NERVOUS SYSTEM
Nervous system links all your body parts and carries signals from one part to
another.
Our nervous system regulates body functions, such as breathing, and enables
different parts of your body to work together smoothly.
NERVE CELL
Nerve cells are specialized for carrying information in the form of electrical
signals called nerve impulses.
THREE MAIN PARTS OF THE NERVE CELL
Cell body – also known as soma, the cell body is the neuron’s core.
Maintains the nerve cell’s structure, and provides energy to drive
activities.
Axon – relays information to other nerve cells.
Motor nerve cell – motor neurons of the spinal cord are part of the central
nervous system and connect to muscles, glands and organs throughout the body.
These neurons transmit impulses from the spinal cord to skeletal and smooth
muscles (such as those in your stomach), and so directly control all of our muscle
movements.

BRAIN
Types of the brain:
1. Forebrain
2. Midbrain
3. Hindbrain
Forebrain – occupies the entire portion of the skull.
- is home to sensory processing, endocrine
structures, and higher reasoning.
