Learning Competencies
At the end of the lesson, the students will be able to:
• Determine the functions of the nervous system;
• Give the two main divisions of the nervous system;
• Describe the different parts of the nervous system; and
• Realize the importance of a healthy nervous system.
Content
• The Nervous system is the most complex and highly organized body
system. It receives information from the sensory organs via nerves, transmits
the information through the spinal cord, and processes it in the brain. The
nervous system directs our body’s reactions to the world and also controls
most of our internal functions, everything from muscle movement and blood
vessel dilation to the learning of anatomy and physiology facts.
• The Nerve Cell - The basic unit of the nervous system is the nerve cell.
Nerve cells are called neurons
• Major Divisions and Parts of the Nervous System
1. Central Nervous System (CNS)
The CNS serves as the main processing center for the entire
nervous system. It consists of two main components, namely the:
a. Brain - This is an organ located within the skull that functions as
organizer and distributor of information for the body.
It has three main parts:
- Cerebrum – large, upper part of the brain that controls activity
and thought.
- Cerebellum – the part under the cerebrum that controls
posture, balance, and coordination.
- Brain Stem – the part that connects the brain to the spinal cord
and controls automatic functions such as breathing, digestion,
heart rate, and blood pressure.
b. Spinal Cord - This serves as a channel for signals between the brain
and the rest of the body, and controls simple musculoskeletal reflexes
without input from the brain.
2. Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)- The PNS connects the central
nervous system to the organs and limbs. It has two main divisions:
a. Somatic Nervous System - This system is associated with the
voluntary control of body movements and has two main parts:
- Spinal Nerves – the nerves that carry motor and sensory signals
between the spinal cord and the body.
- Cranial Nerves – the nerve fibers that carry information into and
out of the brain stem
b. Autonomic Nervous System - This system is associated with the
involuntary control of body movements and has two subdivisions:
- Sympathetic - it is activated when the body is in a dynamic role
or stress. (e.g., increased heart rate and breathing, dilation of pupil,
sweating, etc.)
- Parasympathetic - it maintains body functions and restores the
body to normal or relaxed mode.
