THE NERVOUS SYSTEM

=II. Topic Description:=

The central nervous system has the responsibility for issuing nerve impulses and analyzing sensory data, and includes the brain and spinal cord. The peripheral nervous system is responsible for carrying these nerve impulses to and from the body? many structures, includes the many craniospinal nerves which branch off the brain and the spinal cord. The autonomic nervous system is composed of the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems and is responsible for regulating and coordinating the functions of vital structures in the body.

 * The nervous tissues are composed of **nerve cells** and their various processes, together with a supporting tissue called **neuroglia,** which, however, is found only in the brain and medulla spinalis. Certain long processes of the nerve cells are of special importance, and it is convenient to consider them apart from the cells; they are known as **nerve fibers.** ||  ||
 * To the naked eye a difference is obvious between certain portions of the brain and medulla spinalis, viz., the **gray substance** and the **white substance.** The gray substance is largely composed of nerve cells, while the white substance contains only their long processes, the nerve fibers. It is in the former that nervous impressions are received, stored, and transformed into efferent impulses, and by the latter that they are conducted. Hence the gray substance forms the essential constituent of all the ganglionic centers, both those in the isolated ganglia and those aggregated in the brain and medulla spinalis; while the white substance forms the bulk of the commissural portions of the nerve centers and the peripheral nerves. http://www.answers.com/topic/nervous-system ||  ||

=III. Terminal Objectives:=

At the end of the lesson, the students will be able to:
 * 1) explore the nervous system
 * 2) define terms used in the astructures of the nervous system differentiate the two main divisions of the nervous system
 * 3) describe the central nervous system and the senses describe the peripheral nervous system
 * 4) identify the different structures of the parts of the nervous system using slides.
 * 5) relate the nerves and the different body systems. enumerate the functions of the nervous system. explain the anatomy of the nervous system. identify the food needed by the nerves.
 * 6) list down the most common disorders or diseases of the nerves and the FAQ
