Слайд 2

It consists of the brain, the spinal cord, which runs from

the brain and down through your backbone, and a gigantic network of nerves

Слайд 3

The brain is like the central computer for the nervous system.

It receives messages from different parts of the body, and then tells the body how to react.

Слайд 4

If you touch a hot pan by accident, the nerves in

your skin form a message of pain. The message gets passed on through the nerves in the spinal cord to the nerves in the brain. The brain takes this message, translates it, then sends a message back telling the muscles to pull your hand away from the heat. This all happens in less than a second!

Слайд 5

The brain is a very complex organ with many different parts.

Слайд 6

The biggest part is the cerebrum, responsible for intelligence, memory,

personality, emotion, speech and the ability to feel and move.

Слайд 7

Next is the smaller cerebellum, controlling balance, movement and coordination, and

the brain stem. This is responsible for taking in, sending out and coordinating all of the brain's messages - just like a secretary! It also controls many automatic body functions such as breathing, heart rate and digestion.
