Stimulus - Response
Stimulus is a change in an organisms
surroundings that causes the organism to
react
Response is an action or change in
behavior that occurs as the result of a
stimulus.
Example:
Stimulus is you are thirsty.
Response is you drink water.
Stimulus is you see a tiger.
Response is ___________.

3 kinds of neurons
1.Sensory neurons
2.Interneurons
3.Motor neurons
Motor neuron
A motor neuron sends an
impulse to a muscle, and the
muscle contracts in response.
Sensory Neuron
A sensory neuron picks up
stimuli from the internal or
external environment and
converts each stimulus into a
nerve impulse.
Interneuron
It is a neuron that carries
nerve impulses from one
neuron to another (a bridge).
Brain consists of
1. Cerebru

2. Cerebellu

Partner Chat:
1. List 2 functions of the Nervous
System
2. List the 3 types of neuron
3. Which neuron takes the
message from the brain to muscle.
4. Give example of stimulus and
response.
Central
Nervous
System
(Brain and
Spinal cord)
Peripheral
Nervous System
(nerves connect
to body)
Cerebrum
Interprets input from the senses.
Carries out complex mental processes
such as learning, remembering, and
making judgments.
Divided into right and left half.
Cerebrum cont.
Right half controls movement of left
hand and vice-versa.
Right half associated with creativity
and artistic ability.
Left half associated with
mathematical skills, speech, writing,
and logical thinking
Cerebellum
Brainstem
Lies between the cerebellum
and spinal cord.
Controls your bodys
involuntary actions.
Regulates breathing and
control heartbeat.
Spinal Cord
The vertebral column
surrounds and protects the
spinal cord.
The spinal cord is the link
between your brain and the
peripheral nervous system.

Assessment:
1. Which part of the brain controls balance,
posture and muscle coordination.
2. Which specific part of the cerebrum (not left
or right) controls complex thinking such as art
and math. (video)
3. Which system consists of a network of nerves
that branch out from the central nervous
system and function to connect it to the rest
of your body.
4. Which peripheral nervous system controls
involuntary actions
5. Draw a neuron and label its parts: dendrites,
axon, axon tip, cell body and nucleus
