  • The Nervous System
    • The nervous system allows you to react to what goes on around you.
    • There are 5 sense organs.
    • Sense organs and receptors are different.
      • The eye is a sense oragan as it contains light receptors.
      • The Ear is a sense oragan as it contains sound receptors
    • The Parts of the Nervous system are:
      • Eyes- light receptors- sensitive to light they are like animal cells.
      • Ears- Sound receptors- sensitive to sound, change position due to sound.
      • Nose- Smell receptors- chemical stimuli
      • Skin- sensitive to; touch, pressure, pain and tempreture change.
      • Sensory Neurones- Nerve cells carry electrical impusles- central nervous system
      • Relay Neurons- Nerve cells carry sensory neurons.
      • Motor Neurons- Carry single from Central nervous system to muscles or glands.
      • Effectors- Muscles+ Glands are effectors
      • Tongue- Taste receptors- sensitive to salt, bitter, sweet and sour.
    • They all contain receptors- sensitive to stimuli, e.g. light energy.
    • Stimuli can be light, sound, touch, pressure, pain, chemical, position or temperature change.
  • The nervous system allows you to react to what goes on around you.

This is really helpful but next time can you split the info on the branches
