Nervous System
Created by:
Destiny Townley
Function
• 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.
Cooperating with Other Systems
• Cardiovascular system: nervous system modulates heart rate, contractile strength and vascular tone.
Types
• Central: consists of the brain and spinal cord.
• Peripheral: connects the central nervous system to sensory organs (such as the eye and ear), other organs of the body, muscles, blood vessels and glands.
Parts of the Nervous System

• Cerebellum
• Spinal cord
• Brachial plexus
• Musculocutaneous nerve
• Intercostal nerves
• Radial nerve
• Subcostal nerve
• Median nerve
• Lumbar plexus
• Lliohypogastric nerve
• Sacral plexus
• Genitofemoral nerve
• Femoral nerve
•Obturator nerve
•Pudental nerve
•Ulnar nerve
•Sciatic nerve
•Muscular branches of femoral nerve
•Common peroneal nerve

Materials I used to Make Nervous System
• Clay
• Yarn
• Paint
• Poster board
• Glue
• Scissors
Making the Nervous System
1. With some of the clay, mold a brain. Leave a hole at the bottom. Paint.
2. With the rest of the clay, mold a spinal cord. Paint.
3. Push the clay of each together. Glue onto the poster board.
4. Cut one foot of yarn and cut it in half. From a few inches from the top of the spinal cord, glue each piece of yarn to each side.
5. Cut one-in-a-half feet of yarn and cut it in half. From the bottom of the spinal cord, glue each piece of yarn to each bottom-side.
6. Congratulations! You made a 3-D model of a nervous system!
