What is the yellow structure in this picture? It controls movement of information from brain to rest of body.

• Cerebrum

• Cerebellum

• Brain Stem

In which of the following nervous system disorders do nervous tissues degenerate?

• Alzheimer's Disease

• Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

• Both of the above

• None of the above

15. Describe the difference between the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system.

• See something through your eye and your neurons will send a message through the spinal cord then to the brain stem then to the diencephalon then the diencephalon tells the message where to go

• SNA controls both voluntary behaviors and spinal reflexes

  ANS controls involuntary activities of body organs, has two subdivisions, sympathetic division, Fight or flight

• 12 pairs of cranial nerves (go to head and neck), 31 pairs of spinal nerves (go to rest of body)

• Sympathetic division

  Fight or flight response

  parasympathetic division

  Decreases respiration and heart rate and increases digestion
