1. STIMULUS AND RESPONSE
A stimulus is anything you see, hear, touch smell or taste. There are two types: Internal stimuli External stimuli
The body has two receptors: Internal receptors External receptors
A response is the body´s answer to a stimulus. There are two types: Muscular responses Glandular responses
2. THE SENSES
2. THE SENSES
2.1. SightThe eye is the organ of sight

2.5. TasteThe tongue is the organ of taste
3. THE NERVOUS SYSTEM
The nervous system is made up of nerve centres and nerves The central nervous system is formed by nerve centres that
interpret the information and develop responses. It has two parts: Brain Spinal cord
The peripheral nervous system is made up by nerves that transmite information. It is made up of: Sensory nerves Motor nerves
4. TYPE OF MOVEMENTS
Voluntary movements: the brain produces a response
Involuntary movements: the spinal cord produces a response. The sensory nerves transmit information about involuntary movements to the spinal cord; and it produces a very fast response and transmits it to the muscles
5. THE SKELETAL SYSTEM The skeleton is made up of all the bones in the body:
Head bones: skull bones and facial bones Trunk bones: spine and ribe cage Limb bones: upper limb bones and lower limb bones
6. THE MUSCULAR SYSTEM
The musculature is the set of muscles in the body:
Head muscles: masseter, buccinatur and orbicular
Trunk muscles: sternocleidomastoid, abdominal, pectoral, intercostal, trapezius and dorsal
Limb muscles: biceps, triceps, deltoid in the upper limbs; and quadriceps, gluteus, tibial and calf muscles in the lower limbs
