647introduction To The Nervous System A

The document discusses the main functions and organization of the nervous system. The two main functions of the nervous system are integration, to allow an individual to respond correctly to their surroundings, and control, to regulate body functions perfectly. The nervous system consists of the central nervous system made up of the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system including cranial and spinal nerves. It also includes the autonomic nervous system which regulates involuntary body functions.

THE NERVOUS SYSTEM

AN INTRODUCTION

Assoc Prof dr. Hamiadji Tanuseputro

HAMIADJI 2009
INTERACTION OF TEACHER AND LEARNER
WHAT ARE THE MAIN
FUNCTIONS OF THE NS?

1. INTEGRATION -- to bring the person


into a membership with the society, so that
he can response correctly to his surrounding.

2. CONTROL -- to regulate the body


functions perfectly.
A GROUP INTERACTION (INTEGRATION)
HOW DOES THE NS PERFORM THESE
FUNCTIONS?
1. Integration:
- Receiving stimuli from the surrounding
- Conducting impulses + Coordination + Responses
- Higher functions:
* Memories
* Emotions
* Thoughts
* Beliefs
* Behaviors
* Intelligence (understanding+reasoning)

2. Control: Regulating body functions by the autonomic NS.


ORGANIZATION

1. Central NS (Brain + Spinal Cord)

2. Peripheral NS (Cranial nerves +
