1) NERVOUS SYSTEM - EL SISTEMA NERVIOSO. Page 6.

PICTURE SENSE ORGAN ACTIONS

TOUCH SKIN (piel) We identify hot or cold, hard (duro) or soft

(blando), smooth (liso) or rough (áspero)
(tacto)

SIGHT EYES (ojos) We use the eyes to see. We identify

colours, shapes (formas), size (tamaño)
(vista) and distance.

TASTE TONGUE (lengua) We identify different flavours (sabores).

(gusto)

SMELL NOSE (nariz) We use the nose to smell. We identify

different smells.
(olfato)

HEARING EARS (orejas) We use the ears to hear. We identify loud

(alto), quiet (bajo), high(agudo), low
(oído) (grave).
2) ANSWER THE QUESTIONS:

We use the EYES to: SEE (ver) What sense we use to identify TOUCH
hot or cold?

We use the EARS to: HEAR (oír) What organ do we use to EARS (orejas)
hear?

We use the SKIN to: TOUCH (tocar) What is the organ of sight? EYES

We use the NOSE to: SMELL (oler) What is the organ of touch? SKIN (piel)

We use the TONGUE to: TASTE What organ do we use to taste TONGUE (lengua)
(saborear) flavors?

square, or rough (agradable) or
rectangle…) (áspero)? noisy (ruidoso)?

4) WHAT IS IT?

It controls everything BRAIN They are fibres. They NERVES

in the body. send messages to the
brain from the
locomotor system and
the senses.

Circle the spinal cord. Circle the brain

It is inside the SKULL BRAIN It connects the brain to SPINAL CORD

(CRÁNEO): most of the nerves:

What are the fibers that SPINAL CORD OR What is the organ that BRAIN (CEREBRO)
connect the brain with NERVES controls the body?
the rest of the body?

5) WRITE THE NAME LOCOMOTOR SYSTEM = SISTEMA LOCOMOTOR

They are tissues (TEJIDOS) that connect bones to muscles. TENDONS

They are soft (BLANDO) and elastic tissues. We can move some of them. MUSCLES (MÚSCULOS)
Others move automatically.

They are the connections of bones. JOINTS

(ARTICULACIONES)

They are hard and rigid. Support the body and protect it. BONES

6) WHAT ARE THEY?

MUSCLE JOINT

TENDONS
BONE
7) PUT THE SEQUENCE IN ORDER: SEND ES ENVIAR

2 The ear nerve sends (ENVÍA) a message to the brain.

4 The spinal cord sends a signal to the nerves of the leg.

1 You hear the school bell with your ear.

3 The brain sends a message to the spinal cord.

FROM THE NERVES OF THE LEG...

7 The tendons move the bones of the leg.

8 You run to your line (file).

6 The muscles of the leg move the tendons.

5 The nerves of the leg move the muscles of your leg.

8) MAIN BONES AND JOINTS OF THE BODY: CUT, PASTE AND LABEL
