•It is a part of an animal’s

body that coordinates its

voluntary and involuntary
actions and transmits signals to
and from different parts of
the body.
Animals with a defined head possess a two-part nervous system
 It consists of animal’s brain and spinal
cord
 Brain possesses and interprets sensory
information sent from the spinal cord
Consists of all the nerves that
travel from the CNS to the rest
of the animal’s body
 It receives the stimuli
 Sends messages about the stimuli
to the different parts of the body
 Interprets what stimuli mean to
organism’s existence
 Coordinates the organism’s
response or reaction to the stimuli
 you accidentally ate a chili pepper

Your brain interprets it that the pepper is spicy (stimuli)

The message will be transmitted through out your body and will start to create
a reaction towards the stimuli that has been transmitted

Your body will going to react by either spiting it out or asking for a water
•1. Neurons (nerve cell)
•2. Glial cells (neuroglia)
It processes and
transmits information
through electrical and
chemical signals
 Travel in axons Released at
electrochemical causing them to junctions called
waves (signals) be called ‘neuro- ‘synapses’
transmitters’
 glue of the
nervous system
To surround neurons and hold them in
place
To supply nutrients and oxygen to neurons
To insulate one neuron from another
To destroy pathogens and remove dead
neurons.
 to provide guidance-cues directing the
axon of neurons to their targets
Glial Cells are the most abundant cell
types in CNS and it includes
Oligodendrocytes
Astrocytes
Ependymal cells
Schwann cells
Microglia
Satellite cells
•It allows a simple
organism’s body to
coordinate its reaction
to stimuli
Analyzes data., learn
new information, form
thoughts, make
decisions
Communication between
the left and right
hemisphere
Cognition and memory
Controls maintenance
function such as eating
Auditory reception and
interpretation
Master endocrine gland
Controls arousal and
regulates respiration
Controls heartbeat and
breathing
Controls simple reflexes
Body orientation
Relays messages
between lower brain
and balance
Coordinates voluntary
movement and balance

(lol) and Sir Pogi 
