    The document provides information about the structure and parts of the nervous system. It can be summarized as follows: The nervous system has two main divisions - the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The CNS contains the brain and spinal cord and serves as the main processing center. The brain has three main parts - the cerebrum, cerebellum, and brain stem. The PNS connects the CNS to the body and has two parts - the somatic and automatic nervous systems. The somatic system controls voluntary movement while the automatic system controls involuntary functions.

    Activity 2

    Break it Down!

    Objective:
    Identify the parts of the nervous system

    Procedure:
    Using the given graphic organizer, fill in the missing parts to complete the entire concept showing the
    structure of the nervous system.

    Guide Questions:
    Q1. How will you differentiate the Central Nervous System (CNS) and the
    Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) in terms of their functions?

    Q2. What might happen to the human body if one part of the nervous system
    fails to carry out its function properly?
    The Nervous System
    The Structure of the Nervous System

    Your nervous system connects all your body parts and transmits
    signals
    from one part to another. It is a system of cells, tissues, and
    organs that regulates the body’s responses to internal and
    external stimuli. Each part of the nervous system has a specific
    role as it functions as an important part of a system.

    Major Divisions and Parts of the Nervous


    System
    1. Central Nervous System (CNS)
    The CNS serves as the main processing center for the entire
    nervous
    system. It consists of two main components, namely the:

    a. Brain
    This is an organ located within the skull that functions as
    organizer and distributor of information for the body.

    It has three main parts:


    Cerebrum – large, upper part of the brain that controls activity
    and thought.
    Cerebellum – the part under the cerebrum that controls posture,
    balance, and coordination.
    Brain Stem – the part that connects the brain to the spinal cord and controls automatic functions such as
    breathing, digestion, heart rate, and blood pressure.

    b. Spinal Cord
    This serves as a channel for signals between the brain and the rest of the body, and controls simple
    musculoskeletal reflexes without input from the brain.

    1. Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)


    The PNS connects the central nervous system to the organs and limbs.
    It has two main divisions:

    a. Somatic Nervous System


    This system is associated with the voluntary control of body movements and has two main parts:
    Spinal Nerves – the nerves that carry motor and sensory signals between the spinal cord and the body.
    Cranial Nerves – the nerve fibers that carry information into and out of the brain stem

    b. Autonomic Nervous System


    This system is associated with the involuntary control of body movements and has two subdivisions:
    Sympathetic - it is activated when the body is in a dynamic role or stress. (e.g., increased heart rate and
    breathing, dilation of pupil, sweating, etc.)
    Parasympathetic - it maintains body functions and restores the body to normal or relaxed mode.
