Nervous System

The document provides an overview of the nervous system, detailing its two main components: the Central Nervous System (CNS), which includes the brain and spinal cord, and the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS), which connects the CNS to the body. It explains how messages are transmitted through sensory receptors and neurons, highlighting the roles of dendrites, cell bodies, and axons. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of homeostasis in maintaining balance within the body.

NERVOUS

SYSTEM
G-4 PRESENTS
How does it
work?
by sending
messages, or signals
between your brain
and all the other
parts of your body.
[Link] Nervous
System(CNS)
-The main processing center for the entire
nervous system.
a.) BRAIN
-located within the skull that functions as
organizer and distributor of information for the body.
*Cerebrum- large upper part of the brain that
controls activity and thought.
*Cerebellum- under the cerebrum that controls
posture, balance, and coordination.
*Brain stem- connects the brain to the spinal
cord and controls breathing, digestion, heart rate,
b.) SPINAL CORD
-serves as a
channel for signals
between the brain
and the rest of the
body, and controls
simple
musculoskeletal
reflexes.
2. Peripheral Nervous
System(PNS)
-Connects the central nervous system to the
organs and limbs.

a.) SOMATIC NERVOUS SYSTEM


-associated with the voluntary control of the
body movements.
*Spinal Nerves- carry motor and sensory
signals between the spinal cord and the body.
*Cranial Nerves- nerve fibers that carry
information into and out of the brain stem.
b.) AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYTEM
-associated with the involuntary control
of the body movements.

*Sympathetic- activated when the body


is in a dynamic role or stress. (e.g.,
increased heart rate)
*Parasympathetic- maintains body
functions and restores the body to normal
or relaxed mode.
How is a message transmitted?
 The nervous system is connected to the different
organs of the body in the senses, these organs are
composed of different receptors;

-Photoreceptors (eyes)
-Mechanoreceptors (ears)
-Olfactory receptors (nose)
-Chemoreceptors (tongue/taste)
-Nociceptors (pain/touch)
-Thermoceptors (temperature)
How do the transmission
of electrical signal
happen?
 Sensory Receptors detect the “stimulus”. These
receptors then convert the stimulus into electrical
signals called “nerve impulses”.

 It now transmits through the nervous system, which


travels through neurons.
1. DENDRITES
-receive signals from
other neurons.

2. CELL BODY(soma)
-Processes the signals.

3. AXON
-sends the signals to
other neurons or to
muscles or glands.
CLASSIFICATION OF
NEURON:
1. Sensory/affective neurons
- carry impulses from the
sense organs to the brain and
spinal cord.

2. Motor/effective neurons
-carry impulses from the brain
and spinal cord to the muscles.

3. Associative neurons
Reaction/
Response
-the final action
taken by the body.
-on how the
body reacts to
something.
 It is still important that these body parts function
with balance and coordination with one another
to maintain homeostasis.

HOMEOSTASIS is a condition wherein the


human body system is maintained in balance.
Responsible in the regulation and
maintenance of the internal environment of
the body.
-body temp -salts, acids and gases
-fluids -nutrients
