  • _________ is continuous and often automatic. Through it we capture information from our environment and respond to it.
    Sensitivity
  •  10
  • Sense organs have __________. They capture information from the environment.
    receptors
  •  10
  • They are part of the nervous system. They carry information from the sense organs to the brain.
    Nerves
  •  10
  • It is another part of the nervous system. It receives and interprets the information and decides what to do.
    The brain
  •  10
  • The brain sends orders to the _____________ of the arms and legs through the nerves.
    The muscles
  •  10
  • The brain sends orders to the muscles of the arms and legs through the __________.
    The nerves
  •  10
  • It is made of the muscular system and the skeletal system.
    The Locomotor System
  •  10
  • The nervous system is responsible for _____________ the external information that is captured by the sense organs.
    Giving orders
    Interpreting

  • The nervous system consists of only one type of tissue:
    muscle tissue
    brain tissue
    nervous tissue
    veins tissue
  •  5
  • The cells that form the nervous tissue are called:
    neurons
    body
    dendrites
    axon
  •  5
  • Each neuron has three parts:
    cerebrum, cerebellum, and brainstem
    dendrites, axon, and body
    nerves, sensory nerves, and motor nerves
    brain, spinal cord, and central nervous system
  •  5
  • They are like branches. The neuron receives messages through them from the sense organs or from other neurons.
    axon
    body
    dendrites
  •  5
  • It is one extension. It is longer and thinner than the dendrites. It transmits messages to other neurons or sends orders to the organs.
    axon
    body
    dendrites
  •  5
  • It is the widest part of the neuron.
    body
    dendrites
    axon
  •  5
  • The nervous system is made of two parts:
    brain & spinal cord
    peripheral nervous system & nerves
    sensory nerves & motor nerves
    The central nervous system & peripheral nervous system
