An Important Process
While walking along a dusty path, you begin to cough. As you continue
your walk, a small insect comes flying toward you. You blink and then duck
so that it misses you. These actions are just a few examples of
homeostasis. Homeostasis is the process by which organisms keep
internal conditions relatively constant despite changes in their external
environments.
1. List three other examples of homeostasis that occur in organisms.
2. Why is homeostasis important to an organism?

Levels of Organization in a
Multicellular Organism
1. Cells
2. Tissues – groups of similar cells that
perform a single function
3. Organs – group of tissues that work
together to perform a complex function
4. Organ Systems – group of organs that
perform closely related functions
5. Organism
Humans contain 11 organ systems
that work together to maintain a
stable internal environment
(Homeostasis).

Nervous Tissue
1. Muscle Tissue
Most abundant
Controls the internal
movement of materials
Example: pushing food
through the digestive
system
Controls the external
movements of the entire
body or parts of the
body
Example: typing on a
keyboard
2. Epithelial Tissue
Cover the surface
of the body and line
internal organs
Consist of closely
packed cells
Example: lines
chambers of the
heart, makes up
glands
3. Connective Tissue

and binds different
parts of the body
together
Examples: tendons
and ligaments
Provides support for
the body
Pads and insulates
the body
4. Nervous Tissue
Receives messages
from the body’s
external and
internal
environments
Analyzes the data
and directs the
response
Maintaining Homeostasis
Feedback Inhibition
– Process by which the product of a
system shuts down the system or limits
its operation
– Examples
• Furnace in a house
• Temperature regulation in the body
• Human Menstrual Cycle

You’ve Got a Lot of Nerve!
The nervous system controls and coordinates functions throughout the
body. The nervous system is one of the body’s communication systems.
Without communication, parts of the body could not work together
smoothly.

Section 35-2
1. Think about tying the shoelace of a sneaker. Construct a flowchart that
shows what happens between your eyes and your brain, and between
your brain and your hands, when you tie a bow in the shoelace.
2. How would the communications be different if you tried to tie the
shoelace with your eyes closed?

The Nervous System
A. Neurons
B. The Nerve Impulse
1. Resting Potential
2. The Moving Impulse
3. Threshold
C. The Synapse
The Human Nervous System
Function – controls and
coordinates functions
throughout the body and
responds to internal and
external stimuli
Neurons (Nerve Cells)
Cells that transmit
impulses
(electrical signals)
3 types
Types of Neurons
Sensory – carry impulses from the sense
organs to the spinal cord and brain
Motor – carry impulses from the brain and
spinal cord to muscles and glands
Interneurons (associative neurons) – connect
sensory and motor neurons and carry
impulses between them
Parts of Neurons
Cell Body
– Largest part of a typical neuron
– Contains the nucleus and cytoplasm
– Most metabolic activity of the cell takes place
in the cell body
Dendrites
– Branched extensions
– Carry impulses from the environment or from
other neurons toward the cell body
Parts of Neurons (continued)
Axon
– Long fiber that carries impulses away
from the cell body
– Ends with axon terminals (small
swellings)
Myelin Sheath
– Insulating membrane that surrounds
some of the axons
– Increases the speed at which the
impulse can travel

Nerve Impulse
Production depends on the movement of
positively charged ions across a cell
membrane
Resting Potential
Difference in electrical charge across the
cell membrane of a resting neuron
Negative charge builds up on the inside of
the membrane
Positive charge builds up on the outside of
the membrane
Figure 35-6 Resting Potential
Section 35-2
Outside of cell
Cell membrane
Inside of cell
A nerve impulse begins when a neuron is
stimulated by another neuron or by its
environment.
Action Potential
Reversal of charges
Inside membrane gains a positive
charge and the outside gains a negative
charge
Figure 35-7 An Impulse

Action Potential
At rest.
Action Potential
At the leading edge of the impulse, the
sodium gates open. The membrane becomes
more permeable to Na+ ions and an action
potential occurs.
As the action potential passes, potassium
gates open, allowing K+ ions to flow out.
Action Potential
The action potential continues to move along
the axon in the direction of the nerve impulse.

Threshold
Minimum level of a stimulus that is
required to activate a neuron
Any stimulus that is stronger than the
threshold will produce an impulse
Any stimulus that is weaker than the
threshold will produce no impulse
Synapse
Location at which a neuron can transfer
an impulse to another cell
Gap (small cleft) which separates the
axon terminal from the dendrites of
the adjacent cell
Terminals contain tiny sacs (vesicles)
filled with neurotransmitters

Chemicals used by a neuron to transmit

Diffuse across the gap and attach
themselves to receptors on the
membrane of the neighboring cell

Taking It All In
Your senses—sight, hearing, smell, touch, taste—are constantly receiving
information about your environment. Even if you are not thinking about it,
your body is sensing and responding to conditions around you, such as the
temperature of the room.
1. List ten things you observe about the room you are in.
2. Next to each observation, write the sense that you used to make that
observation.
3. What sense did you use most?
