The Nervous System
Main function:
The body system by which sensations are received.
Organs and Structures:



Brain
Spinal Cord
Nerves or neurons
Functions of the organs or structures:
Brain:
It coordinates all of your body activities.
Spinal Cord:
Is an extension of the Brain stem. It is made up of bundles of neurons that carry
impulses from all parts of the body to the brain and from the brain to all parts of
your body.
Nerves:
Nerve cells or neuron, these are the message carriers of the information from
and to the brain. Any messages carried by the neurons are called impulse.
Other important vocabulary words:

Homeostasis

Dendritre

Axon
