    The document summarizes the key aspects of the human nervous system. It describes that the nervous system controls body coordination and organ functions through detecting stimuli, sending nerve impulses, and producing responses. It has two main parts: the central nervous system consisting of the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system connecting them to organs and muscles. Stimuli are detected, turned into nerve impulses in the brain or spinal cord, and then responses are produced through effectors like muscles or glands. Responses can be voluntary or involuntary, with involuntary actions including basic functions controlled by the medulla oblongata like breathing and heartbeat or spinal reflexes. A damaged nervous system can cause paralysis, and the nervous system functions to

    1 Human Nervous System


    The human nervous system is an important control system in body coordination, the human nervous
    system also controls and coordinates organ functions in the body and maintains a balanced

    internal environment through a process.

    Functions of the human nervous system


    Detect stimuli
    Sends information in the form of impulses
    Interprets impulse (Electric Signal)
    Produce appropriate responses

    Structures of the human nervous system


    1. Central Nervous System
    Brain
    Spinal Cord
    2. Peripheral Nervous System
    12 Pairs of cranial nerves connecting the brain to the sensory and internal organs
    31 pairs of spinal nerves connecting the spinal cord to the skeletal muscles

    The flow of stimulus to the response


    Stimulus → Affector → Brain → Effector → Response

    The types of response


    Voluntary Actions - conscious actions conducted under one’s will. Controlled by the
    brain
    Examples - writing, reading, running, and talking

    Involuntary Actions - occur immediately without conscious control or prior thoughts.


    Involving medulla oblongata & spinal cord

    Involuntary actions
    Involving medulla oblongata
    g g
    • Heartbeat
    • Breathing
    • Peristalsis
    • Secretion of saliva

    Involving spinal cord (reflex actions)


    • Withdrawing hand when it accidentally touches a hot object
    • Withdrawing foot when it accidentally steps on a sharp object
    • Sneezing when dust enters the nose
    • Knee Jerk

    Importance of the Network of Human Nervous System in


    Daily Life
    A damaged nervous system normally causes a person to become temporarily, partially, or completely
    paralyzed.

    Function Of Reception
    1. Detect Stimulus
    2. Produce Nerve Impulse

    Sensory Organ
    1. Ear
    2. Eye
    3. Nose
    4. Tongue
    5. Skin

    Extras:
    Skull = Cranial

    Impulse = Electric Signal
