 Nervous system
• Allows you to react to your surroundings
and coordinate your behaviour

• Any changes to the surrounding (stimuli)

are picked up by receptor cells
 What happens next?
1. Receptor cell detects stimulus

2. It wants to pass this information

3. It sends information as electrical impulses

4. Neurones carry the electrical impulses
