The divisions of the nervous system are the Central Nervous System (CNS) and the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS). The CNS is made of two parts the brain and the spinal cord. The PNS is made up the Somatic nervous system and the automatic system. The somatic nervous contains the peripheral nerve fibers that deliver sensory information to the CNS and motor nerve fibers that go to the skeletal muscle. The central nervous system sends messages from the brain to the rest of the body. (Divisions of The

The central nervous system (CNS) is that portion of the vertebrae nervous system that is composed of the brain and spinal cord. Together with the peripheral nervous system (PNS)‚ the other major portion of the nervous system‚ the CNS coordinates the body’s interaction with the environment. The CNS is contained within the dorsal cavity‚ with the brain in the cranial subcavity (the skull)‚ and the spinal cord in the spinal cavity (within the vertebral column). Then human nervous system is the most

Include in your outline the major distinctions among these systems. Human Nervous System – Overview The human nervous system is composed of all nerve tissues in the body. The functions of nerve tissue are to receive stimuli‚ transmit stimuli to nervous centers‚ and to initiate response The nervous system has two distinct parts -- CENTRAL

5/22/13 The job of the central nervous system is to process and send information to the peripheral nervous system. The nervous system consists of the brain‚ spinal cord and a complex network of neurons. The central nervous system is responsible for receiving‚ sending and interpreting information from the whole body. The nervous system also monitors and coordinates internal organ functions and responds to external changes as they occur. The two main organs of the central nervous system are the

Lab IX: Nervous System Histology and Spinal Cord Part II: Neurons and nerve struture 1.) There are three types of neurons. The first is the multipolar‚ which is the most common‚ and they are found as motor neurons and interneurons throughout the central nervous system. The second type of neuron is the unipolar neuron‚ which are also called psuedounipolar neurons. They are found as spinal and cranial sensory neurons. The last neuron is the bipolar neuron. They are only found in olfactory‚ visual
