We interact with the environment through our sense organs, nervous system and locomotor system. Our sense organs detect information from the environment and our sensory neurons transmit this information to our brain.
SIGTH
SMELL AND TASTE
TOUCH
HEARING
NERVOUS SYSTEM
Nervous system receive information from the senses and then this system sends information to our body.The nervous system are formed by million nerve cells called neurons. We can difference two parts: The central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system.
CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
It is made up of two parts: the brain and the spinal cord. The brain is the control centre and it is made up of three parts: cerebrum, cerebellum and brain stem.
PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
LOCOMOTOR SYSTEM
The locomotor system is made up of Skeleton, joints and muscles.
