		About the Brain ^Votes:0 THE NERVOUS SYSTEM The brain is a member of the nervous system family. The nervous system controls all your conscious and automatic actions and sensations in all parts of your body like your thoughts, feelings, memories, heartbeat, blood pressure, body temperature, breathing rate and senses. There are two parts of the nervous system - central and peripheral(pehr-if-er-ul). The central nervous system is composed of the brain and the spinal cord. The branching web of nerves to all the different parts of your body is the peripheral system. The nervous system is controlled by the brain and is connected to the spinal ( spy-nuhl ) cord and the huge network of nerves that run from the spinal cord to all the different parts of the body. ( Show me the diagram! ) Your nerves are like electrical wire Read More Go to Site

		All About the Heart ^Votes:0 Did you give your friends valentines and little heart-shaped candies on Valentine's Day? Do you ever cross your heart when making a promise that you really, really mean? Or turn on the radio to hear a guy singing about his broken heart? We see and hear about hearts everywhere. A long time ago, people even thought that their emotions came from their hearts, maybe because the heart beats faster when a person is scared or excited. Now we know that emotions come from the brain, and in this case, the brain tells the heart to speed up. So what's the heart up to, then? How does it keep busy? What does it look like? Let's find out. Working That Muscle Your heart is really a muscle . It's located a little to the left of the middle of your chest, and it's about the size of your fist. There are lots Read More Go to Site

Materials: Drinking straw thin rubber band wide rubber band plastic cup Place the rubber bands around the cup. What sounds can you now make? Using a straw, gently blow through the straw onto the rubber bands. What happens? See if you can produce different sounds. How do you think the sound was produced? What are some ways that you were able to change the pitch of the sound? Try making another model vocal cord with rubber bands of different sizes. Also try cups of different sizes.

		The Brain Is the Boss ^Votes:0 How do you remember the way to your friend's house? Why do your eyes blink without you ever thinking about it? Where do dreams come from? Your brain is in charge of these things and a lot more. In fact, your brain is the boss of your body. It runs the show and controls just about everything you do, even when you're asleep . Not bad for something that looks like a big, wrinkly, gray sponge. Your brain has many different parts that work together. We're going to talk about these five parts, which are key players on the brain team: cerebrum (say: suh- ree -brum) cerebellum (say: sair-uh- bell -um) brain stem pituitary gland (say: puh- too -uh-ter-ee gland) hypothalamus (say: hi-po- thal -uh-muss) The Biggest Part: the Cerebrum The biggest part of the brain is the cerebrum.

		The Heart ^Votes:0 The Heart The Heart The heart is a pumping system which intakes deoxygenated blood through the veins, delivering it to the lungs for oxygenation and then pumping it into the various arteries to be transmitted to where it is needed throughout the body for energy. The heart is about the size of a fist but delivers a more powerful punch. Luckily for us, it contains a buffer zone to decrease its force or we would be shaken by every beat. This buffer zone also protects the heart from outside injury and keeps it from scraping against the chest wall. In some instances, nightmares can seem so real that the heart will pound in fear. In one study, the heart rate of the sleeper was timed at 150 beats per minute. Myth has it that the heart is the seat of the emotions, but it is, instead, a pump to cir Read More Go to Site

From the moment it begins beating until the moment it stops, the human heart works tirelessly. In an average lifetime, the heart beats more than two and a half billion times, without ever pausing to rest. Like a pumping machine, the heart provides the power needed for life. This life-sustaining power has, throughout time, caused an air of mystery to surround the heart. Modern technology has removed much of the mystery, but there is still an air of fascination and curiosity. Explo Read More Go to Site
