III. PROCEDURE/TEACHING STRATEGIES

A. Pre-Speaking

 Performing Routinary Activities

 * Cleaning of the Classroom

* Classroom Management

* Checking of Attendance

* Review of the Past/Previous Lesson

 Motivation

- The teacher shows a picture of a Brain. Afterwards, he asks his students about the
following questions:

Motive Questions:

1.Is anyone here can live without brain?

2. What do you think is the function of our brain?

- The teacher explains why did he ask those questions and it leads to the discussion of the
nervous system.

While Speaking (10 Mins.)

- The teacher will discuss the lesson and she will encourage the students to ask question if
they didn’t understand the lesson.

The nervous system is the major controlling, regulatory, and communicating system in the body.
It is the center of all mental activity including thought, learning, and memory. The nervous
system includes the brain, spinal cord, and a complex network of nerves. This system sends
messages back and forth between the brain and the body. The brain is what controls all the
body's functions. The spinal cord runs from the brain down through the back. It contains
threadlike nerves that branch out to every organ and body part. This network of nerves relays
messages back and forth from the brain to different parts of the body.
The nervous system is made up of the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system:
• The central nervous system includes the brain and spinal cord.
• The peripheral nervous system includes the nerves that run throughout the whole body.
The central nervous system (CNS) is comprised of the brain and spinal cord. The three broad
functions of the CNS are to take in sensory information, process information, and send out motor
signals. The brain is what controls all the body's functions. The brainstem takes in, sends out,
and coordinates the brain's messages. It also controls many of the body's automatic functions,
like breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, swallowing, digestion, and blinking. The brain and
spinal cord are connected to every cell, tissue and organ via our spinal nerve system, and the
purpose of the brain and nervous system is to control, coordinate, and to adapt the body to its
environment. This is why it is called the master control system. The spinal cord is the pathway
for impulses from the body to the brain, and from the brain to the body. These impulses are
different signals our brain sends and receives from our bodies without a spinal cord your brain
and your body couldn't communicate with each other.
The nerves of the peripheral nervous system are responsible for relaying information between
the body and the brain. This includes involuntary body functions such as breathing, blood flow,
and heartbeat as well as sensory information and control of voluntary movement. The peripheral
nervous system refers to parts of the nervous system outside the brain and spinal cord. It includes
the cranial nerves, spinal nerves and their roots and branches, peripheral nerves, and
neuromuscular junctions. In the peripheral nervous system, bundles of nerve fibers or axons
conduct information to and from the central nervous system.

Guide Questions:

1. What is the purpose of Nervous System?

2. Can a brain survive without Peripheral Nervous System?
3. Which part of the Nervous System includes involuntary body functions such as breathing,
blood flow, and heartbeat as well as sensory information and control of voluntary
movement?
4. How Central Nervous System works?
5. How Peripheral Nervous System works?

C. Post-Speaking

- The teacher will distribute a copy of unlabeled nervous system and the students will put a label
on it.
IV. EVALUATION

Analyze the statement below and give the correct answer.

1. It consists of spinal and cranial nerves.

2. It is the main control center of the Nervous System.
3. It carries information into and out of the body.
4. It is the major controlling, regulatory, and communicating system in the body.
5. It is called the master control system.
6.

V. ASSIGNMENT

- The teacher will distribute a copy of unlabeled nervous system and the students will put
a label on it.
