THE BIOLOGY OF BRAIN AND GLANDULAR SYSTEM IN
THE STUDY OF HUMAN BEHAVIOR
ABSTRACT
      The biology of the human
brain in the study of human behavior provides information about the structure
of nerve cells, neurons              Â
and other brain cells that are important to influence human actions in
the environment. The structures and functions of neurons are studied in cell
body, dendrites and axons including its kinds such as the sensory neurons, interneurons, and motor neurons. While the nervous system
is divided into two main parts :Â a
central nervous system and a peripheral nervous system.
          The central nervous
system (CNS) consists of the brain and spinal cord, which lie within the bony
cases of the skull and spine. The parts of the nervous system outside the skull
and pine make up the peripheral nervous system (PNS).There are three major
divisions of the brain that are explain in this article the hindbrain, the
midbrain, and the forebrain.Â
         The cerebral hemisphere are explained into the four main
lobes namely: (1)Frontal lobe; (2) Temporal Lobe; (3)Parietal Lobe; and (4)Occipital
Lobe. On the cerebral cortex  is
presented on its functions of various areas such as motor cortex, sensory cortex,
somatosensory cortex, visual cortex and the auditory cortex.
For the spinal cord, this is explain on the two general categories the supraspinal activity and reflex which provide the channel
of information and automatic responses of the body.
         The
article provides a matrix presentation of the glandular system such as the
pituitary gland, thyroid glands, parathyroid glands, adrenal glands, pancreas
glands, gonad and sex glands, and thymus and pineal glands. There are important
discussions made about specific endocrine glands as to its location and function;
hormone and disorders that in some way may affect the human behavior.
