What are the main cells are in the nervous system?
Glial cell and neurons(nerve cells)
What is the main tissue in the nervous system?
Nervous tissue
What are the main organs NOT INCLUDING the sensory organ?
Brain, spinal cord, and nerves
What is the nervous system?
The nervous system is your body's communication network
What is the brain?
The brain helps you with thinking, feeling, moving, and keeping you alive
What do these cells do?
Glial cells: Help signals move faster and protect the neurons
Neurons: Send messages throughout the body
What is tissue made up of?
tissue is made up of a group of similar cells.
What are the organs in the nervous system INCLUDING the sensory organs?
Brain, spinal cord, nerves, eyes, skin, tongue, ears, and skin
How many parts is the nervous system divided in? and what are the names?
2 parts
CNS and PNS
What is the brain made out of?
Nervous tissue, grey and white water
What tissue does glial cells and neurons make?
Nervous tissue
What is the function of the tissue?
Nervous tissue helps with reflexes and moving your body
What is the spinal cord made out of?
Nervous tissue, white, and grey matter
What organs do each section have?
CNS: Brain and spinal cord
PNS: Nerves
What are the three main structures in the brain?
Cerebrum, cerebellum, and brainstem
What are nerves?
Nerves carry messages between the brain, spinal cord, and the rest of the body
What are the two main types of cells found in nervous tissue, and what are their functions?
The two main types of cells in nervous tissue are Neurons and Glial cells
Explain how the brain, spinal cord, and nerves work together in the nervous system?
The brain, spinal cord, and nerves work together to send and receive messages, helping control movement, senses, and body functions.
What are the functions of the 2 systems?
CNS: Helps you make decisions and solves problems
PNS: Carries messages
What are the functions for the three structures?
Cerebrum: Controls thinking, memory, and movements
Cerebellum: Helps with balance and coordination
Brainstem: Controls breathing and heartbeat.
What are the two types of nerves and their functions?
Sensory: They feel heat, pain, and can touch things
Motor nerves: Tells muscles what to do
What fluid protects the brain?
Cerebrospinal Fluid
What is the function of the main organs?
Brain: Helps with thinking, moving, and keeping you alive
Spinal cord: Send messages between the brain and body and helps you move
Nerves: Helps with passing signals
What is the nervous system, and why is it important for the human body?
The nervous system controls how we think, move, and feel by helping the brain, spinal cord, and nerves work together to keep the body safe and working well.
What are the regions the brain is divided in and where are they located in the region?
The forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain
Forebrain: Includes the cerebrum and controls thinking, memory, emotions, and voluntary actions.
Hindbrain: Includes the cerebellum and brainstem
