The nervous system is responsible for _____________ the external information that is captured by the sense organs.
Controling
Having
Interpreting
Giving orders
There are two types of nerves:
The central nervous system & peripheral nervous system
sensory & motor
brain & spinal cord
peripheral nervous system & nerves
The cells that form the nervous tissue are called:
axon
neurons
dendrites
body
It is the widest part of the neuron.
body
axon
dendrites
The brain sends orders to the _____________ of the arms and legs through the nerves.
The muscles
It controls activities of internal organs.
cerebellum
brainstem
spinal cord
cerebrum
They are like branches. The neuron receives messages through them from the sense organs or from other neurons.
dendrites
axon
body
It is protected inside the vertebrae that form the spinal column. It produces involuntary responses, such as when we move our hand away from hot objects.
body
dendrites
axon
spinal cord
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
This disease causes involuntary tremors because neurons in the brain are damaged.
Brain injuries
Spinal Cord injuries
Alzheimer's Disease
Parkison's Disease
It controls movement, coordination and balance.
cerebellum
brainstem
spinal cord
cerebrum
_________ is continuous and often automatic. Through it we capture information from our environment and respond to it.
Sensitivity
To look after your nervous system it's important to:
Get enough sleep, Don't drink alcohol
The nervous system is responsible for _____________ so that our body can react.
Giving orders
Having
Controling
Interpreting
The nervous system consists of only one type of tissue:
veins tissue
muscle tissue
nervous tissue
brain tissue
It is made of the muscular system and the skeletal system.
The Locomotor System
The nervous system is made of two parts:
The central nervous system & peripheral nervous system
brain & spinal cord
peripheral nervous system & nerves
sensory nerves & motor nerves
This disease involves memory loss. It usually affects elderly people.
Brain injuries
Alzheimer's Disease
Spinal Cord injuries
Parkison's Disease
The brain has three parts:
brain, spinal cord, and central nervous system
cerebrum, cerebellum, and brainstem
dendrites, axon, and body
nerves, sensory nerves, and motor nerves
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
Sense organs have __________. They capture information from the environment.
receptors
It controls voluntary actions, like talking. It stores data and memories, and processes thoughts.
brainstem
cerebellum
cerebrum
spinal cord
The peripheral nervous systems consists of:
nerves
cerebellum
brain
spinal cord
It is another part of the nervous system. It receives and interprets the information and decides what to do.
The brain
The brain sends orders to the muscles of the arms and legs through the __________.
The nerves
These can happen when you hit your head. They can be caused by traffic, driving, and sports accidents.
Brain injuries
Spinal Cord injuries
Parkison's Disease
Alzheimer's Disease
These injuries happen when you fracture your spinal column and damage the spinal cord.
Spinal cord injuries
Alzheimer's Disease
Parkison's Disease
Brain injuries
These are long fibres made of several neurons.
nerves
They are part of the nervous system. They carry information from the sense organs to the brain.
