PPT-How the Nervous System works

Chapter 6 Section 1 Pages 176 180 Objective Describe the role of the nervous system Functions of the Nervous System Receives information about what is happening inside a nd outside your body. Functions of the Nervous System. Sensory input – gathering information. To monitor changes occurring inside and outside the body. Changes = stimuli. Integration. To process and interpret sensory input and decide if action is needed. Biol 105. Lecture Packet 10. Chapter 8 . Outline. Central Nervous System vs Peripheral Nervous System. Peripheral Nervous System. Autonomic Nervous Systems. Somatic Nervous Systems. Autonomic Nervous System. NERVOUS SYSTEM. NERVOUS SYSTEMS RECEIVE SENSORY INPUT, INTEPRET IT, AND SENT OUT APPROPRIATE COMMANDS. NERVOUS SYSTEMS. MOST INTRICATELY ORGANIZED DATA PROCESSING SYSTEM ON EARTH. NEURON. FUNCTIONAL UNIT; SPECIALIZED NERVE CELL FOR CARRYING SIGNALS FROM ONE LOCATION IN THE BODY TO ANOTHER. A. Bacterial Infections of the Nervous System. 1. Bacterial Meningitis. A) Although bacteria can infect the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves, they more commonly infect the meninges and cerebrospinal fluids resulting in meningitis. The nervous system has 2 major components:. Central Nervous System (CNS). Peripheral Nervous System (PNS).. The CNS. The Central Nervous System includes the brain and the spinal cord. . They are so important to the human body that they are encased in bone for protection.. 15. Autonomic nervous system. is a set of pathways to and from the central nervous system (CNS) that . innervates and regulates smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands. .. •. Autonomic nervous system plays a major role . Section 1 – Functions & Divisions of the Nervous System (pp. 386-387). This is your brain…. The Nervous System. And this is your brain – IN ANATOMY!!.
