IMPORTANT: Do not write on this material. Write your answers on a separate sheet.

KNOW AND UNDERSTAND

CONTENT STANDARD: The learner understands the parallelism between neural and social networks.
CHECKPOINT: What differs connection from relationship and networks? How are they
different from each other?

Why is collaboration important?

It is important because we are part of the bigger

community or network. And our flaws would affect
the greater whole.

Illustration of Relationship
In a typical network graph, you will see lots of dots
(or “nodes”), and these dots will be connected to
each other by lots of lines. The lines represent the
relationships between the dots, or the relationship
between the things or people in the network.

Figure 1 shows a line connecting person “A” and person “B.” That line
represents their relationship.

Figure 2 Relationship with the connection exposed

The square in the middle of Figure 2 represents the point of contact which is
the connection between person “A” and person “B.”

Connections look like action – action that puts people

in contact with each other.
In Summary:

Every individual is connected to each other. Each one is

like a unique thread in a tapestry, with unique capacity
to contribute to the whole.

Key Points
Connection is the successful completion of necessary arrangements so that
two or more parties (for example, people or programs) can communicate at a
long distance

Relationship is about being and the experience of connecting with someone

over an extended period of time.

A network is two or more devices connected through links. A link is a

communication’s pathway that transfers data from one device to another.
For communication to occur, two devices must be connected in some way to
the same link at the same time.

One characteristic of networks is that it enables flow of information, flow of

the resources and flow of exchange, among others. It serves as link
connecting nodes (or point) to each other. The nodes can be persons (such as
parents and children), institution (government and its agencies), bodies
(such as rivers and its tributaries) and concepts (such as economics and
supply and demand).

TRY
Let’s see how much have you learned today!

Activity: Differentiation of Relationship, Connections and

Networks!

Direction: Write out the names of the 10 people you know in the first column. In
the second column, write what is your relationship/connections with them. And
in the third column, write who introduced that person to you.

CONTENT 7.1 Connections, Relationships, and Networks

MOST ESSENTIAL
LEARNING Illustrate how the brain or neural network works
COMPETENCIES

IMPORTANT: Do not write on this material. Write your answers on a separate sheet.

KNOW AND UNDERSTAND

CONTENT STANDARD: The learner understands the parallelism between neural and social networks.
CHECKPOINT: How does human brain or neural network works? And how does it compare
with social network?

Social network is like a human brain. All parts have

different functions. They connect and collaborate for
the purpose of information and, ultimately action!
If one part fails to function, the whole body will suffer,
that may lead to the body’s devastation and eventual
end.

What is Neural Network?

Neural networks are groups of neurons

that work together to carry out a process
because individual neurons cannot carry
enough information to do one process at
a time. It is the system that makes the
brain function.

Neuron is a brain cell responsible for the

transmission and analysis of all
electrochemical communication within the
brain and other parts of the nervous system.
Each neuron is composed of a cell body
called soma, axon, and dendrites.

Soma is the central cell

body

Dendrites convey
electrical signals toward Axon, also called nerve fibers
the soma. They are convey electrical signals away
multiple and branching. from the soma.

In our common understanding, man’s natural endowments-the five senses

are surely the most significant way to gain concepts and knowledge of the
physical world. In return, these experiences are being perceived by the
human mind and thereon interpreted into solid ideas and or concepts.

REMEMBER
Key Points

Neural networks are groups of neurons that work together to carry out a
process because individual neurons cannot carry enough information to do one
process at a time. It is the system that makes the brain function.

3 main parts of Neurons:

1. Soma – is the central cell body.

2. Dendrites – branched, treelike structure that extend from the soma;
convey electrical signals toward the soma.
3. Axons - also called nerve fibers convey electrical signals away from the
soma; send impulses to other neurons

TRY
Label and Explain!

Direction: Label the parts of the brain and explain how neural networks work. Write
the answer on your answer sheet.
