4.      Spinal cord- The thick column of nervous tissue that links the brain to most of the nerves in the peripheral nervous system

5.      Peripheral nervous system- Division of the nervous system made up of all the nerves outside of the central nervous system.

6.      Cerebrum-  the largest part of the brain, responsible for functions such as movement, the senses, speech, and abstract thought.

7.      Cerebellum- Coordinates the actions of the muscles and helps maintain balance.

8.      Nearsightedness- people with this have trouble seeing objects far way, but can see close objects clearly.

9.      Farsightedness- people with this condition have trouble seeing nearby objects clearly.

10.  Brain stem- Controls your body’s involuntary actions, those that occur automatically, such as your heartbeat and breathing.

 Nervous system part 2/Digestion

  1. Retina- the layer of receptor cells that lines the back of the eye, is like the film in a camera.
  2. Drug- is any chemical taken into the body that cause changes in a person’s body or behavior.
  3. Tolerance- is a state in which a drug user needs larger and larger amounts of the drug to produce the same effect on the body.
  4. Addiction- the body becomes physically dependent on the drug.
  5. Withdrawal- a period of adjustment that occurs when a person stops taking a drug on which the body is dependent.
  6. Depressants- are drugs that slow down the activity of the CNS, when people take these they may take longer than normal to respond to stimuli.
  7. Stimulants- Speed up the body processes, makes the heart beat faster and make breathing rate increase.
  8. Alcoholism- a disease in which a person is both physically addicted to and emotionally dependent on alcohol.
  9. Digestion- the process by which you body breaks down food into small nutrient molecules.
