discovered about the human body. They are able to subdivide each hemisphere’s cortex into four lobes‚ separated by prominent fissures or folds. You have the frontal lobes Wright 2 that are located behind the forehead‚ the partial lobes that are located at the top and to the rear‚ the occipital lobes that are located at the back of your head and lastly‚ the temporal lobes that are located just above the ears. Each lobe carries out many of its own functions. I’ve always wanted to know how this was even possible

The cerebral cortex outer layer of the cerebrum has the two largest hemispheres that cover the upper part of the brain which are divided into smaller portion called lobes. Corticalization is an increase in size of the wrinkling of the cortex and without this we would not be smarter than any other animal. Cerebral hemispheres are divided into right and left sides of the cortex connected by thick band axon fibers called corpus. Hemispheric specialization‚ testing only one side of the brain by a process

BRAIN AND BEHAVIOR Functional Specialization • In terms of brain function‚ what is functional specialization? Functional specialization is the function of the nervous system. Each of the neurons located within the nervous system are grouped into clusters‚ these clusters have a specific purpose in the body’s function. Such as movements of the limbs‚ emotions‚ memory and bodily functions. • Why is the principle of complex communication important to understand? The principle of complex

Biology II 30 March 2012 The Comparison of Nervous Systems in Humans‚ Cnidarians‚ Flatworms‚ and Annelids The nervous system is one of the most important organ systems in the body. It is in charge of all of the things that happen within the body. Being responsible for receiving sensory input from internal and external stimuli‚ integrating and processing information‚ and generating output‚ it would be hard to survive without a nervous system; however‚ there are different types of nervous systems
