WRITE TRUE IF THE STATEMENT IS
CORRECT, OTHERWISE WRITE
FALSE.
1. THE BRAIN IS PART OF THE
CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM.
2. The autonomic nervous system is a
subdivision of the somatic nervous
system.
3. The somatic nervous system is
responsible for regulating the body's
involuntary functions.
4. The sympathetic nervous system is
responsible for "fight or flight"
responses.
5. The peripheral nervous system
includes all the nerves outside of the
central nervous system.
Directions:
OBSERVE THE IMAGE AND
DISCUSS HOW YOU FEEL
The nervous system is critical for the senses,
allowing us to perceive and respond to the
world around us.

THE NERVOUS SYSTEM AND GIVE AN
EXAMPLE SITUATION OF EACH.
 Sensation
THE FIRST FUNCTION OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM IS
TO DETECT AND INTERPRET SENSORY
INFORMATION FROM THE ENVIRONMENT. THIS IS
ACHIEVED THROUGH THE SENSORY RECEPTORS
LOCATED THROUGHOUT THE BODY THAT DETECT
STIMULI SUCH AS LIGHT, SOUND, TOUCH,
TEMPERATURE, AND CHEMICALS.
SENSATION EXAMPLE
WHEN YOU SEE A RED APPLE, THE
LIGHT FROM THE APPLE
STIMULATES THE SENSORY
RECEPTORS IN YOUR EYES, WHICH
CONVERT THE LIGHT INTO
ELECTRICAL SIGNALS THAT ARE
TRANSMITTED TO THE BRAIN. THE
BRAIN THEN INTERPRETS THESE
SIGNALS TO CREATE A
PERCEPTION OF THE RED APPLE.
SENSATION Organs
 Integration EXAMPLE
FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN YOU TASTE AN
APPLE, THE BRAIN INTEGRATES THE
TASTE WITH OTHER SENSORY
INFORMATION, SUCH AS THE VISUAL
APPEARANCE OF THE APPLE, TO
CREATE A COMPLETE PERCEPTION OF
THE FRUIT. THIS INTEGRATION IS ALSO
RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CREATION OF
MEMORIES AND ASSOCIATIONS WITH
THE APPLE.
 Response
THE THIRD FUNCTION OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM IS
TO RESPOND TO THE SENSORY INPUT BY
COORDINATING AND CONTROLLING THE BODY'S
MOVEMENTS AND PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESSES.
THIS IS ACHIEVED THROUGH THE MOTOR
NEURONS, WHICH TRANSMIT ELECTRICAL SIGNALS
FROM THE BRAIN AND SPINAL CORD TO THE
MUSCLES AND GLANDS.
Response EXAMPLE
FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN YOU TOUCH A
HOT STOVE, THE SENSORY
RECEPTORS IN YOUR SKIN DETECT
THE HEAT AND TRANSMIT
ELECTRICAL SIGNALS TO THE
SPINAL CORD. THE SPINAL CORD
THEN SENDS A SIGNAL THROUGH
THE MOTOR NEURONS TO THE
MUSCLES IN YOUR ARM, WHICH
CONTRACT AND WITHDRAW YOUR
HAND FROM THE STOVE.
APPLICATIONS
1. WHY WE NEED TO KNOW HOW THE
NERVOUS SYSTEM WORK
2. What do you think will happen if our nervous
system failed to function?
3. How important is nervous system?

 Directions:
WRITE TRUE IF THE STATEMENT IS
CORRECT, OTHERWISE WRITE
FALSE
1. True or False: Sensation is
the process of the brain
interpreting and analyzing
sensory information received
from the environment.
 2. True or False: Integration
involves the creation of memories
and associations based on sensory
information.
3. True or False: Response refers
to the sensory receptors detecting
stimuli from the environment.
 4. True or False: The
somatosensory cortex is
responsible for processing
sensory information related to
touch, temperature, and pain.
 5. True. The cerebellum is a part
of the brain that is responsible for
coordinating voluntary
movements, balance, and posture.
