    The document summarizes key aspects of the nervous system in 3 parts: 1. It describes the 3 main parts of the nervous system - the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nervous system. 2. It explains the difference between involuntary and voluntary actions, with involuntary actions controlled by the spinal cord like blinking, and voluntary actions controlled consciously by the brain like dancing. 3. It describes how the project represents these concepts using red and blue LEDs to demonstrate the signal pathways for involuntary and voluntary actions respectively.

    NERVOUS SYSTEM

    JEFF R.

    Nervous System
    The Nervous System (NS) is
    composed of 3 main parts:
    1 - The Brain
    2 - The Spinal Cord
    3 - The Peripheral System

    FUNCTIONS
    We're going to show 2 important functions of the Peripheral Nervous System; Voluntary
    and involuntary actions

    Involuntary
    Involuntary (Reflex) actions are when the Spinal Cord intercepts stimulus from the
    outside environment and sends a fast response to your effectors instead of forwarding
    it to the Brain.

    EX: Reflex actions occur all the time. For instance, blinking, digestion and your
    heartbeat are all involuntary actions.

    Representation
    We are representing Involuntary
    actions and the path of nerves with red
    LEDs

    The Sensory nerves detect stimulus


    and sends a signal to the Spinal Cord.

    Voluntary
    A Voluntary action is when you initiate a specific action by your own conscious. Your
    Brain sends impulses to your effectors (muscles, etc) through the Spinal Cord.

    EX: Dancing, running, singing, etc.

    Representation
    We are representing voluntary actions
    and the path of nerves to the effectors
    with blue LEDs

    The Brain sends a signal via Relay


    neurons to motor and sensory nerves
    to perform the action.
