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 cranial nerves are connected to the same side of the brain from which the sensory information originates, except for the optic nerve. Sensory input to the brain enters through pathways that travel through either the spinal cord (for somatosensory input from the body) or the brainstem (for everything else, except the visual and olfactory systems) to reach the diencephalon and thalamus.

Key brain structures include the cerebral cortex, basal nuclei, and limbic system, along with mechanisms for blood flow regulation. It explains language processing, memory formation, spinal cord organization, and sensory/motor pathways, detailing reflexes and their brain connections.

The general sense of somatosensation (touch) contains receptors spread throughout the body. Taste and smell belong to the special senses and rely on chemoreceptor cells. Taste transduction depends on gustatory receptor cells of the taste buds within papillae. Smell transduction depends on olfactory receptor neurons within the olfactory epithelium.

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.

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.
