Parts of the Nervous System
1. Central Nervous System (CNS)
O Includes:O Brain
O It is the control centerO Takes signals from the sense organsO Processes the infoO Sends out new signal telling the body
what to do.
O Spinal cordO A tube of neurons
2. Peripheral Nervous System
O Nerves that extend beyond the brain and spinal cord.
3. Autonomic Nervous System
O Controls the parts of the body that act without thinking, such as: stomach, intestines, glands…
What is a Nerve?O Nerves are the body’s major cables
and contain hundreds of neuron fibers.
O The fibers run to every nook and cranny of the body.
What is a Neuron?O The nervous system is made up of
cells called neurons.
O They have spindly fibers that carry electrical signals.
O Some neurons (nerve cells) are several feet long!
ReflexesO When you touch something hot or cold
your body sends signals to the brain to tell the body how to react.
O Process:O Cells in hand detected heat. O Nerves send message to spinal cord.O Spinal cord decides what to do.O Nerves from spinal cord tell the hand
what to do.O Message is to let go of the object.
The BrainO Color is pinkish-brownO Size of 2 fistsO Wrinkly surface (folds)O Divided into lobesO Two hemisphere with different
abilities and charateristics
1. MedullaO The smallest part of the brainO Thick stalk at the base of the skullO Connects brain to the spinal cordO Controls involuntary movement
(Examples??)O BreathingO DigestionO HeartbeatO SneezingO Blinking
2. CerebrumO Largest part of the brainO Surface has many folds to pack in
more cellsO Cerebrum is divided into lobes.
Lobes of the BrainO A. Frontal lobe
O Conscious thoughtO PlanningO Free will
O B. Parietal lobeO MovementO SensationO Orientation
…Lobes of the BrainO C. Occipital Lobe
O Main job is to process information that comes from your eyes
O D. Temporal LobeO SpeechO LanguageO Sound
…Lobes of the BrainO E. Cerebellum
O Helps coordinate your body’s movement and keepsyou balanced.
O F. Brain StemO This is located at the base of the brainO Vital for basic life support systems, like
heart beat, breathing. O If your brain stem stops doing its job, you
are considered brain dead
QUIZ NEXT CLASS!!O Open book (but please study!!)O Topics include:
O NervesO Neuron (label and define parts)O Brain (lobes: label and define)O Central Nervous System CNSO Peripheral Nervous System PNSO Autonomic nervous system
O Types of questions: Fill in the blanks, labelling, multiple choice, matching, short answer.
OComplete the Nervous system web search
OThis is to be handed in before the end of class!!
