The nervous system consists of the central nervous system (CNS), made up of the brain and the spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system (PNS), the neurons that link the CNS to our skin, muscles, and glands. And we will see that our behavior is also influenced in large part by the endocrine system, the chemical regulator of the body that consists of glands that secrete hormones.…

The nervous system is a collection of nerves with specialized cells. These specialized cells are known as neurons. These neurons transmit signals to different of your body throughout your body. Many also call this the body electrical wiring. The nervous system is control…

The first system of the human body is the nervous system. The nervous system is made up of two parts: the central nervous system, which includes the brain and the spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system, which consists of neurons found all over the body. A person’s brain is like a control room. It helps regulate all the other systems of the body by sending signals down the spinal cord and through the body nerves to all the other organs. In addition, the brain has different parts which specialize in processing thoughts, memories, feelings, dreams, speech, physical coordination, balance, hunger, and sleep. The fact that the nervous system is extremely complicated, without it, your systems in your body could not communicate.…
- Divisions of the Nervous System ! • Central Nervous System (CNS) ! - Brain, spinal cord ! • Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) ! - Sensory (afferent) neurons carries signals toward the CNS !…
The first one is the central nervous system which includes the brain and the spinal cord. The nerves of these two structures are in control of body movement. The second division includes the rest of the nerves and ganglia that are not included in the central nervous system, which serve as communications relay and it’s known as the peripheral nervous system (Marieb, E.N. & Hoehn, K.). The existence of both divisions is very important because their function is necessary in order to maintain a homeostasis. The peripheral nervous pick up stimuli through receptors from the external environment. Stimuli is then sent to the brain for processing via afferent sensory neurons. Once the brain receives the information and processes it, it send a response via efferent sensory neurons. The response gets to effector muscles which can now react to the situation on the external environment. If one or more nerves in either one of the two divisions is damaged, the person’s body would not respond properly to the brain’s demands, putting the person’s life in danger. For this reason, illnesses that put the nervous system at risk of getting damaged need to be taken care of as soon as they are…
2. Central Nervous System- the processing center for the nervous system. It receives information from and sends information to the peripheral nervous system. The two main organs of the CNS are the brain and spinal cord. The brain processes and interprets sensory information sent from the spinal cord.…
