INFORMATION ABOUT THE SMALL IDEA
Cell > Growth and development of organisms > Information processing
The brain communicates with the whole body through neural networks that are formed by numerous nerve cells. These cells receive, process and transmit information using electrical and chemical signals. Through this network the brain regulates all body functions while perceiving changes in the environment.
Connection to Big Idea about evolution: The more complex the organism, the more complex the nervous system it has and the greater the perceptual capacity.
