How Do You Study And Understand The Main Anatomical Structures Of The Human Brain?
• Study the human brain’s main anatomical structures: the cerebral cortex, limbic system, basal ganglia, brainstem and cerebellum. The cerebral cortex, basal ganglia and cerebellum are directly involved in movement coordination of the muscles of the various parts of the body. • Note that the brain’s cells can be classified as motor neurons and sensory neurons. • Motor neurons usually give orders to the body (e.g., to move particular muscles). They are also present in the spinal cord where they function to perform certain types of reflexes that are called spinal cord reflexes. • The other type of neurons in the brain is called sensory neurons. These cells specialize in receiving sensory information from various parts of the body and interpret them. For example, sensory neurons in the skin called free nerve endings specialize in sensing temperature. This sensation is then carried to the brainstem where it ends at neurons that are located there. • These neurons in the brainstem usually sy
