  1. Neural Communication: The Neural Chain Module 7: Neural and Hormonal Systems

  2. Receptor Cells • Specialized cells in the sensory systems of the body that can turn other kinds of energy into action potentials that the nervous system can process • EX. Receptor cells in the eye turn light into a neural impulse the brain understands. • Examples from other senses?

  3. Sensory Nerves • Nerves that carry information to the central nervous system • The receptor cell is the beginning of the chain • Connect the sense organs to the brain and spinal cord

  4. Interneurons • Nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord responsible for processing information related to sensory input and motor output

  5. Motor Nerves • Nerves that carry information from the central nervous system • Carries messages from the brain and spinal cord to other parts of your body

  11. Personal example • Think of an example when you were in physical discomfort, but you “toughed it out” because you didn’t want people to make fun of you or think less of you. • Share it with a partner.

  12. Reflex vs. thought process • Your example • Touch a hot burner on a stove – what do you do? • A baseball is coming quickly right at you – what do you do? • Blow in your face?

  13. Neural Chain Activity
