2. Biological actions in response to changes

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

4. The nervous system Our nervous system is divided into two inter-
connected systems:
The CENTRAL and PERIPHERAL nervous system

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

6. The nervous system
PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM

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

8. 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 and an appropriate response mounted

9. The CNS : The brain 3 main areas of 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

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

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

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