Let’s review…

READY…???
Let’s review…
It is the control unit of the body.

answer:

NERVOUS SYSTEM
READY…???
The three major components of the nervous system.

answer:

BRAIN, SPINAL COLUMN, NERVES

The basic unit or building block of the nervous system.

answer:

NERVE CELLS/NEURON
The main control and coordination system of the body
composed of the brain and the spinal cord.

answer:

CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM

The system of networking nerves connecting the sensory
organs and motor impulses to the central nervous system.

answer:

PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM

The parts that make up the central nervous system.

answer:

BRAIN and SPINAL CORD

 Other term for nerve cell.

answer:

NEURON
 Filaments extending from a cell body.

answer:

NERVE FIBERS
 The three major parts of the neuron.

answer:

CELL BODY, AXON, DENDRITE

Part of a neuron that transmits messages/impulses.

answer:

AXON
Part of a neuron that receives messages/impulses.

answer:

DENDRITE
 The main component/part of a neuron.

answer:

CELL BODY
 Center of the cell body.

answer:

NUCLEUS
 Branches of axon.

answer:

AXON TERMINALS
Fatty substances covering the fibers of the neuron,
especially on the axon. It acts as an insulator.

answer:

MYELIN
 The gap and relay point between two neurons.

answer:

SYNAPSE
Chemical impulses released and transferred from one
neuron to another.

answer:

NEUROTRANSMITTER
Identify the system.

answer:

CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM

Identify the system.

answer:

PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM

Identify the part.

answer:

Identify the part.

answer:

DENDRITE
Identify the part.

AXON

answer:

AXON TERMINAL
Identify the part.

answer:

SYNAPSE
Identify the part.

answer:

NEUROTRANSMITTERS
THE
BRAIN (PART 1)

The Three Main Parts

- the master control of the nervous system.
- it send messages to the rest of the system so it can respond to stimuli
from in and out of the body.
- the brain is
protected by the
bony structure
called “cranium.”

“cranium”
- commonly known as
the skull.
- the bony structure that
protects the brain.
This is how cranium looks like:
cranium

- commonly known as the “skull.”

- specifically the top portion of the skull.
 1. Cerebrum

2. Cerebellum

- three main parts of the brain: 3. Brain stem

1. Cerebrum
1. Cerebrum
1. Cerebrum

- the largest part

of the brain.

- responsible for
controlling
speech, memory,
and intelligence.
1. Cerebrum

- controls the mental

processes.

- all nerve impulses requiring

analyzation goes through the
cerebrum.
1. Cerebrum 1. Cerebral Cortex

- two basic parts: - the folded layer of

the cerebrum.
1. Cerebrum
2. Nerve fibers

- insulated by a fatty substance called

“myelin,” and forms a rope-like cable
connecting the cerebral hemispheres.
1. Cerebrum
1. Right hemisphere

- The two cerebral hemispheres:

2. Left hemisphere
1. Right hemisphere
- controls the left
side of the body.
2. Left hemisphere

- controls the right

side of the body.
2. Cerebellum

- cerebellum means
“little brain.”
- it controls movement
and balance.
2. Cerebellum

- is responsible for learning - it also helps

habits and developing maintain sense
motor skills. of balance.
3. Brain stem

- the elongated
area at the base
of the brain.
3. Brain stem “ autonomic functions”
- are those that the
regulates the body’s
internal environment.

- it contains the vital

centers for
autonomic functions.
3. Brain stem - controls involuntary
functions, like
beating of the heart,
blood pressure, and
breathing.

medulla oblongata
3. Brain stem
- It also controls reflex
and autonomic
actions, like blinking,
coughing and
swallowing.

medulla oblongata
