Skills Assessment Exercise 2 - Proofreading Directions provides a proofreading task for a lesson titled “The Nervous System” within the “Coordination and Control 03.01” module. Learners are instructed to review the text using the FLVS Proofreading Style Guide, identify defects, and record each issue with specific location details and requested changes in the referenced review comments spreadsheet. The lesson content covers nervous system components, parts of a neuron, and central versus peripheral nervous system organization, including key definitions and protective structures.

Skills Assessment Exercise 2 Proofreading Directions: Proofread the following Lesson based off of knowledge ofFLVS Proofreading Style Guide. Record all defects in the "Skills Assessment Exercise 2-Proofreading Review comments Spreadsheet". Be sure to fill out all columns and be specific in noting location of defect and requested change.

Guided notes are provided for this task. Fill in the as you move through each lesson in the module. The Nervous System Walking down a sidewalk, you quickly leap over a puddle of water to avoid getting wet. You continue on your walk, pretty pleased with your leaping skills. "I could have jumped a puddle twice the length," you assert. You are probably right, but you could not have done so without the help of your nervous system. The main components of the nervous system work together to take in input and turn it into action in the body. Explore the main components and their function below. | Component | Function | | --- | --- | | Brain | Processes sensory information | | Spinal cord | Allows signals to be transmitted between sensory organs, neurons, and the brain | | Nerves | Send and receive signals for the body | | Neurons | Nerve cells that make up the nervous system | | Interneurons | Nerve cells found only in the brain and spinal cord that move nerve signals in both directions | | Motor neurons | Cells of the brain and spinal cord that send commands from the brain to muscles and organs to carry out functions | | Sensory neurons | Neurons that sends signals to and from the body to the brain and spinal cord | | Glial cells | A type of cell that provides physical and chemical support to neurons | | Unless Otherwise Noted All Content © 2023 Florida Virtual School.

They receive and process signals from other neurons. The number and size vary based on function of particular nervous tissue. Cell Body This is also called the soma. The cell body contains all of the cell's organelles. Nucleus House the genetic material of the cell. Myelin Sheath Fatty substance that coats the axon to speed up signals. Axon Terminals Smaller fibrous roots branch from the axon's end. They send signals to other cells of the body. Axon Long structure that transmits signals through the nerve cell to and from other cells or tissues. Synapse The space between one neuron to another neuron or cell body. The nerve impulse travels through the synapse in the form of neurotransmitters.

The different components of the nervous system are combined into two main systems, the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. Then these systems are subdivided into additional systems based on what they accomplish for the body. Central Nervous System (CNS) If you place a ﬁnger on your nose, it will be roughly in the center of your body. That line would cut through the b

FAQs
