2 Classroom Rules You'll get one warning, then you'll have to leave the room! Punctuality- Everybody's time is precious: You get here by the start of class, I'll have you out of here on time. Getting back from breaks counts as being late to class. Participation- No distractions: No side talking. No laying down. No inappropriate clothing. No food or drink except water. No phones in classrooms, clinic or bathrooms.

3 Lesson Plan: 42a Nervous System 1 5 minutes: Breath of Arrival and Attendance 50 minutes: Nervous System 1

4 Introduction

5 Introduction The body uses two systems to monitor and stimulate changes needed to maintain homeostasis: endocrine and nervous. Endocrine System Nervous System

6 Introduction The endocrine system responds more slowly and uses hormones as chemical messengers to cause physiologic changes. Endocrine System 1. Slow response 2. Hormones Nervous System

7 Introduction The nervous system responds to changes more rapidly and uses nerve impulses to cause physiologic changes. Endocrine System 1. Slow response 2. Hormones Nervous System 1. Rapid response 2. Nerve impulses (and neurotransmitters too)

8 Introduction It is the nervous system that is the body's master control and communications system. It also monitors and regulates many aspects of the endocrine system. Endocrine System 1. Slow response 2. Hormones Nervous System 1. Rapid response 2. Nerve impulses (and neurotransmitters too) 3. Body control 4. Body communications 5. Monitors and regulates the endocrine system

9 Introduction Every thought, action, and sensation reflects nerve activity. We are what our brain has experienced. If all past sensory input could be completely erased, we would be unable to walk, talk, or communicate. We would remember no pain or pleasure.

11 Brain Spinal Cord Nerves

12 Sensory input Interpretive functions Motor output Higher mental functioning and emotional responsiveness Physiology

13 Physiology Sensory input Sensory receptors detect changes, or stimuli, inside the body such as lowered blood sugar levels, or outside the body such as an increase in temperature. Receptors carry nerve impulses into the spinal cord and brain.

14 Physiology Interpretive functions The spinal cord and brain integrate sensory, Information. They analyze it, store some of it, and decide on appropriate responses.

15 Physiology Motor output Motor neurons carry nerve impulses from the brain and spinal cord to smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, skeletal muscle, and glands.

16 Physiology Higher mental functioning and emotional responsiveness Examples: cognition, memory, joy, excitement, anger, anxiety.

62 Synaptic Transmission: A one-way process 3. The neurotransmitters bind with receptor sites on the postsynaptic neuron, which brings about either an excitatory or inhibitory response by the postsynaptic neuron depending on which neurotransmitter is being used.
