-Cells of the same type group together to form tissues

-The same sort of tissues then form organs

-Organs then form organ systems

-System: a group of inter-related parts that work together to achieve a

common goal (interrelated: related, but not identical, like a family)

Nervous System!

-Made of special cells found ONLY in the nervous system - neurons

-Has 2 parts: Central Nervous System (brain & spinal cord), and Periphera
Nervous System (all the nerves that extend out from the spinal cord)

-Is the system that allows animals to sense things, react, and behave.

-2 Types of neurons: Afferent & Efferent (think cause & effect:

Afferent neurons are the input signal - (ex. afferent senses the stove is hot;
brain says "THIS IS HOT! MOVE DUMB@$$!"; efferent neuron carries that message
to the muscles, to your move)

Afferent Brain (or spinal chord)

Brain (or spinal cord) Efferent

(A= Arrive, E= Ewww go away)

Peripheral Nervous system

Somatic Nervous System

The voluntary part of the nervous
system - requires thought from the
brain (Walking, writing, lifting a
glass of water)
Autonomic Nervous System
All the stuff your body does
without thinking: breathing,
heart pumping; reacting to
danger (reflexes)

Sympathetic Division Parasympathetic Division

STRESS - keeps you alive,
redirects blood flow to your
lungs and muscles, so you can
run away from saber tooth tigers
Opposite of sympathetic -
Tries to slow your heart rate
and breathing, allows blood
to flow to your junk, allows
you to poop and pee

Homeostasis: Balance; idealy the sympathetic (stress) and

parasympathetic (chill out) divisions balance each other out,
so we aren't always stressed out, or, way too chill to respond
to danger.
