okay so important that the slides from March 11ths class are from about slide 22 to 32. Remember the cerebral lobes are very important, and do the maccerena to remember those! Know what they do and where they are located.

this was just kinda an interesting article about shots to the head in the Winnipeg Free Press:

Also important is the processing centers as well as remembering the Wernicke's area located on the dorsal area of the left temporal lobe. As well as the Broca's area located on the left frontal lobe.

Happy studying :)

so theres two parts of the nervous system brain ad spinal cord. figure 17.7 is really helpful.
spinal cord: extends from base of rain to verteral canal. vertabraes act as cushions and protect it. gray matter= inside white matter= outside
KNOWWW THE FUNCTIONSSS OF THE SPINAL CORD
communication b/w brain and body, center for many reflex arcs
brain: cerebrum, the two hemispheres. divided by longitudial fissue( like on a map)
sulci= the grooves
4 LOBES: frontal lobe, parietal lobe, occipital lobe, temporal lobe
KNOW THEM WELL
