4. NERVE
CELL
- IT IS THE BASIC UNIT OF THE NERVOUS
SYSTEM
- ALSO KNOWN AS “NEURONS”
- THERE ARE 12-14 BILLIONS OF NEURONS OR
NERVE CELL IN ONE PART OF THE BRAIN ALONE.
A NEURON HAS A CELL BODY CONTAINING THE
NUCLEUS.
DENDRITES AXONS
CELL BODY
6. • Neurons are cells with the special ability to carry
signal or impulses. The signal or impulse can be
thought, emotions, learning, and many other
body functions are carried by nerve impulse in
the neurons.
• A nerve impulse cannot travel or jump from one
neuron to another. When a nerve impulse comes
to the end of the axon, it produces the chemical
called the neurotransmitter. The neurotransmitter
is a chemical that crosses the space between the
neurons (Synapse) and stimulates the nerve
impulse to start in the next dendrites.

8. -The nervous system is assisted by five sense organs
• eyes, nose, ears, tongue, and skin.
-These sense organs are constantly receiving
information from the environment and sending
messages to the brain. These senses aid in the
survival of human beings.
- A human must be able to respond to a stimulus in
order to survive.
STIMULUS- is any factor that may trigger a nerve
impulse.
RESPONSE- is a reaction to the stimulus.
