Nervous system and Endocrine system Storyboard
Storyboard Text
- Sammy, I was making food and when I got too close to the stove I could feel the heat! How does that happen?
- The reason you feel that sensation is thanks to the Central Nervous System!
- The CNS consists of the brain and spinal cord. They both play a central role in your nervous system. Thanks to them you can sense, think, speak, move, and be aware!
- Wow! When I looked at the sun my pupils contracted and I squinted. I wonder why that happened?
- Sammy and Alex then decide to take a walk outside when Alex makes another realization
- Your PNS is the branched out version of the CNS. The PNS communicates with the CNS so your body can react to stimuli.
- The reason that happens is because of your peripheral nervous system!
- This walk is definitely making me exhausted!
- The somatic nervous system is a component of the peripheral nervous system associated with the voluntary control of the body movements via the use of skeletal muscles.
- Alex, did you know you are able to walk because of your Somatic Nervous system?
- Sammy you have taught me so much about the nervous system, but what about my endocrine system?
- Sure Alex! To start, everyone has a pituitary gland. This gland regulates growth, metabolism, and reproduction through the hormones that it produces
- 1 hour later...
- Thanks for teaching me about the nervous system and endocrine system!
- And then there is the adrenal glands! They are very similar to the pituitary glands, but they are composed of two parts, the medulla and cortex.
- Of course!!
