STARTER #3 1.Label the cavities to the right a. b. c. d. 2.What type of tissue is this? 1.What type of tissue lines organs and cavities?
NERVOUS SYSTEM I PP
FUNCTION Network of neurons that communicate and control the body through electrical impulses Includes neurons, brain and spinal cord
NEURONS
Axons: extension of cell body Axon terminal: end of the axon Dendrites: receive messages from other neurons
NEURONS Dendrites: receive messages from other neurons Synapse: gap between neurons
NEURONS Myelin sheath: lipid layer around axon (insulator)
WHAT DO YOU SEE?
TYPES OF NEURONS 1.Sensory (5 types) – carry information from the senses back to the brain 2.Motor – brings message from CNS to muscles/glands. 3.Interneurons – connect sensory and motor and carry impulses between them.
SENSORY RECEPTORS ( 5 TYPES) Neuron that detects stimuli.
MECHANORECEPTORS Detect pressure and movement Sense: Hearing and touch
THERMORECEPTOR Detect temperature
PAIN RECEPTOR Detect tissue damage
CHEMORECEPTORS Detects chemicals Sense: Smell and taste
Are the lines straight or crooked?
PHOTORECEPTOR Respond to variation in light Sense: sight
ASSIGNMENT Nervous System Microslides
