Directions: ANSWER USING COMPLETE SENTENCES! Use the information you have been given to answer questions about: The Nervous System: What are the parts of the Nervous System?

*To improve your MATH SKILLS spend at least 20 minutes practicing them using IXL.COM. (REMEMBER TO ENTER YOUR USER NAME AND PASSWORD WHEN LOGGING ON! THAT WILL BE PROOF THAT YOU DID IT!)

Level#1

Your nervous system is made up of your brain, spinal cord, and a network of nerves. These organs are all made of nerve cells. Your nervous system also includes your sense organs. The main job of your brain is to receive, interpret, ans send impulses to the rest of your body. The brain is made up of more than 160 billion nerve cells. There are three main parts of the brain; the cerebrum, the cerebellum, and the brain stem. 

1. What is your nervous system made up of?





2. What kind of cells make up the organs of your nervous system?





3. What else does you nervous system include?







Level#2

Your nervous system is made up of your brain, spinal cord, and a network of nerves. These organs are all made of nerve cells. Your nervous system also includes your sense organs. The main job of your brain is to receive, interpret, ans send impulses to the rest of your body. The brain is made up of more than 160 billion nerve cells. There are three main parts of the brain; the cerebrum, the cerebellum, and the brain stem. The largest part of the brain is the cerebrum. The cerebrum controls many voluntary muscle movements. It also controls thinking, learning, memory, speech, and decision making. Another job of the cerebrum is to interpret messages from the sense organs. The part of the brain that is located just below the back of the cerebrum is the cerebellum. The cerebellum helps to coordinate muscle movements. The cerebellum also helps you to keep your balance.

1. What are the parts that make up your nervous system, and what are these organs all made up of?






2. What is the main job of the brain, and what is the brain made up of?






3. How many parts is the brain made up of, and what are they?








Level#3

The part of the brain that is located just below the back of the cerebrum is the cerebellum. The cerebellum helps to coordinate muscle movements. The cerebellum also helps you to keep your balance. The brain stem is the third part of the brain. It connects the brain to the spinal cord. In the lower part of the brain stem, there is an organ called the medulla. The medulla controls involuntary body functions such as breathing, digestion, and heart rate.

1. Explain what your nervous system is made up of, what are these organs made of, and what else is a part of this system.









2. Explain what the main job of the brain is, what the brain is made up of, and what are the three main parts of the brain.







3. What is the largest part of the brain, what does it control, and what other job does it do?
