nerve
]P
cerebrum – controls behaviour, memory, consciousness and all sensory and movement activities
cerebellum – controls balanc-ing organs and fine voluntary movements
medulla oblongata – controls involun-tary functions such as heartbeat and breathing
first, second and eighth cranial nerves – carry sensory information to the brain from the nose, ears and eyes. The other nine cranial nerves carry information to and from the brain from the face, tongue, eyes, internal organs and shoulder muscles.
spinal nerves – branch out from between adjacent vertebrae; sensory and motor neurons in each nerve.Nerves split in three:
spinal cord – transmits impulses
nerves to and from the body
