Biological actions in response to changes

The nervous system • The nervous system is made up of: - The brain - The spinal cord - nerves - associated organs

The nervous system • Our nervous system is divided into two interconnected systems: - The CENTRAL and PERIPHERAL nervous system

The nervous system The CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM is composed of the : BRAIN and SPINAL CORD

The nervous system PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM

Control and communication • The CNS is the control • Has control over the actions of the organism’s tissues and organs

The nervous system • Information is gathered from outside the body - What sort of information? - What do we use to gather it? • The information is then processed an appropriate response mounted

The CNS : The brain • Made of millions of different neurones which allow info to be processed • 3 main areas of the brain: - The Cerebrum - The Cerebellum - The Medulla Oblongata

The brain The Cerebrum Controls conscious thought, memory, reasoning and imagination

The brain The Cerebellum Controls balance and co-odination of muscle action

The brain The Medulla Oblongata Controls involuntary actions like heart rate, breathing and digestion
