Present story about how nervous system

works.

C. PRESENTATION OF THE LESSON

What was the reaction of Christine as soon as She covered her ears with her hands and waited
she heard the sound? tensely with another blast.

How did she become aware of the sound? She became aware of the sound because she
heard it.

What system of our body controlled all of our activities? The Nervous System

Very Good! The body system that controls other parts

of the body is the Nervous System.

(The teacher will present picture of the parts of the

nervous system)
 The two main parts are the central nervous
What are the two divisions of nervous system you saw
system and the peripheral nervous system.
in the picture?

Correct. The Central Nervous System is composed of

brain and spinal cord. It controls and coordinates the
activities of the whole nervous system. However, the
peripheral nervous system contains the nerves outside
the brain and spinal cord. It carries impulses from the
sensory nerves to the CNS and from the CNS to the
motor nerves.
The Brain
What is this?

Brain is the control system of our body. What are the The cerebrum, cerebellum and the medulla.
three main parts of the brain?

What is the largest part of the brain? The cerebrum.

Very Good. What are the main activities take place in 1. It is the center for reasoning
the cerebrum? remembering, learning, imagining and
other similar type of mental activities.
2. It receives impulses from the sense
organs and translates the impulses into
sensations.
3. It controls all the voluntary movements
of the body.

The cerebellum
What part is under the cerebrum?
1. Passage of impulses to the cerebellum
What is its two major activities? is important for voluntary muscles to
work together in a coordinated way.
2. It helps to keep the body balanced.

Very Good! What part connects the brain and the spinal It is the medulla
cord?

What are the two major activities of it? 1. It controls the involuntary actions of the
body like breathing, heartbeat, and the
activities of the digestive organs.
2. It controls reflex actions such as blinking
of the eyelids and secretion of saliva.

What happens when you touch a hot pan accidentally? I pulled my hand away in an instant.

That kind of rapid response is called a reflex action.

When you touch a hot object, the receptors in the skin
are stimulated. A group of the interneurons in the spinal
cord automatically activates the motor neurons. The
motor neurons cause the muscles in your hand to
contract, pulling your hand away from the hot object.
The message did not reach the brain; rather, it was
completed in the spinal cord. This action, which does
 not involve the brain is called a reflex. Our body has a
built in mechanism called reflex that works without
involving the brain so we can respond rapidly to stimuli.
Correct. The other part of central nervous system is the
spinal cord. Kindly read what is all about the spinal cord
in the slide.
What are the spinal cord’s two major activities?
The third major part of the nervous system are the
nerves. There are three types of nerves; the sensory
nerves and motor nerves. What does the sensory
nerves do?
How about the motor nerves?
What about the interneurons?
These are the parts of a nerve cell. A nerve cell is made
up of a cytoplasm, a nucleus, and a cell body.
Extending from the cell body are branched arms call
dendrites and a single long fiber called the axon.
Between two nerve cells is the synapse which
separates the axon of one cell from the dendrite of the
next cell.
To understand fully how the nerve cell sends
messages, look at this diagram.
The dendrites receive messages and carry them to the
cell body; the cell body passes the messages to the
axon. When the message reaches the end of the axon,
the axon releases a chemical. Between two nerve cells
is the synapse which separates the axon of one cell
from the dendrite of the next cell. From the synapse,
the chemical sends the message to the dendrites of the
next nerve cell. Thus, messages are sent up from one
cell to another along nerves.
D. GENERALIZATION
How does an impulse pass from one nerve cell
to the next nerve cell.
E. APPLICATION
Think of a situation in your life when your
nervous system worked to keep you safe from
harm.
The spinal cord which is about 45 cm long, goes
from the base of the brain (medulla oblongata)
down through the vertebrae of the spinal
column. It is protected by the vertebrae of the
spinal column and the fluid inside which
cushions the spinal cord against jolts.
1. It connects the brain to the nerves in the
trunk, arms, and legs.
2. It controls most of the body’s reflex
actions.
The sensory nerves carry impulses from the
stimulus to the central nervous system for
processing.
Motor nerves carry impulses from the central
nervous system to activate the muscles in the
body.
They are found only on the central nervous
system. They connect the sensory nerves to a
motor nerves.
The dendrites receive messages and carry them
to the cell body; the cell body passes the
messages to the axon. When the message
reaches the end of the axon, the axon releases
a chemical. Between two nerve cells is the
synapse which separates the axon of one cell
from the dendrite of the next cell. From the
synapse, the chemical sends the message to the
dendrites of the next nerve cell. Thus, messages
are sent up from one cell to another along
nerves.
