Peripheral Nervous System: The peripheral nervous system lies outside the central nervous system. It consists of two parts the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system. The autonomic nervous system has two parts of its own. Those parts are sympathetic nervous system and …show more content…
This system is composed of the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions. They two both function automatically and involuntary. They also both innervate all internal organs and for each signal, they utilize two motor neutrons. The sympathetic division is located in the middle of the spinal cord. This division would be important in emergency situations. The parasympathetic division is located at the bottom part of the spinal cord.
Neurons: Cells that transmit nerve impulses between parts of the nervous system. There are three types of neurons. First is the sensory neurons, these take messages to the central nervous system. Second is the interneurons, these lie entirely within the central nervous system. These can take input from the sensory neurons. Last is the motor neurons, these take messages away from the central nervous system to an effector. Effectors carry out our responses to environmental changes.
The Nervous System: The nervous system has two parts. The central nervous system which consists of the brain and spinal cord. The second part is the peripheral nervous system (link to the outside world). This part has two parts of its own. The autonomic nervous system and the somatic nervous system. The autonomic nervous system splits into to more parts, the sympathetic nervous system, and the parasympathetic nervous system. All parts play an important part in the nervous
