communication systems in the brain The Nervous System and the Endocrine System Nervous System: extensive network of nerve cells that carry messages in pulses of electrical and chemical energy throughout the body. This is the network that first comes to your rescue by accelerating you heart and tensing your muscles for action. Endocrine System: a slower acting communication network that sends a follow up message that supports and sustains that support the emergency response initiated by the nervous system

This perspective shows the psychologist which areas of systems interact to influence behavior. Humans are biopsychosocial systems‚ in which biological‚ psychological‚ and social-cultural factors interact to influence our behavior. NEURAL COMMUNICATION 2-2: What are neurons‚ and how do they transmit information? Neurons are the basic components of the nervous system. The body uses these neurons in its electrochemical information system rather quickly. A neuron receives signals through its dendrites

Joyce Avedesian Environmental Stimulus and Physical Effects on Patellar Reflex May 8‚ 2014 Introduction The purpose of this experiment was to monitor our body’s reaction to stimulation and see how our nervous system‚ specifically the somatic nervous system can affect the patellar reflex. “The patellar reflex‚ also known as the knee jerk reflex is an example of a simple two neuron‚ monosynaptic reflex arc”(Marieb‚ Mitchell and Smith‚ 2014). We tested the strength of the knee

Sponges are a group of aquatic invertebrates (animal without a backbone). There are five thousand to ten thousand known species. Sponges are multicellular organisms which have bodies full of pores and channels‚ allowing water to circulate through them. Sponges do not have nervous‚ digestive or circulatory systems. Instead most rely on a constant water

Neurons: The Basic Elements of Behavior Neurons‚ or otherwise called nerve cells‚ are the basic elements of our nervous systems. We have as many as one trillion nerve cells throughout our bodies. These cells are responsible for controlling our behavior. So what is a neuron? “A neuron is a nerve cell that is the basic building block of the nervous system. Neurons are similar to other cells in the human body in a number of ways‚ but there is one key difference between neurons and other cells

The human beings’ nervous system consists of the brain‚ spinal cord‚ and the nerves. The nervous system enables a way for the brain to receive information about someone’s surrounding. Then‚ the brain is able to send signals to various areas of the body‚ so it can respond. Millions and millions of cells called neurons creates the nervous system. “Specialized neurons called receptors are located in the ears and eyes and the other sense
