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. Central. Nervous. System. (CNS). Peripheral. Nervous. System. (PNS). 2. ". You have brains in your head..

Communication and coordination system of the body. Seat of intellect and reasoning. Consists of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. The Nervous System: Communication. Neurons are masses of nerve cells that transmit information. Three main components:. (1) Cell Body – contains the nucleus and two extensions. (2) Dendrites – shorter, more numerous, receive information. The Nervous System Central Nervous System Peripheral Nervous System Procedure A starting person will be chosen and will be given an object. Once the teacher gives the signal, the start person will pass the object to their right.
