It is amazing how some systems in our body works together in situations to help us to have the ability to react and be alert of our surroundings such as being in danger or suffering from stress which is an important factor of many health problems. The two systems that I am referring to are the endocrine and nervous systems. they help to regulate our bodies back to our normal state to help to maintain healthy functioning. There are two systems that work with one another to signal the brain when something

1. Differentiate between the somatic nervous system and the ANS. Somatic nervous system includes all of the neural pathways (neurons) that result in voluntary actions‚ basically anything that you can tell your brain to do like move your arm or stick out your tongue. The autonomic nervous system includes all of the neural pathways that result in involuntary actions‚ like your brain telling your eyes to blink or your intestines to contract‚ basically anything that you cannot control. 2.

The Central Nervous System is composed of the brain and the spinal cord and one of it’s primary functions is to send out messsages to the rest of the body. One chronic illness that affects the Central Nervous System is Multiple Sclerosis. Roughly 2 million people througout the world have been faced with this disease‚ and “in the United States‚ it is estimated that 450‚000 people are affected‚ with 10‚000 new cases per year” (Goodman & Fuller 772). This disabiling condition has been found more prevelant

Nervous System Differences according to: Motor neurons Sensory neurons Autonomic neurons Function Transmits impulses from the CNS which consists of the brain and spinal cord to muscles and glands elsewhere in the body Transmits impulses inwards from the sense organs to the CNS Located within the CNS‚ they transmit the electrical impulses generated by the stimuli to other nerves Structure Have Dendrites‚ Cell Body‚ Myelin Sheath‚ Node of Ranvier and Synaptic Knobs.

Central Nervous System In the movie the Wizard of Oz‚ the Scarecrow desperately wanted a brain. He opened his lips‚ blinked his eyes‚ shook his head and said‚ “I haven’t got a brain‚ I’ve only got straw.” The reason for the emphasizing of his actions is because without a brain‚ those functions are not possible. The brain is the center of the entire body. It controls what we do and how we do it. The brain is the center of the central nervous system along with the spleen. It consists of 100

THE NERVOUS AND THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM. Humans need both the Nervous and the Endocrine systems basically because they do different things in different ways. They both have a co-ordination role and send instructions to other parts of the body. The nervous system does this by way of neurotransmitters‚( chemical messengers)‚ which are able to get messages through at very high speeds‚ and the endocrine system by way of hormones‚( also chemical messengers)‚ which are released from glands and travel
