detected by the body’s nervous system. These changes are detected‚ interpreted and responded to. By sending electrical and chemical impulses the nervous system sets in place reactions to counteract these conditions. An example of this is if you where to place your foot on a sharp object‚ pain is detected by nerves or receptors in your foot and send a message through your foot‚ leg and into your spinal cord and into the brain which forms part of your central nervous system. This signal is interpreted

When a message comes into the brain from anywhere in the body‚ the brain tells the body how to react. the brain as a central computer that controls all bodily functions‚ then the nervous system is like a network that relays messages back and forth from the brain to different parts of the body. It does this through the spinal cord‚ which runs from the brain down through the back and contains nerves that branch out to every organ

The Biological foundation of Psychology involves the electrical and chemical processes in the nervous system that cause us to feel‚ have fears‚ and develop thoughts. There are many biological factors that can influence psychological functioning. From the neuron to the different parts of the nervous system‚ each can impact mental processes and behavior. Genetics and evolution can also influence psychological functioning. Genetics and evolution
