The learners demonstrate an understanding of organisms having feedback which
are coordinated by the nervous and endocrine systems.
Describe how the nervous system coordinates and regulates these feedback
mechanisms to maintain homeostasis. (S10LT-IIIc-36)
K: Identify the parts of the nervous system and their functions.
S: Work cooperatively with group mates in completing the parts and functions of
the nervous system.
A: Realize the importance of maintaining a healthy nervous system.

Proceed with the discussion of the parts and functions of the nervous system.
The nervous system is responsible for receiving and processing information from
the external environment of an organism. Through the nervous system, the
organism is enabled to respond to these external factors accordingly.
The nervous system is composed of the following parts:
A. Central Nervous System (CNS) - serves as the main processing center for the
entire nervous system. It consists of two main components, namely the:
1. Brain - This is an organ located within the skull that functions as
organizer and distributor of information for the body. It has three main
parts:
 Cerebrum - the large, upper part of the brain that controls
activity and thought.
 Cerebellum - the part under the cerebrum that controls posture,
balance, and coordination.
 Brain Stem - the part that connects the brain to the spinal cord
and controls automatic functions such as breathing, digestion,
heart rate, and blood pressure.
2. Spinal Cord - This serves as a channel for signals between the brain and
therest of the body and controls simple musculoskeletal reflexes without

B. Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) - connects the central nervous system to
the organs and limbs. It has two main divisions:
1. Somatic Nervous System - This system is associated with the voluntary
control of body movements and has two main parts:
 Spinal Nerves - the nerves that carry motor and sensory signals
between the spinal cord and the body.
 Cranial Nerves - the nerve fibers that carry information into and
out of the brain stem.
2. Autonomic Nervous System - This system is associated with the
involuntary control of body movements and has two subdivisions:
 Sympathetic - it is activated when the body is in a dynamic role
or stress. (e.g., increased heart rate and breathing, dilation of
pupil, sweating, etc.)
 Parasympathetic - it maintains body functions and restores the
body to normal or relaxed mode.
Divide students into groups and let them perform Activity 1 in LM page 230
enttiled “Break It Down.” Using the given graphic organizer, fill in the missing
parts to complete the entire concept map showing the structure of the nervous
system. They will be provided with paper cutouts containing the major
components, parts, and divisions of the Nervous System. The organizer must be
filled in exactly from top to bottom.
What is the vital role of the nervous system that may affect the other systems?
(Helps all the parts of the body to communicate with each other. It also reacts to
changes both outside and inside the body. The nervous system uses both electrical
and chemical means to send and receive messages. These electrical signals travel
among your brain, skin, organs, glands, and muscles. The messages help you move
your limbs and feel sensations, like pain. Any disruptions in the Nervous system
may cause miscommunications between all body parts and might result in major
damage both within and outside the body.)
Guide Questions:
1. How will you differentiate the Central Nervous System (CNS) and the
Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) in terms of their functions?
2. What everyday actions involve the CNS? The PNS?
3. Knowing how the nervous system plays so much role in our body processes,
how important is it to maintain a healthy nervous system? Explain your
answers.
Use the diagram in Activity 1 to let the students explain and generalize what
they’ve learned about the major divisions of the Nervous system and its functions.
Choose the letter of the correct answer.
1. It is the main control center of the nervous system.
a. Brain b. spinal cord c. nerves d. cerebrum
2. It is the largest part of the brain.
a. Brain stem b. cerebellum c. cerebrum d. hypothalamus
3. It receives and sends out information about activities within the body and
monitors and responds to changes in the environment.
a. Central Nervous System c. Respiratory System
b. Nervous System d. Endocrine System
4. It consists of cranial and spinal nerves.
a. Somatic NS b. PNS c. Autonomic NS d. CNS
5. It maintains body functions and restores the body to normal or relaxed
mode.
a. CNS b. Parasympathetic NS c. brain d. Sympathetic NS
6. It controls the heartbeat, breathing, and blood pressure and coordinates
involuntary muscle movements.
a. Brain b. CNS c. cerebellum d. brain stem
7. It is associated with the involuntary control of body movement.
a. CNS b. Autonomic NS c. brain d. Somatic NS
For 3 points, reflect on why we should keep our nervous system healthy.
Assignment: Choose one part of the Nervous System and search for what might
 application or remediation happen to the human body if this part will not carry out its functions well, and how
to keep that part healthy and well-functioning. Write your answers on a 1 half
sheet of paper.
