 What is the
nervous
system?

The nervous system consists of two divisions: the

central nervous system containing the brain and
spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system
which is a network of nerves and neural tissues
branching out throughout the body.
Parts of the brain…the cerebrum
The cortex is also divided
into 4 lobes that
correspond to the
overlying bones of the
skull: the frontal lobe
specializes in motor
activity, personality, and
speech; the parietal lobe
is where language,
temperature, pressure,
touch are interpreted;
the temporal lobe contains centers for hearing,
smell, and language input; the occipital lobe
specializes in vision.
 Autonomic nervous system…
The autonomic nervous
system is a part of the
peripheral nervous
system.. it controls the
involuntary bodily
functions such as
sweating, gland
secretions, blood
pressure, and the
heart. It is divided into
the ‘sympathetic’ and
‘parasympathetic’
divisions.
 The Neuron
• Dendrites receive
signals.

• The cell body integrates

signals.

• The axon transmits

action potential. The
myelin sheath makes
the signal travel faster.

• Synaptic terminals
transmit signals.
 Thermoreception
• Free nerve endings
in the skin sense
changes in
temperature
(differences rather
than absolutes).

• These are directly

transmitted through
the PNS.
 Mechanoreception
• Hearing is a form of
mechanoreception.

• Ears gather sound

waves from the
environment.

• The inner ear bones

amplify sounds.

• Sounds are transmitted

to the cochlea.
 Sound transmission
• Within the cochlea,
hair cells on the
basilar membrane
vibrate to certain
frequencies, and send
signals down the
auditory nerve.

• Loud sounds can

damage these
sensitive hairs
permanently.
 Photoreception
• Sight is photoreception.

• Light enters the eye

through the cornea and
pupil.

• Light is focused by the

lens.

• Light strikes the retina,

and stimulates
receptors.
 Chemoreceptioin
• Taste is one form of
chemoreception.

• Taste buds detect

certain ions
dissolved in saliva.

• Tastes: salty,
sweet, sour, bitter,
“umami.”
