• Central nervous system

Fluid produced in the brain ventricles, provides nutrients, hormone, waste products, gases etc.

• Cerebral Spinal Fluid

• Hormon

• Mucos

• Plasma

Portion of cerebrum generates motor commands, language, planning and other high-level functions

• Frontal

• Temporal

• Parietal

• Occipital

posterior lobes of the cerebrum; contain visual processing areas

• Parietal
• Temporal
• Occipital
• Frontal

"fight or flight" division of ANS (heart rate increases, blood vessels dilate, respiration increases, etc.)

• Sympathetic ANS

• Parasympathetic ANS

• PNS

• CNS
