They consist of bulges at the base of the semi circular canals that contain hair cells that are covered by a mass of jelly containing tiny pieces of chalk called otoliths (see diagram 15.10). By coordinating the nerve impulses from the semicircular canals and otolith organs the cerebellum helps the animal keep its balance.

The spinal cord is a single structure, whereas the adult brain is described in terms of four major regions: the cerebrum, the diencephalon, the brain stem, and the cerebellum. A person’s conscious experiences are based on neural activity in the brain. The regulation of homeostasis is governed by a specialized region in the brain.

For example, damage to specific areas of the brain, such as that caused by a head injury or cerebrovascular accidents (i.e., strokes), can cause specific deficits in speech, facial movements, or use of the extremities.

The cochlea is responsible for hearing. The vestibule detects linear acceleration of the head. The semicircular canals sense the rotation of the head. Vision rely on photoreceptor cells within the retina of the eye that detect light and colors. The eyes are protected by the bones of the orbits, the eyelids, the tarsal glands, and the lacrimal apparatus.

The nervous system is divided into 2 parts: the central nervous system, consisting of the brain and spinal cord and the peripheral nervous systemconsisting of nerves connected to the brain and spinal cord.

These regions are responsible for various functions including maintaining homeostasis, relaying sensory information, carrying vital functions through the autonomic system. Most of the cranial nerves originate from these regions. The limbic system comprehends structures from the cerebrum and diencephalon that are associated with emotions.
