Human Nervous System Model - Small

The nervous system laid out on a mounted board — brain, spinal cord and the peripheral nerve network shown as one connected system.

How it works

1. Begin at the brain and follow the spinal cord down
2. Show nerves branching out to the body
3. Relate the network to sending and receiving signals

What students learn

• Distinguish the central and peripheral nervous systems
• Explain how messages travel through nerves
• Relate the system to reflex actions

Try these experiments

1. Trace a signal from a fingertip to the brain
2. Explain a simple reflex arc
3. Compare the roles of the brain and spinal cord
