A ____________________ is any information generated either outside or inside our bodies . Thanks to the ____________________ function we can detect and react to them . They are detected by organs called ____________________ , which are the ____________________ organs with special cells , called ____________________ cells . These detect ____________________ and send signals to the nervous system . Our ____________________ organs are our eyes , ears , nose , tongue and skin .

Response orders are generated by the nervous system . This system contains a series of organs , such as the ____________________ , which interprets the signals sent by the ____________________ organs , generates orders accordingly and sends these orders out to the ____________________ through ____________________ ____________________ called ____________________ ____________________ .

Responses are executed by organs called ____________________ . The principal effectors are the ____________________ ( with bones ) and the ____________________ , which generate movement as a ____________________ to ____________________ .

The nervous system receives the signals from the ____________________ organs . This system is made up of star - shaped cells called ____________________ which specialise in transmitting nerve ____________________ . They have a long slender projection called an ____________________ and various shorter projections called ____________________ . They connect to each other to form 'strings' called ____________________ ; they also connect to the receptor cells and to the effectors . The result is a network which transmits ____________________ ____________________ all over the body .
