Nervous System
What makes up the Nervous
System?
• Brain
• Spinal cord
• Nerves
• Sense Organs (eyes, ears, nose, tongue, skin)
What are the jobs of the Nervous
system?
1. Receive information – both inside and
outside your body (Ex: Wind blowing, low
glucose in your blood)
2. Responds to information – reacts to
stimuli (Ex: soccer ball comes toward
you – you kick the ball)
3. Maintains homeostasis – directs the
body to respond to information (Ex:
hungry – eat, thirsty – drink)
Central Nervous System
• The Central nervous system contains the BRAIN
and the SPINAL CORD.
• The CNS is like the CONTROL CENTER of our
bodies.
• The BRAIN allows us to control most of the
functions in our bodies
• The SPINAL CORD connects our brain to our
nerves.
Peripheral Nervous System
The peripheral nervous system consists of a
network of NERVES that branch out from
the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM and
CONNECT to the rest of the BODY.
Peripheral Nervous System
A total of 43 pairs of nerves make up the
entire PNS. 12 pairs of nerves originate
from the brain. 31 pairs of nerves begin in
the spinal cord.
