Chapter 15 The Nervous System
You smell a delicious aroma. You walk into the kitchen and see a bag of popcorn in the microwave. You hear some kernels still popping. Then you think to yourself, “Snack time!” Which body systems enabled you to smell, walk, see, hear, and think? How did each system play a part in your response?
How do organs and other structures enable the nervous system to function?

The Neuron
A neuron has a large cell body that contains the nucleus, threadlike extensions called dendrites, and an axon.
![Page 19: Chapter 15 The Nervous System 15.1 How the Nervous System Works 15.2 Divisions of the Nervous System 15.3 Sight and Hearing 15.4 Smell, Taste, and Touch.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062313/56649f4e5503460f94c6ed8f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Chapter 15 The Nervous System
How a Nerve Impulse Travels
For a nerve impulse to be carried along at a synapse, it must cross the gap between the axon and the next structure. The axon tips release chemicals that carry the impulse across the gap.

Central Nervous System
The central nervous system is the control center of the body. It includes the brain and spinal cord.

Peripheral Nervous System
The peripheral nervous system consists of a network of nerves that branch out from the central nervous system and connect it to the rest of the body. The peripheral nervous system is involved in both involuntary and voluntary actions.

Vision
You eyes respond to the stimulus of light. They convert that stimulus into impulses that your brain interprets, enabling you to see.

Chapter 15 The Nervous System
Vision
Light coming from an object enters your eye and is focused by the lens. The light produces an upside-down image on your retina. Receptors in your retina then send impulses to your cerebrum, which turns the image right-side up.

Hearing and Balance
Your ears are the sense organs that respond to the stimulus of sound. Ears convert the sound to nerve impulses that your brain interprets.

Chapter 15 The Nervous System
Sound Intensity
Sound intensity, or loudness, is measured in units called decibels. The threshold of hearing for the human ear is 0 decibels. For every 10-decibel increase, the sound intensity increases ten times. Thus, a 20-decibel sound is ten times more intense than a 10-decibel sound. A 30-decibel sound is 100 times more intense than a 10-decibel sound. Sound levels for several sound sources are shown in the bar graph.

Smell and Taste
The senses of smell and taste work closely together. Both depend on chemicals in food or in the air. The chemicals trigger responses in receptors in the nose and mouth.
