1. Nervous System By the end of the lesson you should be able to  Describe the transmission of impulses from senses to central nervous system and back to muscles.  Describe the reflex action and the pathway of the reflex arc.  Describe the function of reflex response.  Describe the role of the central nervous system.

4. Basic nerve cell structure

5. 3 main types of nerve cells sensory neurone relay neurone motor neurone

6. Sensory neurons Carries impulses from receptors e.g pain receptors in skin to the CNS( brain or spinal cord)

7. Relay neuron Carries impulses from sensory nerves to motor nerves.

8. Motor neuron Motor neuron Carries impulses from CNS to effector e.g. muscle to bring about movement or gland to bring about secretion of hormone e.g ADH

9. Transmission of signals

10. The Synapse parkinsons

11. Summary Function:  To transmit messages from/ to brain & spinal cord Structures:  Motor, relay & sensory neurons  Brain  Spinal cord

12. When good organs go bad… brain & nervous system disorders  Diseases of the nervous system include:  Kuru  Parkinson's  Obsessive Compulsive Disorder  Depression  Alzheimer's  Huntington’s disease  Multiple Sclerosis

13. When good organs go bad… brain & nervous system disorders This is your normal, healthy brain. This is your brain after a stroke! What is different??

14. Career Connection  What careers relate to the nervous system? Sports Medicine $29,000 Social Services $50,000 Pharmacist $93,000 Nuclear Imaging Tech (MRI/CT) $53,000

15. Right brained or left brained?

16. Say the COLOR of the word, not what it spells…
