The spinal cord carries messages to the brain and also to the nerve cells that carry messages from the brain. Your body senses everything. Like something smashing your toe. You react to it. It all sends itself to the brain and it reacts. The cerebrum‚ controls thinking. The nerve cells carry information from all central nervous system. Like certain areas‚ such as the 5 senses. Sensory

synthesis‚ outflow and major effects of each. The two branches of the Autonomic Nervous System are the sympathetic division and the parasympathetic division. The main process of the sympathetic division is to stimulate the fight-or-flight response in the body‚ which means it is in charge of stimulates actions. In the sympathetic system‚ epinephrine and norepinephrine are the main neurotransmitter. In the sympathetic system‚ there are two neurons involved in transmission and they are the pre-ganglion

Introduction Nervous systems are composed of circuits of neurons‚ highly specialized cells that communicate with each other and with other types of cells by electrical or chemical signals.—The central nervous system (CNS) is composed of brain and a nerve cord. The peripheral nervous system (PNS) consists of all neurons and their projections that are outside and connect with the CNS. The most basic circuits is a reflex arc‚ which occurs rapidly in response to inputs from the sensory neurons and

Within the body‚ there are billions of cells that are essential to living – these are called nerve cells. Nerve cells‚ also known as neurons‚ “are the basic information processing structures” (Stufflebeam). There are about 100 billion of these neurons in our nervous system and are the most essential cell in it. Located in brain as well as the spinal‚ there are different types of nerve cells; including: sensory neurons‚ motor neurons‚ and interneuron (Boeree). The neuron is a cell that is structured

What are Cranial Nerves? * Cranial nerves are nerves that come directly from the brain stem in contrast to spinal nerves which come from segments of the spinal cord. * There are twelve Cranial nerves in humans that fit this description. * They mainly serve the motor and sensory systems of the head and neck region; except for the tenth
