Nervous System Part 1

Central Nervous System

• consists of the brain

• consists of the spinal cord

• Brain and spinal cord

• Brain, spinal cord, and peripheral neurons

Peripheral Nervous System

• consists of all nervous tissue outside the brain and spinal cord

• Only neurons in the arms and legs

• Only found in the brain

• Just the spinal cord

Match the following

• Sends impulses from senses to CNS

• Autonomic nervous system

• Fight or flight and rest and digest

• Sensory/Afferent Division

• Involuntary muscle control

• Sympathetic and Parasympathetic division

• Sends impulses from CNS to muscles and g

• Motor/Efferent Division

• Voluntary muscle control

• Somatic nervous system

Organize these options into the right categories. NS means nervous system

Groups:

(a) Peripheral Nervous System

,

(b) Motor/Efferent Division

,

(c) Autonomic Nervous System

• Autonomic NS

• Sympathetic division

• Somatic NS

• Motor/Efferent division

• Parasympathetic division

Match the following: The nervous system is the master control center for the body. To do its job, it uses the following...

• Detects changes (stimuli)

• Response

• Interprets the stimuli

• Integration

• Activation of muscles/glands

• Sensory input

Neurons

• Support, insulate, and protect the brain

• Filter the blood

• Also known as nephrons

• Conduct impulses around the body
