The third book in the series, The Nervous System, teaches the extraordinary, magnificent network that receives processes and transmits signals through the body. Incredibly complex, this system proclaims the reality of a Creator. This book addresses how nerve systems are generated through our body and are transmitted to and from the brain; the structure of the brain; our senses, and explores problems that occur when the nervous system is damaged by disease and injury.

Description
Publisher's Description of Nervous System Vol. 3 (Wonders of the Human Body)
Our nervous system must process vast amounts of information each second, information that comes from all parts of the body. Then nerve signals are sent out in response to those inputs. If this sounds simple, rest assured, it is not. It is all quite extraordinary! As with all things in our fallen cursed world, things do go wrong. We will explore the problems that occur when the nervous system is damaged by disease or injury. When you see the incredible complexity of the nervous system, you will realize that our bodies cannot be the result of chemical accidents occurring over millions of years. The human body is the greatest creation of an all-knowing Master Designer! In The Nervous System, you will learn about:
- How nerve signals are generated throughout the body, and how these nerve signals are transmitted to and from the brain
- The structure of the brain and how it processes input from the body
- Our senses: sight, hearing, taste, and others!
Category Description for Wonders of the Human Body: Introduction to Anatomy & Physiology
Recently updated and expanded, Master Books' Wonders of the Human Body volumes and Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology Teacher Guides introduces upper middle school and high school students to the power of our Master Designer displayed in His most complex creation: humans. Each one-year course includes a softcover textbook and teacher guide.
Each volume of the Wonders of the Human Body covers three topics (one per year) and is written to the student using understandable, straightforward text. Vibrant graphics highlight the textual information and provide students with a valuable visualization of the teaching. Texts include a comprehensive glossary and index. There are no labs or study questions in the textbook. These resources are in the Teacher Guide, making these texts an excellent reference resource for your home library. Teacher Guides provide a weekly lesson schedule based on 5 days per week, reproducible student worksheets, quizzes/tests, and answer keys. Daily lessons will take 30-45 minutes per day. No labs are included. If you would like to incorporate a high school level lab, supplemental resources are available that may work well for your family. Contact us to discuss your needs. Books are available separately or in a package with a student text and teacher guide. Reproducible for family use only.
I appreciate that this series starts out on the right track with clear explanations of the complex concepts, making a valuable teaching tool for families with science or medical background or for a novice family. The lack of experiments may appeal to families who want a solid understanding of anatomy and physiology without the mess of labs, or for those who simply desire a strong foundation for a more rigorous Biology course, like Exploring Creation with Biology, Discovering Design in Biology, or the Science Shepherd Biology curriculum. ~Deanne
