Divisions of the Nervous System
2 main divisions of the nervous system
Central Nervous System Brain Spinal Cord
Peripheral Nervous System: Autonomic Nervous System Somatic Nervous System
Central Nervous System
The control center of the body.
Our brain controls most of the functions in our bodies.
CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM The spinal cord is a thick column of nerve tissue
that links the brain to most of the body’s nerves.
Most impulses travel through the spinal cord to get to the brain.
THE BRAIN
Consists of 100 billion neurons, all are interneurons.
Each interneuron receives messages from 10,000 other sensory neurons!
Each interneuron sends a response reaction to 1,000 motor neurons!
THE BRAIN PROTECTION What helps protect the
brain from injury?
1. Skull
2. Layers of connective tissue
3. Fluid between the layers of connective tissue
BRAIN STRUCTURES
Cerebrum
Cerebellum
Brainstem
CEREBRUM Largest part of the brain.
Divided into 2 halves: 1. Right Side of Cerebrum
Controls left side of body Artistic/Creative Side
2. Left Side of Cerebrum Controls right side of body Mathematical side
Where learning, intelligence, judgments occur.
Interprets input from the senses.
Controls voluntary activities.
Shapes your attitudes, emotions & personality.
CEREBELLUM
2nd largest part of the brain.
Physical coordination. Coordinates muscle actions. Maintains balance.
BRAIN STEM (MEDULLA) Connects the brain to the spinal cord.
Controls involuntary actions. EX: Regulates breathing and helps control
heartbeat.
Central Nervous System
__6. Coordinates the actions of the muscles.
__7. Controls involuntary body actions, such as breathing.
__ 8. Interprets input from the senses.
__ 9. Gives the body its sense of balance.
__ 10. Carries out learning, remembering, and making judgments.
a. Cerebrum
b. Cerebellum
c. Brain Stem (medulla)
Central Nervous System

SPINAL CORD
The spinal cord is a bunch of nerve tissue that are the link between the brain and the peripheral nervous system (PNS).
SPINAL CORD PROTECTION
What protects the spinal cord?
1. Vertebrae column2. Layers of connective
tissue3. A watery fluid
PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM (PNS)
Made up of a network of nerves that branch out from the Central Nervous System (CNS).
PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM PNS is divided into to groups.
Somatic Nervous System: controls voluntary actions EX: Tying a shoe, eating with a fork
Autonomic Nervous System: controls involuntary actions EX: Digestion of food, expansion and relaxation of
blood vessels.
AUTONOMIC SOMATIC
Nervous System Injuries
19. A bruiselike injury of the brain is called a(an) ____________.
Nervous System Injuries
19. A bruiselike injury of the brain is called a(an) concussion.
20. What can you do to decrease your chances of getting a brain
injury? Wear a helmet…
21. What happens when the spinal cord
is cut or crushed? All the nerve axons in the region are damaged-so impulses cannot pass through them causing loss of movement.
