A. Motivation
On this illustration, In your notebook write something about the process of transferring information.
__ __ __ __ as a sensor detect external stimuli then integrate to the ___ ___ ___ ___ ____ then
(sense organ) ( Part of Central Nervous System)
B. Analysis
C. Abstraction
Neurons are nerve cells that transfer information within the body
• Interpreting signals in the nervous system involves sorting a complex set of paths and
connections
• Processing of information takes place in simple clusters of neurons called ganglia or a more
complex organization of neurons called a brain
• Nervous systems process information in three stages: sensory input, integration, and motor output
• Sensors detect external stimuli and internal conditions and transmit information along sensory
neurons
• Sensory information is sent to the brain or ganglia, where interneurons integrate the information
• Motor output leaves the brain or ganglia via motor neurons, which trigger muscle or gland
activity
Many animals have a complex nervous system that consists of
• A central nervous system (CNS) where integration takes place; this includes the brain and a
nerve cord
• A peripheral nervous system (PNS), which carries information into and out of the CNS
• The neurons of the PNS, when bundled together, form nerves
Why our sense organ play important role in the activity of our nervous system?
Our senses detect information
Sensory information sent to the brain
These triggers motor neurons once interpreted by the brain
D. Activity
In your notebook, explain the processing of information using the illustration below.
D1. Find meaning and function of following terminologies using science dictionary or though
internet.
1. Gray matter
2. Spinal cord
3. Quadriceps muscle
4. Stimuli
E. Reflection
1. As a student how are you going to take good care your nervous system?
2. Does the nervous system plays important role in the body? If yes, in what way?
