The Nervous System The Endocrine System The Brain
2
1. There are two types of ways your body communicates internally. They are… - Through the nervous system -Through the endocrine system 2. The nervous system usually generates your first, quick response. 3. Your endocrine system is run by your hormones which act as transmitters to the brain.
5
Network of neurons Neurons – cells that specialize in receiving and transmitting information through the body Split into Central and Peripheral Nervous System

The Nervous System http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xx-- f9Y8wjg&feature=related&safety_mode=tru e&persist_safety_mode=1&safe=active http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xx-- f9Y8wjg&feature=related&safety_mode=tru e&persist_safety_mode=1&safe=active Neurons and how they work: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FR4S1Bq dFG4&feature=related&safety_mode=true& persist_safety_mode=1&safe=active http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FR4S1Bq dFG4&feature=related&safety_mode=true& persist_safety_mode=1&safe=active
8
Biochemical substances that stimulate or suppress other neurons Imbalances can cause major disorders Ex: Dopamine, Serotonin
10
Made up of the brain and the spinal cord
11
Connects the Central nervous system to the rest of the body Split into Autonomic and Somatic Nervous Systems
12
Part of Peripheral Nervous System Sends messages to internal organs Coordinates functions of internal organs Ex: respiration or digestion
13
Part of Peripheral Nervous System Send messages to body’s muscles This is what allows you to text
14
Endocrine glands release hormones into the bloodstream where they affect a wide array of bodily functions and behaviors They coordinate with the nervous system
15
Hypothalamus- part of the brain that directs activity in the endocrine system.
16
Pituitary gland (master gland) – receive messages from the hypothalamus to stimulate or inhibit the release of other glands hormones
17
Endocrine System and the Pituitary gland http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fh2Hmd xQjQ&safety_mode=true&persist_safety_mo de=1&safe=active http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fh2Hmd xQjQ&safety_mode=true&persist_safety_mo de=1&safe=active
18
Using pg. 57 in the text
19
Thyroid Issues: Underactive – lack of energy, weight gain, dry skin or hair Overactive- Increased nervousness, rapid heart beat, weightloss
20
Pancreas Issues: Type 2 Diabetes Pancreatitis ▪ Flu-like symptoms, Weight decrease, rapid pulse
22
Involved in complex mental processes Separated into 4 lobes
23
Regulates coordinated movements
24
Sets brains alertness level and warning system
25
Pathway for neurons traveling to and from the brain
26
Manages body internal state
28
Regulate motor movement and cognitive abilities like planning and decision making Personality Motor Cortex- controls the body’s voluntary muscles Motor speech area (Broca’s area)
29
Process sensory information like touch, temperature, body position and pain Right half communicates with the left side of the body – Left half communicates with the right side of the body
30
Processes Sounds Stores long term memories
31
Processes vision and sensations from the eyes Color, movement, shape, shading, and face recognition

33
AREAS OF LEFT-HEMISPHERE DOMINANCE: Verbal functions (for right-handers and most left-handers), including spoken and written use of language, as well as logical analysis, problem solving, and mathematical computation AREAS OF RIGHT-HEMISPHERE DOMINANCE: Nonverbal functions, including understanding spatial relationships (as presented, e.g., in jigsaw puzzles or maps), recognizing faces and interpreting gestures, perceiving and expressing emotion, and appreciating music and art
34
1 volunteer
35
Students should separate into pairs and choose one person to be the observer.
36
Involved left hemisphere functions (verbal, math, analytic) Trend- eye movements to the right when processing the question
37
Involved right hemisphere functions (nonverbal, spatial, holistic) Trend – eye movement to the left from processing
