Nervous System

Neurons (Nerve Cells) are highly
specialized cells that transmit electronic
signals throughout the body
Nervous System

Brain = control center of
nervous system
- Receives all the information
- Processes information
- Signals body to react

Divided into 3 segments:
 Cerebrum = intelligence & language
 Cerebellum = balance & coordination
 Medulla Oblongata = involuntary movements
Nervous System

The Central Nervous System (CNS)
includes the brain & spinal cord

It controls most of the necessary
functions (breathing, heart rate) and
behavior of a person

Protected by the skeletal system (skull &
vertebra)
Nervous System

The Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)
connects the CNS to the rest of the body

These are the nerves that travel
between the spinal cord and the other
limbs and organs

Not protected by the skeletal system
Red: CNS
 Blue: PNS

Circulatory System

of the bronchi that end in
alveoli
Respiratory System

Alveoli – air sacs that contain capillaries,
where air exchange takes place
Feedback

Communication system btw all the
organ systems to help maintain
homeostasis
Example: Nerves in the body detect
that you are too hot, so the brain tells
the skin cells to release sweat to cool
you off
