The Nervous System

Made up of the Brain and the Spinal Cord.

• Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)

• Neuronal Synaptic System (NSS)

• Central Nervous System (CNS)

Made up of the Sensory Organs and Nerves.

• Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)

• Neuronal Synaptic System (NSS)

• Central Nervous System (CNS)

The most important organ of the Nervous System.

• The Neuron

• The Brain

• The Spinal Cord

Connected to your sensory organs, they pass along information.

• The Nerves

• The Spinal Cord

• The Brain

Processes the information received by the sensory organs and regulates the actions directed by the brain.

• The Neuron

• Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)

• Central Nervous System (CNS)

Animal cell of the Nervous System.

• Cerebellum

• Brainstem

• The Neuron

How Neurons communicate to each other.

• Synapse

• Neurotransmitter

• Impulse

They receive the message from another neuron and carry it to the soma, where it is converted into an electrical signal.

• Synaptic Boutons

• Dendrites

• Axon

Form the junction or connections with other neurons.

• Synaptic Boutons

• Dendrites

• Axon

It recognize the message and produces the signal that will travel to the next neuron.

• Soma

• Axon

• Dendrites
