The Brain- Group 1 The brain made entirely of nerve cells Left side- deals with words and numbers (right side of the body) (Logical side) Right side of the brain (Left side of the body) Responsible for creativity.

Overview of the Nervous system Nervous system: Processes thousands of bits of information from the body’s other organs and the outside environment. Endocrine System: houses the production factories for hormones, which control growth, sexual development and other processes that keep us alive.

Definitions for the brain Automatic Nervous System: Part of the peripheral nervous system that controls the muscles in the stomach, intestines and other organs. Hormones: Chemicals used by the endocrine system that controls growth, emotional responses and physical changes. Neuron: Nerve cell, the basic unit of the nervous system. A neuron is made up of a cell body, an axon and one or more dendrites,

Brain Definitions Neurotransmitters: chemicals that carry information from one neuron to another, Somatic Nervous system: Part of the peripheral nervous system associated with all the body's movements.

Nervous system notes- Group 2 Processes thousands of bits of information to determine the response the body will make Along with the Endocrine system the nervous system coordinates and controls all actions of the body The Endocrine system houses the production factories for hormones, which control growth, sexual development and processes that keep us alive.

Sympathetic and parasympathetic Sympathetic- Fight or flight Parasympathetic system- Rest and Digest

Parts of the brain

Heredity Heredity is a term that refers to traits and features that are inherited from one's parents and ancestors. At birth a person inherits 50% of each parent's genetic material (genes) that are passed along through the chromosomes found in the DNA . These control not only physical traits like height, skin, hair and eye color, and susceptibility to some medical conditions, as well as a great many other individual mental, physical and psychological traits.
