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 disorders of the nervous system.
S: Demonstrate the ability to use decision-making skills to enhance neurological
health.
A: Recogize how various neurological disorders or diseases affect humans.

Recall the past lesson by having the students label the parts of the neuron and
indicate their functions.
Ask students about how the impulses travel:
 within a neuron
 from one neuron to another neuron
 within the nervous system
By now, you have already learned about the functions and parts of the nervous
system. You have discovered how important the nervous system is. What if
something wrong happens? What if you suddenly developed an injury to your
spinal cord? How would it affect your life?
Present a short video clipaout an old “Karen Po” McDonald’s TV commercial.

 Carlo was climbing a mango tree when he slipped and fell.
 He hit his back on a large tree root. Immediately after the accident, he was
unable to move.
 Carlo was brought to a hospital. The doctors found out that one of his vertebrae
was fractured or broken.
 He was unable to move for days and had to wear a body brace. He wished that
he had been more careful in climbing the tree.
The parts of the nervous system are very delicate. If any of these parts sustain
injury, the rest of the body will most likely be affected. Many activities, especially
in sports, can be quite dangerous to the nervous system if proper care is not
observed.
Risky activities such as diving in shallow water, jumping from a tall tree and high-
speed racing could injure the spinal cord. Injury to the spinal cord could lead to
paraplegia, or inability to move the legs, or quadriplegia, inability to move both
arms and legs.
Disorders That Can Affect the Nervous System
1. Stroke – A stroke occurs when a blood vessel supplying oxygen and nutrients to
 the brain becomes clogged (embolism) or bursts (hemorrhage). When this
happens, part of the brain doesn’t get the blood flow it needs. Deprived of
oxygen, nerve cells in the affected area of the brain cannot function and die
within minutes. This area of dead cells is called a brain infarct. When brain cells
die, the part of the body controlled by these cells cannot function as well. The
effects of stroke are often permanent because dead brain cells cannot be
replaced.
2. Meningitis – Meningitis is an infection of the fluid of a person’s spinal cord and
the fluid that surrounds the brain. It is usually caused by viruses or bacteria.
These viruses and bacteria are usually introduced through the bloodstream from
infections in other parts of the body. Bacterial meningitis is more severe than
viral meningitis. It can result in brain damage, hearing loss or learning
disability.
3. Multiple Sclerosis (MS) – MS is a chronic, progressive disease that occurs
when the body’s immune system attacks the myelin sheaths that surround the
brain and spinal cord. The damaged areas are unable to transmit nerve impulses
and the nerves themselves are gradually damaged. MS usually strikes a person
between the ages of 20 and 40 years. Its symptoms include visual problems,
emotional disturbances, speech disorders, convulsions, bladder disturbances,
paralysis, and muscular weakness. There is no known cure for this disease.
4. Epilepsy – Epilepsy is a chronic disorder of the function of the cerebrum.
Sudden bursts of electrical activity cause changes in awareness, tremors, jerking
movements and loss of consciousness. Epileptic seizures can now be limited
through the intake of some drugs.
5. Alzheimer’s Disease – People with Alzheimer’s disease often have lapses of
memory. Learning new information is severely hampered as well. Alzheimer’s
disease is a degenerative disease of nerve cells in the cerebral cortex. It most
often occurs among people over 65 years of age. It is characterized by the
formation of plaques and malformed nerve cells in the brain. This leads to
progressive memory loss and impairment of mental functioning.
6. Parkinson’s Disease – Parkinson’s disease is a progressive disorder in which
the chemicals that facilitate electrical transmission between neurons are
defected. Symptoms usually begin in middle to later life. Among these are
trembling of the lips and hands, loss of facial expression and rigidity of the
muscles. After many years, the patient might no longer be able to move. There’s
no cure yet for this disease, although there are drugs that can be taken to ease its
worst symptoms.
7. Mental Retardation – Mental retardation is a condition characterized by below-
average intellectual or learning skills as well as a limitation of skills necessary
for daily living. Among these skills are the ability to communicate, care for
oneself and work. It could be caused by a genetic defect or injuries related to
childbirth. The most common cause of mental retardation is trisomy 21 also
known as mongolism or Down syndrome. Down syndrome is a genetic disorder
which imparts to its victims a characteristic physical appearance (smaller,
abnormally shaped head, flattened nose, protruding tongue and upward slanting
eyes).
EXPLAIN Match the following situations to the correct neurological disorders described.
F. Developing mastery. 1. Diana was 26 years old when she started to notice that she was unable to

3) couldn’t control her movements. Her forgetfulness and weakness worsened. By
age 28, she was completely paralyzed.
2. Carla was a cute and healthy baby. However, as she grew up, it became obvious
that she has problems learning. She also has difficulty interacting with other
people and exhibits unusual behavior such as staying in one corner quietly for a
very long time. Although she can talk, her words do not make much sense.
3. Buboy was 2 years old when he started having seizures. Without warning, he
would just fall to the ground and his body would start convulsing. Afterwards
he would lose consciousness and wake up after several minutes.
4. Paulo was taken to a hospital two years ago because he collapsed suddenly. He
stayed in the hospital for about a month. When he finally got home, his family
noticed that there are now changes in the way he moves and thinks. The right
side of his body seems to be weaker than the left. He walks with a limp because
of this.
5. Muhammad Ali was a world-famous boxer. After he retired, he developed
constant trembling of his hands. He also experiences tremors in his legs which
make him walk and move very slowly. Because of this, he is not able to do a lot

6. John is 7 years old. He was brought to a hospital because he was complaining of
high fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, and stiff neck.
Measures on How to Take Care of the Nervous System
 Eat nutritious foods.
 Eat foods rich in proteins, which are building blocks of the brain, as well
as vitamins and minerals.
 Avoid engaging in risky activities that might cause falls or accidents.
 Always follow safety rules whether you are in your workplace or playing
a sport.
 Always observe road safety.
 Dispose of your chemicals properly.
 Avoid drugs, including alcohol and cigarettes.
 Practice good hygiene, especially of the nose and ears to avoid infections.
 Learn to manage stress well.
 Get a good night’s sleep.
 Listen to your body. Consult a doctor when you feel something is wrong.
 Rest whenever you need to.
How do various neurological disorders or diseases affect human lives? As an
example, relate the question to the commercial shown earlier. Synthesize and
generalize based on students’ answers.
