AN OVERVIEW
OF ANIMAL
NERVOUS SYSTEMS
© 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
The evolution of animal nervous systems reflects
changes in body symmetry
Radially symmetrical animals exhibit a nerve net.
Most bilaterally symmetrical animals evolved
– cephalization, the concentration of the nervous system
at the head end
– centralization, a CNS distinct from a PNS.

28.11 Vertebrate nervous systems are highly
centralized
In the vertebrates, the central nervous system (CNS)
– consists of the brain and spinal cord and

The human brain
The cerebrum is
– the largest and most complex part of the brain.
– Most of the cerebrum’s integrative power
resides in the cerebral cortex

The cerebral cortex
The cerebral cortex
– is less than 5 mm thick and
– accounts for 80% of the total human brain mass.
Specialized integrative regions of the cerebral cortex
include
– the motor cortex
– somatosensory cortex
– centers for vision, hearing, taste, and smell.

28.19 The limbic system is involved in emotions,
memory, and learning
The limbic system is
– a functional group of integrating centers in the
– cerebral cortex,
– thalamus,
– hypothalamus
– involved in
– emotions,
– Long-term memory,
– learning.

Changes in brain physiology can produce
neurological disorders
Many neurological disorders can be linked to
changes in brain physiology, including
– schizophrenia,
– major depression,
– Alzheimer’s disease, and
– Parkinson’s disease.

28.12 The peripheral nervous system of
vertebrates is a functional hierarchy
The PNS can be divided into two functional
components:
1. the motor system, mostly voluntary, and
2. the autonomic nervous system, mostly involuntary.

28.12 The peripheral nervous system of
vertebrates is a functional hierarchy
The motor nervous system
– carries signals to and from skeletal muscles and
– mainly responds to external stimuli.
The autonomic nervous system
– regulates the internal environment and
– controls smooth and cardiac muscle and organs
– (digestive, cardiovascular, excretory, and endocrine systems)
