What do you
know about
the brain?
The brain has 2 sides: hemispheres
Neurons make networks
Cortex
Corpus callosum
Cerebellum
The brain is made up of different areas
There are billions of
neurons in the brain!!!
Neuron
The nervous system
allows the brain to
send messages quickly
to the rest of the body
Central Nervous System
(CNS): Brain + spinal cord
Peripheral Nervous System
(PNS)
The CNS and PNS have a bidirectional communication
The brain sends messages to the opposite side of the body
The brain receives messages from the opposite side of the body
The PNS has two main divisions: Sensory and Motor
The motor division of the PNS is subdivided in:
Voluntary actions Involuntary actions
The involuntary system is divided into:
Sympathetic ‘fight or flight’ Parasympathetic ‘rest and digest’
Messages travel form the PNS to the brain and back
These electrical messages are sent very
quickly - up to 150 metres/second
What would happen if we
needed a quicker response?
Faster messages: Reflexes
Spinal cord
Muscle
Sensory nerve
Motor nerve
The knee reflex experiment
How fast are you?
