6276632899	autonomic ns	consists of the nerves and ganglia outside of the brain and spinal cord.	1
6276642712	somatic ns	the part of the peripheral nervous system associated with skeletal muscle voluntary control of body movements	2
6276647847	parasympathetic nervous system	conserves energy as it slows the heart rate, increases intestinal and gland activity, and relaxes muscles	3
6276650703	cerebrovascular accident disorder	Damage to the brain from interruption of its blood supply.	4
6276659577	neuron	nerve cell	5
6276663266	synaptic cleft	the space between neurons at a nerve synapse across which a nerve impulse is transmitted by a neurotransmitter	6
6276664996	meningitis disorder	Inflammation of brain and spinal cord membranes, typically caused by an infection.	7
6276667905	multiple sclerosis disorder	paralyzed or blind while in milder cases, there may be numbness in the limbs.	8
6276672517	alzheimer disorder	A progressive disease that destroys memory and other important mental functions.	9
6276674922	parkinson's disorder	A disorder of the central nervous system that affects movement, often including tremors.	10
6276677875	cerebellum	the part of the brain at the back of the skull in vertebrates. Its function is to coordinate and regulate muscular activity.	11
6276682586	huntington disorder	An inherited condition in which nerve cells in the brain break down over time.	12
6276685609	cerebral cortex	the outer layer of the cerebrum	13
6276690388	meninges	that line the skull and vertebral canal and enclose the brain and spinal cord.	14
6276694212	corpus callosum	nerve fibers joining the two hemispheres of the brain.	15
6276698640	medulla	the inner region of an organ or tissue, especially when it is distinguishable from the outer region or cortex	16
6276703125	Interbrain	neuron that transmits impulses between other neurons	17
6276707420	cerebellum	the part of the brain at the back of the skull in vertebrates. Its function is to coordinate and regulate muscular activity.	18
6276711448	diencephalon	part of the forebrain, containing the epithalamus, thalamus, hypothalamus, and ventral thalamus and the third ventricle.	19
6276714765	pons	the part of the brainstem that links the medulla oblongata and the thalamus.	20
6276717909	thalamus	either of two masses of gray matter lying between the cerebral hemispheres on either side of the third ventricle, relaying sensory information and acting as a center for pain perception.	21
6276719849	midbrain	a small central part of the brainstem, developing from the middle of the primitive or embryonic brain.	22
6276724303	hypothalamus	controlling body temperature, thirst, hunger, and other homeostatic systems, and involved in sleep and emotional activity.	23
6276729703	brainstem	the central trunk of the mammalian brain, consisting of the medulla oblongata, pons, and midbrain, and continuing downward to form the spinal cord.	24
