1he llve sysLems LhaL you have sLudled ln boLh ?ear 8 and 9 are Lhe,
1. ulgesLlve
2. ClrculaLory
3. LxcreLory
a. 8esplraLory
b. urlnary
4. Muscular

?ou are now sLudylng Lhe nervous sysLem Lo undersLand how Lhls sysLem
helps oLher sysLems work wlLh each oLher. 1here ls anoLher coordlnaLlng
sysLem ln Lhe body. lL ls called Lhe Lndocrlne SysLem and you wlll sLudy
LhaL nexL week.

?ou all know LhaL one of Lhe Llfe rocesses" ls Lhe ablllLy Lo respond Lo
a sLlmulus". 1he nervous sysLem ls one sysLem LhaL coordlnaLes all oLher
body sysLems Lo do [usL LhaL.



?ou have learned abouL Lwo Lypes of neurones,

1. 1he funcLlon of Lhe sensory neurone ls Lo ____________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________________________

a. A slgnal, or sLlmulus, can be deLecLed from elLher,
l. ouLslde Lhe body Lhrough Lhe senses, or
ll. recepLors lnslde Lhe body.

b. ln boLh cases Lhe Lype of neurone LhaL deLecLs a change ln sLlmulus and LransmlLs lL Lo Lhe braln
ls called a _____________________ _________________________ .


2. 1he funcLlon of Lhe moLor neurone ls Lo _____________________________________________

a. An acLlon, or response, can be effecLed by Lhe messages from a moLor neurone connecLed Lo
elLher,
l. muscles, or
ll. glands lnslde Lhe body.

b. ln boLh cases Lhe Lype of neurone LhaL sends a message from Lhe braln Lo Lhe effecLor muscle or
gland ls called a ______________________ _________________________ .
8evlew Lhe characLerlsLlcs of Lhe Lhree Lypes of muscle Llssue.
?ou wlll need Lo conslder Lhls
when reasearchlng dlfferenL
body sysLems.

Muscles are classlfled lnLo Lhree
groups, refer Lo Lhe dlchoLomous
key Lo Lhe rlghL.

All body sysLems have some
represenLaLlve of muscle Llssue.




1he rocess
llrsL lesson
1he class wlll work ln llve lslands. Lach of Lhe llve lslands ls dlvlded lnLo Lwo groups of Lhree sLudenLs. 1haL ls,
Lhere are Len groups of Lhree sLudenLs. Lach group of Lhree sLudenLs wlll research how Lhe nervous SysLem
coordlnaLes one body sysLem.

Second Lesson
AfLer researchlng and noLe-maklng each group wlll presenL Lhelr flndlngs Lo Lhelr groups on 1wo and a Palf
lslands. llve groups wlll presenL Lo each oLher, so Lhere wlll be Lwo presenLaLlons golng on aL once.

1hlrd Lesson
SLudenLs creaLe a graphlc organlser Lo demonsLraLe how Lhe slx body sysLems work LogeLher.

1he followlng quesLlons refer Lo Lhe body sysLem LhaL you are analyslng.

1. lrom where do sensory neurones plck up Lhelr messages?
2. Whlch parL of Lhe CenLral nervous sysLem do Lheses messages Lravel Lo?
3. WhaL sorL of message do Lhey LransmlL Lo Lhe braln?
4. Whlch muscles or gland responds Lo Lhe message from Lhe braln?
3. Pow do Lhese muscles or glands respond Lo Lhe message?
6. Clve examples of recepLors ln Lhe sysLem LhaL you have sLudled and muscles or glands LhaL respond
Lo Lhe sLlmulus.
