2. Nervous and Endocrine System

3. Vocabulary Gland – an organ that produces and secretes (releases) hormones Gland – an organ that produces and secretes (releases) hormones Hormone – a chemical created by the body that regulates (control) specific body functions Hormone – a chemical created by the body that regulates (control) specific body functions Response – a reaction to a stimulus Response – a reaction to a stimulus Stimulus – a change in the environment that causes you to react Stimulus – a change in the environment that causes you to react

4. Nervous System: Function: control and regulate all __________ activities Function: control and regulate all __________ activities Allows you to __________ (response) to a __________(change in the environment) Allows you to __________ (response) to a __________(change in the environment) Body Respond Stimulus Stimulus: Smell of Food Response: Cat jump on the stove Stimulus: Hot stove Response: Cat screams and jumps off the stove

5. Organs: A. Brain 1. receives and ______________ messages 2. Sends out ____________ messages 3. Three areas a) Cerebrum a) Cerebrum i. Divided into two halves (______________) i. Divided into two halves (______________) ii. Largest part of the brain ii. Largest part of the brain iii. Controls ______________ muscles iii. Controls ______________ muscles iv. Allows you to think, remember and speak iv. Allows you to think, remember and speak b) Cerebellum b) Cerebellum i. Allows for smooth body _______________ i. Allows for smooth body _______________ ii. Controls ____________ and posture ii. Controls ____________ and posture c) Brain Stem c) Brain Stem i. Medulla Oblongata i. Medulla Oblongata ii. Controls _______________ processes ii. Controls _______________ processes ex. Breathing and heart rate ex. Breathing and heart rate Interprets Response Hemispheres Voluntary Movements Balance Automatic

6. Organs:

7. Central Nervous System (CNS) Peripheral Nervous System – nerves from the spinal cord throughout the body

8. Organs: B. Spinal Cord: sends messages between the __________ and the body C. Nerves 1. ____________ messages (nerve impulse) 2. Messages always travel from ___________ to ________________ 3. Messages travel in the form of chemical and ______________ signals 4. _____________ is the space between two neurons 5. Messages travel across the synapse by _____________(chemicals released from the axon terminal to trigger the nerve impulse on the next neuron) Brain Carries Dendrite Axon Terminal Electrical Synapse Neurotransmitter

9. Dendrite Nucleus Axon As the message travels through the neuron it’s an electrical signal As the message crosses the synapse (gap) it’s a chemical signal Axon Terminal Dendrite Neurotransmitter

10. 6. Three types of neurons: A. Sensory neuron: ____________ (stimulus) the message from receptors B. Interneuron: connects sensory to motor neuron C. Motor neuron: receives message (response) and tells effectors (muscles) what to do Receives

11. Neurons Dendrites – receive the nerve impulse Dendrites – receive the nerve impulse Nucleus – controls all activities of the cell Nucleus – controls all activities of the cell Axon Terminals release neurotransmitters into the synapse Axon Terminals release neurotransmitters into the synapse Nerve impulses travel from the dendrite through the cell to the axon terminal (one direction only) Nerve impulses travel from the dendrite through the cell to the axon terminal (one direction only) Nerve impulses travel through the cell as electrical signals Nerve impulses travel through the cell as electrical signals

12. Endocrine System: Function: control and regulate the body Parts: A. Glands: organs that produces and secrete _____________ B. Hormones 1. _______________ produced that affects the body 2. Transported by the ________________ system 3. Only affect their target organ Hormones Substances Circulatory

13. Endocrine System: “Master” Gland Controls the other glands Produces Adrenaline which increases the heart and breathing rates for “Flight or Fight” Response Only found in Males produces Testosterone Produces Insulin to control the blood sugar level Only found in Females produces Estrogen and Progesterone Controls your Metabolism

14. Negative Feedback Mechanism 1. Controls the levels of hormones in your blood 2. Production of one hormone is controlled by the amount of another hormone in the blood 3. Maintains homoeostasis

15. Review – Simple Machines Simple Machines make work easier by reducing the amount force needed or the distance that the work is done for Simple Machines make work easier by reducing the amount force needed or the distance that the work is done for Six Types: Six Types: Incline Plane ex. Ramp Screw ex. Screw or jar lid Wedge ex. Ax or knife Pulley ex. Flagpole or clothesline the more pulleys the less force you need Wheel and Axle ex. Bicycle wheel Lever ex. See saw or bat or wheel barrow
