POEM I come in all shapes and sizes, The biggest part of me are my neurons, I'm the electrical signals in your body, I am the center of you touch, without me you could not fell, Without me you could not see, Without me you could not think straight, Without me you could not hear, I am the I am of you brain, You use me even when your sleeping, Without me your smell, taste, touch, and thought wouldn't be here, I go from you head to your toes and everywhere else, literally NERVOUS SYSTEM By: Breanna Terry WHAT IS THE NERVOUS SYSTEM -The nervous system is a complex network of nerves and cells that carry messages to and from the brain and spinal cord to various parts of the body. DIFFERENT PARTS/CLASSIFICATION -central nervous system= brain & spinal cord -peripheral nervous system= cranial & spinal nerves 1. somatic nervous system= controls skeletal muscles 2. Autnomic Nervous system= controls everything else -sypmathetic -parasympathetic http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqvJZ1STLos DUMB IT DOWN central nervous system= brain & spinal cord -peripheral nervous system= cranial & spinal nerves 1. somatic nervous system= controls skeletal muscles 2. Autnomic Nervous system= controls everything else -sypmathetic -parasympathetic -the brain and spinal cord makes up the central nervous system because its in the middle. -cranial and spinal nerves make up the peripheral nervous system -somatic system controls the skeletal system and muscles (lets you walk, write, eat, talk, ect.) -the autnomic system controls all the rest of the movement people make and evry thought you take in HOW DOES IT WORK -the nervous system takes in signals from everything around someone or something and makes notice of it and stores the information into the brain WHAT MAKES UP THE NERVOUS SYSTEM -The nervous system includes both the Central nervous system and Peripheral nervous system. The Central nervous system is made up of the brain and spinal cord and The Peripheral nervous system is made up of the Somatic and the Autonomic nervous systems. 2 MEDICAL PROBLEMS IN THE SYSTEM -migraines= a migraine can be caused by worrying to much and a migraine can be so bad that it can kill someone -it can cause blackouts and numbness -deaf, mute, and blindness are all caused by the nervous system failing RELATION TO OTHER SYSTEMS -the nervous system pretty much controls every other system because the nervous system contains the brain and with out a brain you have no other working systems -the nervous system tell the skeletal system what to do and the muscular system when and how I to move FUN FACTS -the movie Alice In Wonderland is all based of an migraine all the symptoms the Alice has are the results of an bad migraine -30% of Dr.Seuss are based from nervous system failing symptoms FUN ACTIVITY - - - - Sit down Start turning you leg clock wise With your right hand in the air draw the number 6 (try not to think about it) Watch what happens that is your cerebrum changing you rotation WEBSITES -text book -http://www.news-medical.net/health/What-isthe-Nervous-System.aspx - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqvJZ1STLos
