Activity 1: Break It Down
1. The two major divisions of the Nervous
System are the Central Nervous System
(CNS) and the Peripheral Nervous
System (PNS).
2. The parts under the CNS are the brain
and the spinal cord.
3. The CNS functions as the control center
that receives data and feedback from
sensory organs and nerves throughout
the body, processes the information,
and sends commands back out. On the
other hand, the PNS is composed of
nerves, outside the brain and spinal
cord, that connect the CNS to other
parts of the body.
4. The sensory (afferent) division is
composed of somatic and visceral
sensory nerve fibers, located near the
brain and spinal cord, that transmit
impulses from stimuli toward the CNS.
The motor (efferent) division is
composed of motor nerve fibers,
located within the CNS, that transmit
impulses from the CNS out to the
peripheral organs (muscles and glands)
to cause an effect or action.
5. If one part of the nervous system fails to
carry out its function properly, all other
parts of the system will be affected and
may be unable to perform their usual
tasks.

Activity 5: The Nervous Trip!
1. Thirst
2. Tongue
3. The receptor receives the stimulus and
converts it into an impulse. The nerves
pass the impulse to the next nerve cell.
Then, the brain receives the information
through the sensory neurons.
4. As soon as the brain receives the
information from the sensory neurons, it
processess a response to send to the
motor neurons.
5. The brain processes the information and
delivers a response to an effector, such
as organs, muscles, and glands, through
the motor neurons. The effector will then
perform the response given.
6. Muscles (triceps)
7. Arms will be used to assist in fetching a
glass of water.
8. The sensory (afferent) division is
composed of somatic and visceral
sensory nerve fibers that transmit
impulses from stimuli toward the CNS.
The motor (efferent) division is
composed of motor nerve fibers that
transmit impulses from the CNS out to
the peripheral organs (muscles and
glands) to cause an effect or action.

Activity 6: The BALANCE Inside!

1. Homeostasis is the process by which the

internal environment regulates itself to
maintain stability while adjusting to
different conditions.
2. When the temperature of the
environment increases, the body
regulates its temperature by
perspiration; when it decreases, the
body triggers the shivering reflex. In the
presence of light, the pupil constricts to
adjust to the brightness; in its absence,
the pupil dilates to take in more light.
These are achieved when when each
part of the body functions in equilibrium
with other parts.
3. Homeostasis usually involves negative
feedback that act to oppose the
stimulus that triggers them; for example,
when the body temperature is too high,
a negative feedback will be triggered
to bring it back down and regulate it.
4. Positive feedback intensifies a change
in the body's physiological condition
rather than reversing it; for example,
when the body temperature is too low,
a positive feedback will be triggered to
bring it back up and regulate it.
