to analyze the picture.

C. Presentation/Lesson Proper (Discussion)

The Nervous System connects all the body
parts and transmits signals from one part to another. It
is a system of cells, tissues, and organs that regulates  Students will interact during
the body responses to internal and external stimuli. discussion. Answers may vary.
Each part has a specific role as it functions as an
important part of the system.

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:
a.1.Cerebrum – large, upper part of the brain that
controls activity and thought.
a.2. Cerebellum – the part under the cerebrum that
controls posture, balance, and coordination.
 a.3. 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:
a.1 Spinal Nerves – the nerves that carry motor
and sensory signals between the spinal cord and the
body.
a.2 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:
b.1 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.)
b.2 Parasympathetic - it maintains body
functions and restores the body to normal or
relaxed mode.
D. Application
Title of Activity: Mental Practice  Students will perform the task.
 The students will be asked do the activity in
their textbook on pp 131-132 about how practice
affects learning.

E. Generalization:
a. What is nervous system?
b. What are the main functions of each organ of  Student’s answer may vary
the nervous system?

 2. What division of the nervous system is responsible for relaying messages &
processing of information?
a. somatic nervous system
b. CNS

4. It is the largest part of the brain which is controls thought, memory, learning and
etc.
a. cerebrum
b. cerebellum
