 Central Nervous System
 Made up of brain and
spinal cord
 Acts as body’s control
center, coordinates
body’s activities.

 Impulses travel through

the neurons in your
body to reach the
brain.

 Central Nervous
System is yellow in this
diagram.
 Peripheral Nervous System
 Made up of all the nerves
that carry messages to and
from the central nervous
system.
 Similar to telephone wires that
connect all of our houses in the
community
 Central Nervous System and
Peripheral Nervous System
work together to make rapid
changes in your body in
response to stimuli.
 Peripheral Nervous System is
green in this diagram.
Peripheral Nervous System: 2 parts
Somatic Nervous System
Relay information between skin, skeletal muscles
and central nervous system
You consciously control this pathway by deciding
whether or not to move muscles (except reflexes)
Reflexes: Automatic response to stimulus
Autonomic Nervous System
Relay information from central nervous system to
organs
Involuntary: You do not consciously control these
Sympathetic Nervous System: controls in times of
stress, such as the flight or fight response
Parasympathetic Nervous System: controls body in
times of rest
Neurons
 The basic unit of structure and function in the nervous system
 Cells that conduct impulses.
 Made up of dendrites, cell body and an axon
 Neurons

 Dendrites: branch-like extensions that receive impulses and

carry them toward cell body.
 Axon: single extension of the neuron that carries impulses away
from the cell body.
 The axon branches out at ending to send impulses to many
different neurons. Dendrites receive impulses from many other
axons.
The Brain
Three main sections
 Cerebrum
 2 hemispheres
 Controls memory,
intelligence, muscles
 Cerebellum
 Controls balance, posture
and coordination
 Brainstem
 Controls involuntary
activities such as
breathing
 JESUS’ CHARACTER
(Students’ daily life use, you can take the
principle of the month as your reference)

Matthew 17:21 New King James

Version (NKJV)
21 However, this kind does not go

out except by prayer and fasting.”
