 1.Nervous System       

Introduction

The Brain is the most important part of the 

nervous system.

The nervous system has thousands of 

bits of information from the body and the 

outside environment.

Neurons

Contains genes

They are different from other cells.

There are dozens of different types of neurons 

and they have different functions such as motion 

or senses.

Neurotransmitters

They are chemicals that carry the 

information to the next neuron. Telling the 

neurons to either fire an electrical signal 

telling the neuron to act or remain silent

Peripheral Nervous System

This system carries information between 

organs.

It has two other systems involved with it 

the automatic, which controls the muscles, 

and the somatic, which controls the body's 

movement.

Central Nervous System

Consists of the spinal cord and brain.

The spinal cord is the main connection for 

information going to the brain.

It also has 30 pairs of nerve bundles that 

connect to other parts of the body.

2. The Brain

Command center.

Where imagination takes place.

Controls every thought and feeling.

Parts of the Brain

Two Hemispheres: The right side of the 

brain controls the left side of the body 

and the right side of the brain controls 

the left side of the body.

Brain stem: Controls involuntary actions

Lobes of the Brain

The brain has four lobes, the frontal lobe, 

the temporal lobe, the parietal lobe, and 

the occipital.

emotional reactions.

Temporal-Hearing, music,understanding 

speech, memory for non verbal events.
