How Does The Brain Affect The Nervous System
What I learned in this unit is that the brain is made up of several special parts, each of

them work in different parts. The brain has many jobs. It controls our spinal cord, our central

nervous system and our nervous system. The spinal cord carries messages to the brain and also to

the nerve cells that carry messages from the brain. Your body senses everything. Like something

smashing your toe. You react to it. It all sends itself to the brain and it reacts. The cerebrum,

controls thinking. The nerve cells carry information from all central nervous system. Like

certain areas, such as the 5 senses. Sensory receptors get information from the body. The eyes,

ears, nose, tongue, and skin are your sensory receptors. The motor nerve cell

    It connects with the peripheral nervous system and the brain. The spinal cord s considered as an extension of the brain. It transmits information from the body to brain and from the brain to the body. An example of the spinal reflex is touching hot objects. The sequence begins with a sensory stimulus (hot object) and ends with a behavioral response (withdrawing the hand) involves sensory, interneurons, and motor neurons, as stated by Lilenfield, S., Lynn, S., Namy, L., & Woolf, N.

    The Video begins by explaining what we learned in class on Thursday about how the brain is made up of and how it works. It explained that a message will travel down axon then the message travels into the dendrites that release the message into the synapse. The brain becomes the most complex thing in the universe because it controls so many different things in the human body. It regulates our metabolism, temperature and respiration. It also enables us to learn, remember and decide. The video then moved on to talking about a new breed of scientists called neuroscientists. They are guided my the assumption that everything in the brain can be explained by biological or chemical events taking place within it either through out the entire brain or a region within. It went on to explain certain parts of the brain such as the brain stem, which controls life support in the body. The cerebellum that controls body movement and the limbic system which maintains the bodies inside workings and controls emotions.…
