Receives & responds to information from inside and
outside of body; made up of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves
1. Stimulus: any change that brings about a response (reaction)
2. Maintains homeostasis

Neuron: nervous system cell that carries nerve impulseinformation; has three parts:
1. Dendrites (#1): delivers impulse to cell body
2. Cell body (#2): contains nucleus & organelles
3. Axon (#3): carries impulse away from cell body
Label the neuron on your sheet according to the numbers above

Nerve cells have a space between them
called a synapse. When a message
reaches the end of a cell, a chemical
moves across the synapse of one cell to
the next, delivering the “message”

The Nervous System is divided into two sections:
1. Central Nervous System (CNS): includes the brain and spinal cord
a. Brain: control center of the body
1. Cerebrum: section that stores/interprets senses, thoughts, memories, and controls movement
2. Cerebellum: coordination and balance
3. Brain stem: controls involuntary muscles (heartbeat, breathing, & blood pressure, etc.)

b. Spinal cord: links brain with body nerves, controls reflexes. Protected by vertebrae.

2. Peripheral Nervous System (PNS): nerves branch from CNS(brain/spinal cord) to body

Five Senses: The nervous system responds to stimuli such as light,
sound, heat, chemicals or pressure in your
environment

1. Vision: light stimulates rods (dim light) and cones (colors) and sends impulse to brain.

2. Hearing: outer ear gathers sound waves that vibrate tiny bones & fluid which sends the impulse to brain

3. Smell & Taste: molecules in air stimulate nerve cells in the nasal passages (olfactory cells) & on the tongue (taste buds)

4. Touch: receptors found in organs & skin detect changes in pressure, pain, and temperature
What do you notice about the distribution of nerve receptors for
each type of condition?
