Phoenix Material Appendix B Structures of the Nervous System This activity will increase your understanding of the different structures of the nervous system and brain. During the Web activity‚ you will view a variety of structures of the brain and nervous system and label each with the appropriate term. You will use this document to write a description for the terms you used in the activity. As you conduct the Structures of the Nervous System activity‚ follow along with this Word document

Premium Nervous system Inflammation Brain
If you think of the brain as a central computer that controls all the functions of your body‚ then the nervous system is like a network that relays messages back and forth from it to different parts of the body. It does this via the spinal cord‚ which runs from the brain down through the back and contains threadlike nerves that branch out to every organ and body part. When a message comes into the brain from anywhere in the body‚ the brain tells the body how to react. For example‚ if you accidentally
Premium Brain Central nervous system Nervous system
The nervous system comprises the central nervous system which is made up of the brain and spinal cord‚ with the main functions being processing information and determining responses and the peripheral nervous systems which is made up of all sensory‚ motor and inter neurons within the body and these are located on peripheral nerves. All of them work together to collect sensory data and also control the actions of the body. Sensory neurons collect sensory information and convey it to the brain‚ and
Premium Nervous system Hypothalamus Brain
Central Nervous System: The central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord. The brain controls bodily functions. The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain in humans. The cerebrum is the last place that information travels through in the brain. The spinal cord is the part of the body that communicates between the brain and the nerves that connect to the spinal cord. The spinal cord is commonly known as a pathway from the brain to the body. Peripheral Nervous System: The peripheral

It has many‚ many parts. The nervous system is divided into two main systems‚ the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system. The spinal cord and the brain make up the CNS. Its main job is to get the information from the

Chapter 16 The Autonomic Nervous System Sympathetic (Thoraco-lumbar) division Parasympathetic (Cranial-sacral) division Somatic Motor vs Visceral Motor ■ ■ ■ ■ Somatic motor is directed from cortical levels to skeletal muscles and is voluntary. Visceral motor is directed from hypothalamus and midbrain and is involuntary‚ but has input from cortex and thalamus. Somatic lower motor neuron is in ventral horn of gray matter and neurotransmitter at skeletal muscle is Ach. Visceral motor comes from

Premium Action potential Neuron Nervous system
1. Explain both the anatomical and functional divisions of the nervous system. Include the subdivisions of each. The nervous system’s function is to monitor stimuli occurring inside and outside the body‚ process and interpret this sensory input‚ and respond by activating effector organs. It consists of the Central Nervous System (brain and spinal cord)‚ and the Peripheral Nervous System (neurons that carry messages to and from the CNS). 2. Describe the composition and function of the cell

Emily Muñoz 1/7 period Nervous System The nervous system consist of all the nerves the body has. Controlling not only the actions the body takes but the emotions a human being feels. The spinal cord‚ brain‚ and many nerves revolve around the nervous system. There are three overlapping functions that use millions of sensory receptors‚ that monitor the body. By monitoring the body the functions detect any changes the human body has had.Two components separate the nervous system allowing us to focus
