7th Grade:
Yesterday we took a closer look at the central nervous system (CNS) which is the largest part of the nervous system. It includes the brain and the spinal cord. The bony skull protects the brain. The spinal cord is protected within the bones of the spine, which are called vertebrae.The day previous to yesterday we learned about Neurons and Nerve Impulses. Neurons are usually classified based on the role they play in the body.
We also classified the main types of neurons are sensory neurons and motor neurons. Sensory neurons carry nerve impulses from sense organs and internal organs to the central nervous system. Motor neurons carry nerve impulses from the central nervous system to organs, glands, and muscles—the opposite direction.
Today we are going to learn all about the Peripheral Nervous System
Summary: The peripheral nervous system (PNS) contains all the nerves in the body that are found outside of the central nervous system. They include nerves of the hands, arms, feet, legs, and trunk. They also include nerves of the scalp, neck, and face. Nerves that send and receive messages to the internal organs are also part of the peripheral nervous system.
