the Human
Nervous
System
 Functions of the Human Nervous System

 VOLUNTARY &
INVOLUNTARY ACTIONS
Which response is a voluntary action and which is
an involuntary action?
 Voluntary Actions
• Conscious actions and conducted
under one’s will.
• All voluntary actions are controlled
by the brain.
• Examples: reading, writing and
eating.
Pathway of impulse in a voluntary action
 Involuntary Actions
• Actions that occur immediately without conscious control or prior thoughts.

Involuntary Actions
Involving spinal cord
Involving medulla oblongata
(reflex actions)
Heartbeat Withdrawing hand
when it accidentally
Breathing touches a hot object

Peristalsis sneezing when dust

enters the nose
Secretion of saliva
Pathway of impulses in an involuntary action
(reflex action)
Importance of the network of human
nervous system in daily life
