Introduction
The Nervous system controls:
Sight,
Voluntary
and involuntary functions, such as movement, balance, and coordination. The nervous system also regulates the actions of most other body systems, such as blood flow and blood pressure. ability to think and reason. The nervous system allows you to be conscious and have thoughts, memories, and language.

1. Central Nervous system (CNS): brain and spinal cord
Nervous system
The basic unit or cells that makes up the nervous
cells or neurons, that are specialized to carry "messages" through an electrochemical process (electrical and chemical method of carrying message)

Review
Nervous system receives, interprets and respond to
stimulus Two categories :CNS, PNS Neurons are basic units ; three types
Sensory: receptor to CNS Intermediate/relay: found in CNS Motor: CNS to effectors
Reflex action
Quick, automatic and involuntary response Requires not thought or learning e.g. knee jerk, pupil
Reflex action
Neurotransmitters
Neuron carry messages/impulse as both electrical
Neurotransmitter at Synapse
Medulla Oblongata
Controls involuntary actions such as breathing rate, heart rate, and regulation of body temperature
of the brain called the midbrain. Symptoms include shaking and problems with movement
body. It happens when something goes wrong with the way messages pass between your brain and muscles.
Summary
The nervous system allows us to receive stimulus,
process it, and then respond Made up of : CNS and PNS Basic cells are called Neurons Impulse (messages) are carried by electrical and chemical processes Cerebellum controls body movement, medulla oblongata controls body functions and cerebrum controls voluntary actions Reflex arc Problems of Nervous system
