The Central Nervous System...

controls your brain and your spinal cord.

What does the medulla control and what happens when it is damaged? (select 2 answers)

Swallowing, breathing and heart rhythm, damage would be life threatening

Peripheral Nervous System

nerves that are not part of the brain or spinal cord.

What does the occipital lobe do?

controls the processing of visual information

are found only in the central nervous system

Selective attention is..?

Focusing conscious awareness on a particular stimulus

What do Axon Terminals do?

They store and release neurotransmitters into the synaptic cleft, They receive neurotransmitters inside the synaptic cleft
