Nervous SystemThe brain is the center of the nervous system. The spinal cord and nerves are the connections. Nerves carry electrochemical signals to and from different areas of the nervous system as well as between the nervous system and other tissues and organs.

The Nervous System
Nervous System: Consists of all the nerve cells. It is the body’s speedy, electrochemical communication system.Central Nervous System (CNS): the brain and spinal cord.Peripheral Nervous System (PNS): the sensory and motor neurons that connect the central nervous system (CNS) to the rest of the body.Slide5

Peripheral Nervous System
Somatic Nervous System: Part of the peripheral nervous system that controls the body’s skeletal muscles.Autonomic Nervous System: Part of the PNS that controls the glands and other muscles. The body’s automatic actions (eg. breathing and heartbeat)Slide7

Autonomic Nervous System (ANS)
Sympathetic Nervous System: Division of the ANS that arouses the body, mobilizing its energy in stressful situations. Known as: FIGHT or FLIGHT responseParasympathetic Nervous System: Division of the ANS that calms the body, conserving its energy.Sympathetic vs Parasympathetic

Neurons
The body’s information system is built from billions of interconnected cells called neurons.A neuron is a nerve cell. Neurons communicate with each other through an electrochemical process.Neurons are the basic building blocks of the nervous system.animationSlide12

Neuron
A nerve cell, or a neuron, consists of many different parts.Slide13

Parts of a Neuron
Cell Body: Life support center of the neuron.Dendrites: Branching extensions at the cell body. Receive messages from other neurons.Axon: Long single extension of a neuron, covered with myelin [MY-uh-lin] sheath to insulate and speed up messages through neurons.
Terminal Branches of axon: Branched endings of an axon that transmit messages to other neurons.Slide15
15
Action Potential
A neural impulse. A brief electrical charge that travels down an axon and is generated by the movement of positively charged atoms in and out of channels in the axon’s membrane. Slide16
16
Synapse
Synapse [SIN-aps] a junction between the axon tip of the sending neuron and the dendrite or cell body of the receiving neuron. This tiny gap is called the synaptic gap or cleft.Slide17
17
Neurotransmitters
Neurotransmitters (chemicals) released from the sending neuron travel across the synapse and bind to receptor sites on the receiving neuron, thereby influencing it to generate an action potential. Slide18

The Endocrine System
The Endocrine System is the body’s “slow” chemical communication system. Communication is carried out by hormones synthesized by a set of glands.Slide20
20
Hormones
Hormones are chemicals synthesized by the endocrine glands that are secreted in the bloodstream. Hormones affect the brain and many other tissues of the body.Slide21
21
Pituitary Gland
Is called the “master gland.” It releases hormones that regulate other glands. Releases the growth hormone.Slide22
22
Thyroid Glands
Regulate metabolic rate. Produces a hormone called thyroxine. Slide23
23
Adrenal Glands and Pancreas
Adrenal glands secrete hormones adrenaline (epinephrine and norepinephrine) during stressful and emotional situations.Pancreas secretes insulin to regulate the level of sugar in the blood.Slide24
24
Gonads
Sex glands are located in different places in men and women. They regulate bodily development and maintain reproductive organs in adults.Testis produce the hormone testosterone.The ovaries produce estrogen.Slide25
Pineal GlandPineal gland produces Melatonin. Melatonin regulates the sleep cycle.25
