is the Nervous System? The nervous system is an organ system that is a network of nerves and fibers that nerve impulses between different parts of the body‚ and is responsible for sending‚ receiving and processing. All the organs and functions rely upon these nerve impulses to function. It’s an example of the body’s master control unit. The nervous system is the control and communication system of your body. its job is to send and receive messages to your body. the nervous system controls

Psychology The Nervous System The nervous system is divided into two main areas‚ the peripheral nervous system and the central nervous system. The central nervous system controls the brain and spinal cord. The average human brain weighs approximately 3 pounds and contains approximately 100 billion neurons‚ as well as trillions of “support cells” called glia. The spinal cord weights approximately 35-40 grams and is around 43 cm long in adult woman and 45 cm long in adult men. The frontal

Why health insurance is important to have Having health insurance is important because having coverage helps people get timely medical care and improves their lives and health. Uninsured people get only half as much care as someone that is privately insured. Uninsured adults get fewer preventive and screening services. Persons who are uninsured that have cancer get diagnosed at a later stage of the disease‚ when treatment is more than likely to be unsuccessful. Adults that are uninsured with

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

Page 1 of 5 The Brain and the Nervous System The human brain and the nervous system are essential for human life. They run the autonomic and conscious processes of the body. All of the body organs and processes independent that not conscious of are controlled by the brain. Being one of the most important of the body when issues there must be immediate solutions or the entire body will shut down. The brain is fragile and has huge functions in the body so it must be taken care of‚ but if not

The Nervous System and Aging Sensory changes can influence the way we see‚ hear‚ taste‚ smell‚ and respond to touch and pain. This in turn affects how we experience the world and react to things. A significant sensory change can rob us of many simple pleasures and complicate the tasks of daily living. It may mean reduced mobility‚ increased dependence on others‚ inaccurate perception of the environment‚ reduced ability to communicate and socialize‚ or loss of self-esteem. Sensory changes vary

Introduction: The overall nervous system is made up of the Central Nervous System and the Peripheral Nervous System‚ with the autonomic nervous system being a division of the peripheral nervous system. The autonomic nervous system regulates glands as well as the smooth and cardiac muscle. There are three separate systems within the autonomic nervous system and are called the sympathetic nervous system‚ parasympathetic nervous system and the enteric nervous system. They are responsible for the ‘fight
