    WHAT IS

    NERVOUS
    SYSTEM?
    presented by: TIP Grade 12 Student
    Its is complex collection of nerves and specialized
    cells known as neurons that transmit signals
    between diffrent parts. Like walking, running,
    jumping, riding a bicycle they wouldn't be possible
    without your nervous system.
    Structurally, the nervous system has two
    components, the central nervous system and
    peripheral nervous system.
    Central Nervous System - made up with the
    brain and spinal cord.
    Peripheral Nervous System -Consists of sensory
    neurons, ganglia and nerves that connect to one to
    another and to central nervous system.
    The nervous system carries the
    information from your body to the brain
    and back to the body
    Nerves - are made up cells that carry
    information through your body system
    these are called neurons.
    Neurons - have a large body containing
    the nucleus, thread-like extensions called
    dendrites and axon.
    Dendrites -bring information to the cell
    body
    Axons - take information away from the
    cell body
    A neuron has only one axon, but it can
    have many dendrites
    Difference Dendrites - are shorts and
    heavily branch appearance Axon - are
    much longer (some axons maybe quite
    long, reaching from spinal cord down to
    toe)
    Roles
    Dendrites - are specialized extensions of
    the cell body
    Axons - it carries information from
    soma to the other cells
    Roles
    Soma/ cell body- is the neuron's core. The cell body carries
    genetic information, maintains the neuron's structure, and
    provides energy to drive activities. Like other cell bodies, a
    neuron's soma contains a nucleus and specialized
    organelles.
    Roles
    A bundle of nerve fibers is called nerve.

    Information from one neuron flows to another neuron


    across a synapse. The synapse contains a small gap
    separating neurons.
    Roles
    Synapse - are also called neuronal junction, the site of
    transmission of electric nerve impusles between two nerve
    cells (neurons) or between a neuron and a gland or muscle
    cell ( effector)
    There are 3 kinds of neurons in your body

    Sensory Neurons
    Interneurons
    Motor neurons
    The nerve impusles travels in a path
    through these neurons from stimulus to
    the brain and then to reaction the path is
    called the reflex arc.
    Stimuli - is an action that influences
    an activity it could be sound, touch,
    taste and sight.
    Stimuli are the items used to evoke a
    reaction from participants or
    respondents in a study.

    Stimuli may come in a range of formats


    including audio, visual or physical.
    Central Nervous System
    Brain -which is located in your head, it
    controls most of the functions of the body

    Spinal Cord - is very thick column of nervous tissue


    that links your brain to alot of the nerves in the
    peripheral nervous system
    The brain contains about 100billion
    interneurons, these neurons can
    receive and give messages
    throughout the body.
    3 main regions in the brain that process
    information.
    Cerebrum
    Cerebellum
    Brain Stem
    Cerebrum - the largest part of the brain
    cerebrum is the one who controls diffrent parts
    and movements like : thoughts, speech,
    memories and other brain functions. It has 4
    parts like Corpus Callussum, Cerebral Cortex,
    Thalamus, Hypothalamus.
    Cerebrum -is the responsible for coordinating
    your muscles and helps keep your body moving.

    Brain Stem - which lies between cerebellum and


    spinal cord it controls your Involuntary Actions
    such as breathing and heart rate.
    The Peripheral Nervous System

    contains the network of nerves that branch


    out from the spinal cord and connect it to
    the rest of the body.
    Humans have five senses: Hearing,
    Tasting, Seeing, Touching and Smelling.
    We hear with our ears
    We taste with our tongues
    We see with your eyes
    We touch with our fingers and skin.
    We smell with our nose.
