Cerebellum • Receives messages from most of the muscles in your body • Communicates with the other parts of the brain • Sends messages about movement and balance back to your body http: //www. morphonix. com

Spinal Cord • Bundle of nerves that carries messages between the brain and the rest of the body. • Long tube of nerve tissue running from the brain down the length of the back inside of the spine

Peripheral Nervous System • Somatic NS – Sensory nerves – Motor nerves – Messages

Peripheral Nervous System • Somatic NS – Sensory nerves – Motor nerves – Messages between brain and body – CONTROLS VOLUNTARY MUSCLES • Autonomic NS – Controls organs and some muscles – CONTROLS INVOLUNTARY MUSCLES

Neurons Nerve Cells • Parts – Soma – Dendrites – Axon • Carry messages

Neurons Nerve Cells • Parts – Soma – Dendrites – Axon • Carry messages – Called impulses http: //www. morphonix. com

Synapse • Small space across which an impulse moves from an axon to the dendrites or cell body of another neuron

Stimulus-Response • Stimulus (stimuli) – Anything that the body can react or respond to

Stimulus-Response • Stimulus (stimuli) – Anything that the body can react or respond to • May be internal or external • Response – the reaction to stimuli

1. Stimuli comes into the brain through the five senses. The nerves that bring stimuli into the body are SENSORY neurons. 2. The impulse travels through INTERNEURONS. 3. When the impulse reaches the MOTOR neuron, the response occurs. home. earthlink. net/~dayvdanls/IHP 2. html
