon = hindbrain (contains pons (pons) and cerebellum (cerebellum), which plays an important role in the sensorimotor system and in the coordination of muscle movement, is responsible for the position we assume, whether we maintain it or change it)Mesencephalon=mesencephalon (contains tectum , plays a role in visual and auditory function) and tigmentum (divided into tectum three structures: griseacentralis around the canal that connects the ventricle (cerebral aqueduct), plays a role in the painkilling (analgesic) effects of opiates), substantia nigra and nucleus ruberDiencephalon=intercephalon (composed of 2 structures: thalamus: important components of the sensorimotor (contracts the spinothalamic tract) and hypothalamus (contains the optic chiasm, the place where the optic nerves of both eyes cross at the anoc..... . in the center of the card ......saving nerves, swelling, sense of taste in the back of the tongue, 10. the sensorimotor vagus nerve gets projections and innervates cervical, thoracic and abdominal organs, 11. the accessory nerve sensorimotor receives projections from the cervical muscles, innervates the pharynx, the larynx, the trapezius muscle, 12. the sensorimotor hypoglossal nerve obtains projections and innervates the muscles of the tongue.Literature:John PJ Pine:l Biopsychologie 6., aktualisierte AuflageMark Orso, Michael Paradiso , Barry W.
