C. Presenting They make sure the doors open when someone presses a button, the

new lesson This control center is just like our nervous system! The
workers represent the brain and nerves, always receiving information and
giving orders to make sure everything works smoothly. When you touch
something hot, it’s like the control room getting an emergency call. They
quickly send out a message, telling you to pull your hand away.
In today’s lesson, we’re going to explore this amazing system
inside your body – the nervous system – and how it acts like your
body’s control center, constantly making decisions and keeping you safe.
We’ll learn how it sends and receives messages, works with your muscles,
and helps you respond to the world around you!

Procedure:
1. Work in pairs. Tell your partner that you will show him/her two
illustrations. Then he/she draws any of the two illustrations as best
as he/she can remember.

Make a conclusion based on the given problem.

BRIEF DISCUSSION:
The Nervous System
The nervous system is made up of the brain, the spinal cord,
and the nerves. The brain and the spinal cord make up the central
nervous system. The nervous system is the most complex and highly
organized body system. It receives information from the sensory organs
via nerves, transmits the information through the spinal cord, and
processes it in the brain.
The nervous system receives signal or stimulus from inside or
outside the body. For example, the ringing of the phone is a stimulus. A
stimulus is a factor that provokes interest, enthusiasm, or excitement.
Once your nervous system receives a stimulus, it reacts, just reaching for
the telephone as a response to its ring. A response is the reaction to any
part of the body to a stimulus.
The nervous system receives stimuli and after processing them,
gives directions to various parts of the body to coordinate the responses.
The neuron, considered as the working unit of the nervous system,
carries out all these functions.

The Parts of the Neuron

1. Dendrites receive information from the receptor organ or
another neuron and then transmit the message to the cell
body.
2. Cell body
3. Axon conducts information away from the cell body.

- Neurons transmit impulses from one neuron to another. How this happen?
The neurons are too close to each other, but they do not touch each other.
Instead, the axon of one neuron is separated from the dendrites of the other
neuron by the tiny space called synapse.
- To move from one neuron to the next, the impulse must have to cross the
synapse. When the impulse reaches the end of the branch of an axon, the
axon releases chemical into the synapse to the dendrite, and an impulse starts
in the next neuron.
2 Main Parts of the Nervous System
1. Central Nervous System (CNS) controls and coordinates the
activities of the whole nervous system. It contains structures that
receive and process numerous stimuli every minute.
2. The Peripheral Nervous System contains all the nerves outside
 the brain and the spinal cord. It carries the impulses from the
sensory nerves to the Central Nervous System and from the
Central Nervous System to the motor nerves.
The Brain
The brain is the primary organ of the central nervous system. It
receives and interprets countless signals. It makes us conscious,
emotional, and smart. It is the control center for movement, sleep,
hunger, thirst, and every other vital activity necessary for survival. The
brain controls all human emotions like love, hate, fear, anger, elation, and
sadness.
3 Parts of the Brain
1. Cerebrum
The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain. Its is responsible for higher
thought processes such as memory, judgement, and reason. It processes
sensory data, initiating willful motor processes such as voluntary
activities. Different areas or centers in the wrinkled surface of the
cerebrum interpret impulses that come to it from the different parts of
the body.
a. Temporal Lobe- hearing and smelling
b. Parietal Lobe- touch and taste
c. Occipital Lobe- sight
d. Frontal Lobe- movement and speech

2. Cerebellum
- It is the second largest part of the brain. It is located toward the
back and the bottom of the brain. It controls muscle coordination,
maintains normal muscle tone and posture, and coordinates
balance. When you are riding a bicycle, the cerebellum sends
messages to the cerebrum that directs and coordinates the
activity.

3. Brain Stem
- It connects to the spinal cord. It controls involuntary activities like
digestion, heartbeat, and breathing. It has 3 parts: midbrain,
pons, and medulla oblongata. The upper end of the brain stem
is the hypothalamus and the thalamus.
- The hypothalamus regulates homeostasis. Homeostasis enables
an organism to maintain internal balance in the body. It has
regulatory areas for thirst, hunger, body temperature, water
balance, and blood pressure.
- The Thalamus serves as a central relay point for incoming
nervous messages.
The Spinal Cord
- The spinal cord extends from the brain stem down to the buttock
region. It allows signals to be sent from the brain to other parts
of the body. It also receives messages from the different parts of
the body to the brain. It acts as the connection between the
brain and the other parts of the body. An impulse from the
nerves first enters the spinal cord before it is carried to the brain
for processing. Likewise, an outgoing impulse from the brain
travels first to the spinal cord and then out to the parts of the
body along the nerves.

Reflexes
When you touch a hot object, the receptors in the skin are
stimulated. The sensory neurons carry the impulse to the spinal cord. A
group of interneurons in the spinal cord automatically activates the motor
neurons. These motor neurons cause the muscles in your hands to
contract, pulling your hand away from hot objects. The message did not
reach the brain, rather it was completed in the spinal cord. This action,
which does not include the brain, is called reflex. Your body has a built-in
defense mechanism called reflex that works without involving the brain
so you can respond rapidly to the stimuli.
