Slide 2

Good Morning Bell Ringer #1: Reflect back over winter break.

Slide 3

Bell Ringer #2 Review your notes from last class. Answer the following question using those notes: How did your nervous system help you conduct the activity you did in the computer lab (red light/green light activity)? Yes, this is the same question you answered for bell ringer number 1. Use what you learned last class to add to or change your answer from bell ringer #1.

Bell Ringer 4 Read the following passage While lying in bed one night, John heard a barking noise that seemed to be coming from outside. He looked out the window and saw his yellow lab named Murphy had gotten loose! As he rushed down the stairs to fetch Murphy, John tripped and fell to the bottom of the stairs. He was in a great deal of pain! He then managed to make his way to the bathroom to take some pain relievers. John read the label on the bottle he was to take 2 pills.

Slide 6

Bell Ringer 4 cont After reading the story, explain how John may have used ALL 4 lobes of the cerebrum during this mishap! Use your notes!

This is awesome! O lny srmat poelpe can raed tihs. I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, t he olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rgh it pclae.

Welcome Mr. Durkin!

The Nervous System 1. Two main divisions a. Central Nervous System (CNS) consists of brain and spinal cord b. Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) includes nerves extending from brain and spinal cord c. The CNS receives messages from the PNS, interprets them, and then sends out a response.

Slide 10

Slide 11

Neurons 2. Neurons - nerve cells that transmit messages to and from the spinal cord and brain a. Sensory Neurons carry messages FROM body TO CNS ex. Playing games in computer lab. When light switches to green, a sensory neuron transmits a message from your eye to your brain

Slide 12

Neurons b. Motor Neurons carry message TO body FROM CNS ex. Your brain sends a signal through a motor neuron to tell your finger to click the mouse. c. Interneurons connect neurons

Slide 13

Slide 14

What does a real neuron look like?

Slide 15

3. Structure and Functions of Neurons 1. Dendrites receive information and transmit impulses toward cell body 2. Cell Body large area which contains cell nucleus or power plant 3. Nucleus command center of the neuron

Slide 16

4. Axon transmit impulses away from cell body and toward axon terminal 5. Axon Terminals branched structures at the ends of neurons. 6. Myelin Sheath insulating coat which covers the axon. This helps messages relay faster.

Slide 18

Neuron

Slide 19

Nerves of the Body

Slide 20

Motor Unit Motor Unit A neuron and all the muscles it gives power to.

Slide 21

The Central Nervous System 1. The brain a. Helps you think, remember, reason, feel emotion, and coordinate muscle movement b. Divided into three main parts: cerebrum, cerebellum, brain stem

Slide 22

The Brain

Slide 23

The Central Nervous System 2. The Cerebrum a. largest, most complex part of brain b. right and left sides communicate with each other to coordinate movement. Right controls left side and vice versa. c. left hemisphere is for more concrete thinking d. right hemisphere is for abstract thinking

Slide 24

Are you left or right brained?!

Slide 25

The Central Nervous System 3. Four lobes (parts) of the cerebrum a. Frontal Lobe use of language b. Parietal Lobe sensory information, including feelings of heat, cold, pain, touch c. Occipital Lobe Controls sense of sight d. Temporal sense of hearing and smell

Slide 26

Frontal Lobe Exercise: Unscramble the following words: LLBA DLOFER EPONH PHELNATE ICINMDEE

Slide 27

Parietal Lobe Exercise: 1. Blow on your hand 2. Now, puff your breath on your hand

Slide 28

Temporal Lobe Exercise: Whisper down the lane! Shhhh!

Slide 29

Whisper She sells seashells by the sea shore. Eleven owls licked eleven little liquorice lollipops." If two witches were watching two watches, which witch would watch which watch? If you want to buy, buy, if you don't want to buy, bye bye!"

Slide 35

Lobes of the Brain

Slide 36

The Central Nervous System 4. The Cerebellum a. second largest part of brain b. maintains bodys posture and balance c. coordinates complex muscle movements like serving a volleyball or playing violin

Slide 37

Balancing Competition!!!

Slide 38

The Central Nervous System 5. The Brain Stem a. 3 inch long stalk of nerve cells that connect the spinal cord to the rest of the brain

Slide 39

The Central Nervous System b. five parts 1. Medulla Oblongata regulates heartbeat, breathing rate 2. Pons controls muscles of eyes and face. 3. Midbrain controls pupil size 4. Thalamus relays incoming information from the eyes, ears, and pressure receptors in skin 5. Hypothalamus regulates body temp, appetite, sleep

Activity 1 Find pulse/HR 25 Jumping Jacks! Jog in place!

Slide 42

Brain Stem 1. Medulla Oblongata regulates heartbeat, breathing rate

Activity 2 Watch the video!

Slide 44

Activity 2

Slide 45

Brain Stem 2. Pons controls muscles of eyes and face.

Slide 46

Activity 3 Find a partner Look into their eyes!!! oooooooo

Slide 47

3. Midbrain controls pupil size

Slide 48

Activity 4 What does a switch board do?

Slide 49

4. Thalamus relays incoming information from the eyes, ears, and pressure receptors in skin

Slide 50

Activity 5 Imagine you are stranded on a cold (20 degree) deserted island with no supplies, food, or shelter. You havent slept in two days, nor have you ate in two days. How would you be feeling???

Slide 51

5. Hypothalamus regulates body temp, appetite, sleep

Slide 52

The Peripheral System 1. Broken into two parts a. Autonomic Nervous System controls involuntary functions such as digestion and heart rate - you cannot control this; it is automatic! (autonomic) b. Somatic Nervous System voluntary responses that are under your control - feeling and itch on your skin and scratching it, or giving someone a high five

Slide 53

The Peripheral System 2. Autonomic Nervous System a. Broken down into two smaller networks b. First part is the Sympathetic nervous system Watch these clips https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J- qQbIiOtYM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=- mUDknB2YWM

Slide 54

Sympathetic Nervous System - kicks in when you are startled. Your heart rate increases. Also, blood vessels dilate to allow for greater blood flow. - Fight or flight response - Rush of adrenaline - Example You pick! Write one down

Slide 55

So, how exactly does all this work? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdJpLvSTZMU

Slide 56

The Peripheral System c. The second part: Parasympathetic nervous system opposite of sympathetic nervous system - slows heartbeat, relaxes blood vessels, lowers blood pressure

Slide 57

Problems of the Nervous System 1. Headaches caused by muscle tension, eyestrain, sinus infection, dehydration, or food allergies 2. Head injuries a. concussion a temporary loss of consciousness

Slide 58

Problems of the Nervous System 3. Spinal Injuries a. swelling of spinal cord tissue can result in temporary loss of nerve function b. if spinal cord is severed, you may become paralyzed.

Slide 59

Problems of the Nervous System 4. Meningitis inflammation of the spinal and cranial meninges caused by a virus or bacteria a. symptoms include fever, headache, light and sound sensitivity, and neck stiffness. b. can result in death

Slide 60

How to care for/prevent these problems: 1. Eat a well-balanced diet, exercise regularly, get lots of sleep! 2. Wear protective devices helmet, seat belt 3. Stay away from drugs and alcohol!!!
