Are taste buds part of the central or peripheral nervous system?

Taste buds are receptors in the periphery that activate certain cranial nerves (VII, IX, & X), they therefore they may be considered to be part of the peripheral nervous system.
Given that these are columnar epithelial cells that they may actually be considered to be outside of the nervous system. They do however generate receptor potentials to certain tastants that will intern excite the peripheral axons resulting in action potentials that will eventually make into the central nervous system.

How does the sense organs interact with the central nervous system?
Senses, such as hearing, taste, sight and smell, are transmitted by the spinal cord to the brain for interpretation. The brain and the spinal cord are the two main parts of the central nervous system.
What does the nervous system do?
The Nervous System basically sends messages to the brain and sex kantutan and changes around to my body. Eg: If you trample a nail, the nervous system delivers the message to your brain and you get a pepe and tite. I'm just learning about that. Without pain, we would not be protected from outside danger because we would be numb. We can taste and smell stuff, making life more enjoyable. We can see, otherwise we would be blind. The nervous system is divided into the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system. It helps the body by receiving impulse signals, interpreting these signals and sending appropriate instructions to the muscles and glands.

What body system includes the brain spinal cord and sensory receptors?
The peripheral nervous system, contains all the nerves in the body that lie outside of the spinal cord and brain. They also relay signals from sensory receptors that monitor external conditions to the central nervous system.
What nerve cells that transmit information to the central nervous system from the senses of sight hearing taste touch and smell are the?
messenger neurons
What are the organs that are part of the nervous sytem?
The brain is part of the nervous and central nervous system. The sensory organs are also included: touch (skin), taste (tongue), vision (eyes), hearing (ears) and smell (nose).
How does the cerebral cortex effect taste?
The sense of taste is actually in the brain stem. This is a VERY primitive part of the central nervous system and is found in primitive organisms so it must be important in survival.
What other organ system does the nervous system work with?
Many if not all of the systems such as skeletal system, cardiovascular system, Muscular system, Endocrine system, urinary system, reproductive system, respiratory system, digestive system, Lymphatic system, and integumentary system.
What is the difference between a sensory neuron and a motor neuron?
motor neuron=A neuron that conveys impulses from the central nervous system to a muscle, gland, or other effector tissue. sensory neuron= nerves that take in information from either the outside or from within the body.Sensory neurons receive impulses from your eyes, ears, tongue, nose and skin.Motor areas control your muscle during movement.andA sensory neuron is a nerve cell that transmits impulses to the central nervous system (spinal cord or brain). It is information such as taste, touch, hot, cold, sound, sight or pain. It's cell body is located just outside the central nervous system and has a very short axon which leads into the nervous system. A motor neuron is a nerve cell that transmits direction to muscles and organs from the central nervous system to perform some function. The motor neurones cell body is located in the central nervous system and has a long axon (longest in body is around 1m) This is how these two are different.hop
What parts of the body does the central nervous system effect?
the CNS is the Brain and the Spinal cord which send and receive signals via the peripheral nervous system (all nerves outside the spinal cord)So, pretty much everything really:anything which has voluntary muscular controlsome organs, including heart, lungstemperature across the body is controlled by the hypothlamus, part of the brainthe autonomic nervous system is part of the peripheral nervous system and controls glands including sweat glands, adrenal glands, salivary glands (basically most things which result in things being secreted), sexual excitation, taste and various other miscellaneous phenomena (i.e i cant remember)but it could be argued, by being aware of these things (via consciousness which is generated in the CNS) the CNS indirectly controls these too(you sweat more when nervous, you behave differently when sexually aroused which would lead (hopefully) to being further aroused...etc
