  1. Nervous system

  2. Teaching Points • 1. The functions of the nervous system is to receive the information happening in both inside and out of the body, respond to the information and lastly maintain homeostasis. • 2. The structure of a neuron includes the cell body with a nucleus, extensions called dendrites and an axon. • 3. The central nervous system is in control of the center part of the body and consists of the brain and the spinal cord. • 4. The peripheral nervous system controls nerves that connect out of the central nervous system and involves both voluntary and involuntary actions • 5. The sense in our body includes vision, hearing and balance, smell and taste, and touch

  3. Bell Work

  4. Function Of The Nervous System

  5. Receiving Information • Makes you aware of what is happening around you • Checks what is going on inside your body (ex: glucose rate in the blood)

  6. Responding To Information • Stimulus -> change or signal in the environment that can make an organism react • Response -> what your body does to react to the stimulus • Heart rate -> controlled by involuntary actions of the nervous system

  7. Maintaining Homeostasis • The nervous system maintains homeostasis by directing the body to respond appropriately to the information it receives • Ex: You get hungry when your body needs food

  8. The Structure Of A Neuron A neuron is a nerve cell.

  9. Structure Of A Neuron • Large body cell with a nucleus • Dendrites carry impulses towards the cell body • The axon carries impulses away from the cell body • Bundle of nerve fiber = nerve

  10. Kinds Of Neurons • Sensory neuron -> picks up stimulus from the environment and converts it into nerve impulses • Interneuron -> carries nerve impulses from one neuron to another • Motor neuron -> sends impulse to muscle or gland and react in response

  11. How A Nerve Impulse Travels Synapse -> the junction where one neuron transfers an impulse to another structure There is a gap between axon tips and dendrites

  12. Central Nervous System • Includes the brain and a spinal cord • Brain -> controls most functions of the body • Spinal cord -> links brain to most of the nerves in the outer body system

  13. The Brain and Spinal Cord • Has three layers of connective tissue • Between the innermost layer and the middle layer, it is filled with fluids to protect the brain

  14. The Brain • Three main regions that receive and process information 1 cerebrum 2 cerebellum 3 brain stem

  15. Cerebrum • Interpret inputs from the senses, control movement, and carries out complex mental process (ex: learning/remembering) • Largest part of the brain

  16. Cerebellum and Brain Stem • Cerebellum -> coordinates actions of your muscles and helps you keep your balance • Brain Stem -> involuntary actions that occur

  17. Spinal Cord • The link between your brain and the rest of the body • Vertebral column -> surrounds the spinal cord to protect them

  18. Peripheral Nervous System • Network of nerves that branch out from the central nervous system • Controls both voluntary and involuntary actions • 43 pairs of nerves • 12 pairs in the brain • 31 spinal nerves

  19. How Spinal Nerves Function • Impulses travel on a spinal nerve both to and from the nervous system

  20. How Each Function • Spinal neurons -> carry both sensory and motor neurons • Sensory neurons (Impulse :body -> central nervous system) • Motor neurons (Impulse: central nervous system -> body)

  21. The Somatic and Automatic • Nerves of the peripheral nervous system can be divided into two groups • Somatic Nervous System -> controls voluntary actions • Automatic Nervous System -> controls involuntary actions

  22. Reflexes • Reflex -> automatic response that occurs rapidly without conscious control • Some reflex actions only interact with the spinal cord • Impulses make you feel pain for protection

  23. The Senses • Vision • Hearing/Balance • Smell/Taste • Touch

  24. Vision • Stimulus of light converts into impulses to let you see • Cornea, pupil, iris, lens, and retina are the parts of your eyes

  25. Hearing/Balance • Sounds is produced by vibrations • Outer ear: gathers sound waves • Middle ear: eardrum that vibrates sound • Inner ear: has auditory nerves • Semi-circular canals control your balance

  26. Smell/Taste • Chemicals that make you smell and taste • 50 basic odors • 5 main tastes – sweet, sour, salty, bitter, umami • Nose and mouth work together

  27. Touch • Skin is the largest sense organ that contain touch receptor everywhere • Touch, pressure, temperature change, and pain are dermis feels
