Brain Game Notes - Fill in the functions of the following components of the nervous system and be familiar with their locations. 
Given each area's functions, what might happen if that area was damaged? (small diagrams may help you remember where things are)

central nervous system (CNS):
 

peripheral nervous system (PNS):
 

    somatic nervous system:
 

    autonomic nervous system (ANS):
 

        sympathetic division:
 

        parasympathetic division:
 

spinal cord

    dorsal roots and ganglia
 

    ventral roots
 

    spinal cord white matter vs gray matter
