Prepared by:
Ms. Cristina G. Ebrada
Lesson Objectives:
• Describe the divisions and subdivisions of
the nervous system,
• Label the divisions and subdivisions of the
nervous system together with its
functions, and
• Emphasize how important it is to maintain
our nervous system healthy.
1. What is feedback
mechanism?
2. What are the two
types of feedback
mechanism?
3. Give an example of
feedback mechanism
in our body?

Nervous System
• It is a control system of
the body.
• It enables the body to
gather information from
the outside environment
and respond quickly.

Nervous System
How many nerve
cells are in the
human body?
There are billions
of nerve cells in
the body including
in CNS and PNS.
How many miles of
nerves are in the
human body?
If you were to line
up all the nerves in
the human body end
to end, they would
stretch an incredible
45 miles!
The use of body movements or dance steps to
respond to varied tempo is an action done by
the Somatic Nervous System.

Seatwork 3.3
Write TRUE if the statement is
correct and write FALSE if not.
1. Involuntary responses are
governed by the somatic nervous
system.
2. Voluntary responses are governed
by the autonomic nervous system.
3. Response refers to receiving
information about the environment,
either what is happening outside or inside
the body.
4. Peripheral Nervous System is composed
of the brain and spinal cord.
5. The Sympathetic Nervous System
prepares the body for “fight-or- flight”
responses.

the body respond to very hot
weather.
