    The Nervous
    System

    Subject Teacher
    Nervous system
     A network of cells and tissues
    that controls the thoughts,
    movements, and life processes.
     It controls the different parts of
    your body.
    Nervous System

    Central Nervous System Peripheral Nervous


    (CNS) System (PNS)

    Brain and Spinal Cranial and


    Cord spinal nerves
     PNS is a network of nerves that transmits
    messages to the CNS.
     It links CNS to muscles and other organs.

     CNS (command center) interprets messages


    relayed by the nerves and transmits them to
    other organs in the body.
    Sensory receptors
     specialized cells that detect changes in the
    environment and convert these changes into
    electrical signals that can be processed by the
    nervous system.
     occur in specialized organs such as the eyes, ears,
    nose, mouth,and skin as well as internal organs.
    Effector cells
     A muscle cell or gland cell that performs the body's
    responses to stimuli; responds to signals from the
    brain or other processing center of the nervous
    system.
     A cell that performs a specific function in response
    to a stimulus.
    Nervous System performs important functions:
     It collects and receives information from inside the
    body and from the outside environment to facilitate
    response.
     Responses are elicited due to the receptors found on
    the sense organs.
     Receptors receive different information from the
    environment.
    Nervous System performs important functions:
     It directs thought processes like memory,
    intelligence, and learning.
     These are just few of the complex functions of the
    nervous system.

     It controls movement and balance.


    Self-Check

     A. Complete the statements by writing the missing


    term or information.
     B. Explain the functions of the nervous system.
    Neurons
    Neurons
     a nerve cell that is the basic building block of the
    nervous system.
     They store information and carry messages within the
    nervous system and between other body systems.
     Neurons are specialized to transmit information
    throughout the body.
    Cell body

     It contains the nucleus,


    which houses the neuron’s
    genetic information.

     The nucleus tells the cell what type of signals and impulses
    to send out.
    Dendrites
     branchlike extensions on
    the cell body
     It receive messages from other neurons.
     Nerve impulses travel along the dendrite to the cell body.

     Dendrites is the receiving part of the neuron.


     Dendrites receive synaptic inputs from axons.
    Axon
     a long, tail-like
    structure

     It joins the cell body at a


    specialized junction called the axon
    hillock.
     It carries electrical messages away from the cell body and
    passes them to other cells.
    Sensory neuron
     Sends information
    from the environment
    (sensory receptors)
    toward the brain and
    spinal cord (CNS)

     nerve cells that are activated by sensory input from the


    environment
    Motor Neuron
     Carry messages away from
    the brain or spinal cord (CNS)
    to your muscles or glands
    causing them to react or
    move
     use the information gathered by sensory neurons and
    translate it into action in your muscles and gland.
    Interneuron
     neural intermediaries
    found in your brain and
    spinal cord.
     Sends information between
    sensory neurons and motor
    neurons.
     Most interneurons are located in
    the CNS.
    How Impulse Travels
     Information from one
    neuron flows to another
    neuron across a synapse.

     Synapse – small gap at the end of a neuron that allows a


    signal to pass from one neuron to the next.
     Nerve impulses travel from one dendrite to an axon to the
    next neuron.
     When stimulated, axon releases
    acetylcholine -neurotransmitter
    (a substance that transmits
    nerve impulses).

     Acetylcholine molecules diffuse across the synapse.

     Special receptors at the tip of dendrites of the next neuron


    bind with acetylcholine.
     Thus, transmission of messages continues.
