    The document summarizes the structure and function of the nervous system and how it responds to stimuli. It describes the main parts of the nervous system including neurons, nerves, the central nervous system, sense organs, sensory neurons, relay neurons, motor neurons, effectors, receptors, and synapses. It also provides a diagram of the reflex pathway that shows how a stimulus is detected by a receptor and transmitted via sensory neurons, relay neurons, and motor neurons to produce a response in the effector.

    Section 1- Structure of the Nervous System
    (CNS)
    Structure Function

    1. Neurone Specialised cells that electrical impulses are passed through.


    2. Nerve Bundles of hundreds/thousands of neurones.
    Made up of your brain and spinal cord. Your brain co-ordinates all
    3 Central Nervous System (CNS)
    responses and sends impulses out again.
    4 Sense Organs
    Organs which detect changes on the outside e.g. smell (nose), touch A Synapse
    (skin), sight (eye). (10)
    5 Sensory Neurone Cells that carry impulses from your sense organs to your CNS.
    Connect a sensory neurone to a motor neurone. They are found in
    6 Relay Neurones
    the CNS.
    7 Motor Neurone Carry information from the CNS to parts of your body (effectors)
    Muscles or glands which respond to an impulse and make a change
    8 Effector
    happen.
    9 Receptor Found clustered in your sense organs and pick up changes (stimuli).
    A physical gap or junction between neurones. Chemicals called Reflex Pathway
    10 Synapse neurotransmitters diffuse across the gap as the electrical impulse
    CANNOT jump. Stimulus Receptor Sensory Relay Motor Effector Response
