COORDINATES AND CONTROLS the workings of the components of the body

(Control center for all body activities)

2. Like a — that transmits information by electrical signals called —

3. — to changes that occur both inside and outside the body Ex. —3

- basic cell of the NS that carries impulses or action potential from ONE PART TO ANOTHER

3 parts of neurons

– controls the GROWTH of the NERVE cell

- SHORT-branched fibers that CARRY IMPULSES TOWARDS the cell body

- long, thin fibers that CARRY MESSAGES AWAY from the cell body

Consists of the brain and spinal cord

Where interneurons RECEIVE AND PASS on messages

– control center

– relays SENSORY AND MOTOR INFORMATION to and from the brain to other parts of the body

The central nervous system (CNS) is composed of the —2 These neurons cannot — if damaged.

Brain – consists of — neurons —2 — everything a person does produces wave of — that differ in length and frequency

Parts of the Brain

- large upper region controls ACTIVITY AND THOUGHT

has 2 sides of cerebrum:

beneath the back of the cerebrum

coordinates MUSCLE movement

-below the cerebellum at the BASE OF THE SKULL

controls heart beat, breathing and blood pressure

-controls breathing , heart beat and SWALLOWING

-regulates breathing and controls EYE movement

-eye movement

-smaller part of the brain that process info FROM SENSE ORGANS

the RELAY STATION of senses

-regulates body temperature, use of water, blood pressure and release of chemicals

are NERVE CELLS that SEND MESSAGES all over your body to allow you to do everything from breathing to talking, eating, walking, and thinking

are branched cell components that RECEIVES STIMULUS from the other neurons or sensory receptors.

CELL BODY contains a — which will process the stimulus.

will TRANSMIT THE STIMULUS to a gland, muscle, organ or other neuron
