    Brain - command center
    Spinal Cord - connects brain to body

Peripheral Nervous System
    Sensory Neurons - bring information from body
                                       to the brain
    Motor Neurons - take information from brain to body]]> 2016-05-05 12:33:02 UTC https://padlet.com/farnerc1/wlluy4soriua/wish/109400336 Your Senses:  Sight, Hearing, Touch, Taste, and Smell farnerc1 https://padlet.com/farnerc1/wlluy4soriua/wish/109401057 Your sensory organs collect information to send to the brain]]> 2016-05-05 12:36:45 UTC https://padlet.com/farnerc1/wlluy4soriua/wish/109401057 The Ear farnerc1 https://padlet.com/farnerc1/wlluy4soriua/wish/109401821 2 Functions:  hearing and helping to maintain balance]]> 2016-05-05 12:40:08 UTC https://padlet.com/farnerc1/wlluy4soriua/wish/109401821 Taste farnerc1 https://padlet.com/farnerc1/wlluy4soriua/wish/109402171 We taste 5 basic things.  Most of what we call taste is smell]]> 2016-05-05 12:41:19 UTC https://padlet.com/farnerc1/wlluy4soriua/wish/109402171 Touch farnerc1 https://padlet.com/farnerc1/wlluy4soriua/wish/109402473 Our skin is  has many more sensors near the mouth and on the hand]]> 2016-05-05 12:42:37 UTC https://padlet.com/farnerc1/wlluy4soriua/wish/109402473 Nerve Cell farnerc1 https://padlet.com/farnerc1/wlluy4soriua/wish/109402861 Nerve cells carry information.  Dendrites collect information.
Cell bodies create impulses that travel length of cell.  Axons take impulse to the end of cell where it is turned into a chemical neurotransmitter.]]> 2016-05-05 12:44:28 UTC https://padlet.com/farnerc1/wlluy4soriua/wish/109402861 The Brain farnerc1 https://padlet.com/farnerc1/wlluy4soriua/wish/109403536 Cerebrum - the thinking part of the brain
Cerebellum - coordinates body movement
Brain Stem - connects the brain to the spinal cord.                         Controls breathing, heart rate.

Hormones control many things:

Adrenaline - causes the body to go into  high alert raising heart rate, 
breathing

Insulin - allows the cells to absorb sugars from the blood.]]> 2016-05-05 12:53:39 UTC https://padlet.com/farnerc1/wlluy4soriua/wish/109404896
