Week 7

2 Divisions of the N.S.• Peripheral

Nervous System (branching out, toward the sides)– nerves

• Central Nervous System– Brain– Spinal Cord

Nervous System• 3 Parts:

– Brain• Cerebrum (thinking, reasoning, sensing)• Cerebellum (routine motion, muscle

coordination)• Brain stem & medulla (involuntary actions:

breathing, heart beat)– Spinal cord

• Brings messages to and from the brain, travels through the vertebrae for protection

• If severed you are paralyzed from there down– Nerves

• Motor Neurons (brain muscles to move)• Interneurons (from one neuron to another)• Sensory Neurons (body brain to sense: touch,

smell, sound, taste, sight)• One nerve cell = neuron,

many neurons = nerve

How the parts work (2-3 details)

3-5 minimum:Cool Facts/ Examples

Control Systems Pre-write

Endocrine System• Signals are hormones that

travel through the blood Ex: growth hormone,

adrenaline• They fit like a lock and

key with target cells in the organ they will affect

• Mmost act slowly over a long period of time

• Glands produce hormones– Pituitary is the master gland

• Hypothalamus in brain connects the Nervous and Endocrine Systems

Immune System• Fights pathogens due to foreign antigens Bacteria, viruses, fungus

• First line of defense = barriers – Skin*, saliva, tears– Nose hairs, mucus

• Second line of defense=white blood cells– Macrophages “eat” pathogens– WBCs can produce antibodies to kill pathogens
