Introduction
Introduction to the Nervous System
Humans body composed of many system in which they performed a greater responsibility in our bodies. One of this system is the nervous system. Nervous system is the center of all mental activity including thought, learning, and memory. Together with the endocrine system, the nervous system is responsible for regulating and maintaining homeostasis. Through its receptors, the nervous system keeps us in touch with our environment, both external and internal.
The nervous system is composed basically of specialized cells whose function is to recieve sensory stimuli and to transmit them to effector organs, whether muscular or grandular. The sensory stimuli that arise either outside or inside the body are correlated within the nervous system and the effector organs are coordinated so that the effector organs work harmoniously together for the well-being of the individual. In addition, the nervous system has the ability to store sensory information, when appropriate, is integrated with other nerve impulses.
Task
Your Task:
You want to be a neuroscientist, but your teacher tells you that before you could become a neuroscientist, you must be familiar with the nervous system. Your teacher asks you to make a blogger that contains information about the nervous system to test if you are ready to be a neuroscientist. For you to be guided about the information regarding the nervous system that you will input in your blogger, your teacher will give you a guide question for you to answer.
Guide Questions:
1.) Give the 2 major division of the nervous system and define each.
2.) Give the parts and functions of the central nervous system.
3.) Give the parts and fucntions of the peripheral nervous system.
4.) Give and describe the 4 main lobes of the brain.
5.) Give and describe the main parts of the brain.
6.) Define and give the component of neuron.
7.) Differentiate the sensory, integration, and motor function of the nervous system.
8.) Differentiate the somatic, autonomic, and enteric nervous system.
9.) How does message transmits to our brain?
10.) List some importance of our senses in the nervous system.
Process
In order for you to accomplish the task given, you have to follow certain steps.
STEP 1:
In order for you to be a neuroscientist, you must do the task that your teacher wants you to accomplish. You must answer the guide questions given to you by your teacher. But you can't answer these questions without having knowledge about it. And for you to answer the guide questions that your teacher gave you, you must read the reference given to you by your teacher.
STEP 2:
Click the link that was given to your by your teacher. By clicking the link, you can see their the article that is related to the nervous system. Read each article and don't forget to take down note some important details and answer to the questions that was given to you by your teacher.
STEP 3:
Upon collecting all the answer to the question given to you. You can now input your answer in your blogger. Remember that you must be creative in your blogger for you to gain extra credits on your teacher. In the end of this activity, your teacher will rate you using a rubrics. GOODLUCK FUTURE NEUROSCIENTISTS!
