The Nervous System
• The nervous system controls & coordinates functions throughout the body & responds to internal & external stimuli
![Page 10: The Human Body Ch. 35 Nervous System. Organization of the Body The levels of organization in a multicellular organism include cells, tissues, organs,](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649f3f5503460f94c5f8f1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Neurons
• Messages carried by the nervous system are electrical signals called impulses
• Neurons - cells that transmit impulses• Cell Body - largest part of a neuron,
contains the nucleus & most of the cytoplasm, where the metabolic activity of the cell takes place
![Page 11: The Human Body Ch. 35 Nervous System. Organization of the Body The levels of organization in a multicellular organism include cells, tissues, organs,](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649f3f5503460f94c5f8f1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Neurons
• Dendrites - short, branched extensions, that carry impulses from the environ. or from other neurons toward the cell body
• Axon - long fiber that carries impulses away from cell body
• Myelin sheath - insulating membrane that surrounds the axon
![Page 12: The Human Body Ch. 35 Nervous System. Organization of the Body The levels of organization in a multicellular organism include cells, tissues, organs,](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649f3f5503460f94c5f8f1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Divisions of the Nervous System
• The peripheral nervous system (PNS) receives info. from the environ. & relays commands from the CNS to organs & glands
• The central nervous system (CNS) relays messages, processes information, & analyzes information
• The CNS is the control center of the body, includes the brain & spinal cord
![Page 15: The Human Body Ch. 35 Nervous System. Organization of the Body The levels of organization in a multicellular organism include cells, tissues, organs,](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649f3f5503460f94c5f8f1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The Central Nervous System
• Meninges - layers of connective tissue that are wrapped around the brain & spinal cord
• Cerebrospinal fluid - bathes the brain & spinal cord & acts as a shock absorber that protects the CNS

Brain
• Cerebellum - the 2nd largest region of the brain• It is located at the back of the skull
• The cerebellum coordinates & balances the actions of the muscles so that the body can move gracefully & efficiently
![Page 19: The Human Body Ch. 35 Nervous System. Organization of the Body The levels of organization in a multicellular organism include cells, tissues, organs,](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649f3f5503460f94c5f8f1/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Brain
• Brain stem - connects the brain & spinal cord• It is located below the cerebellum, it includes 2
regions: the pons & the medulla oblongata• Each of these regions regulates the flow of info.
between the brain & the rest of the body• Controls important functions like: blood
pressure, heart rate, breathing, & swallowing
![Page 20: The Human Body Ch. 35 Nervous System. Organization of the Body The levels of organization in a multicellular organism include cells, tissues, organs,](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649f3f5503460f94c5f8f1/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Brain
• The thalamus & hypothalamus are found between the brain stem & the cerebrum
• Thalamus - receives messages from all of the sensory receptors throughout the body & then relays the info. to the proper region of the cerebrum for further processing
![Page 21: The Human Body Ch. 35 Nervous System. Organization of the Body The levels of organization in a multicellular organism include cells, tissues, organs,](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032722/56649f3f5503460f94c5f8f1/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Brain
