What is the 2 parts of the nervous system?
The autonomic nervous system and the somatic nervous system.
What 2 groups is the perpheral nervous system divided into?
If I remember correctly, there is of course the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system, further divided into the sympathetic and the parasympathetic nervous systems.
What are the 2 divisions of the peripheral nervous system?
The sensory division of the peripheral nervous system transmits impulses from sense organs to the central nervous system. The motor division transmits impulses from the central nervous system to the muscles or glands.
What the peripheral system do?
Peripheral System is a division of the Nervous System. They have 2 types of cells. The sensory nervous cells carry information to the central nervous system; and the motor nervous cells carry information from the central nervous system. The Peripheral System is also divided into the somatic nervous system (controls the voluntary muscles) and the automatic nervous system (controls involuntary muscles).
What does the peripheral system do?
Peripheral System is a division of the Nervous System. They have 2 types of cells. The sensory nervous cells carry information to the central nervous system; and the motor nervous cells carry information from the central nervous system. The Peripheral System is also divided into the somatic nervous system (controls the voluntary muscles) and the automatic nervous system (controls involuntary muscles).
Name 2 parts of the peripheral nervous system?
the peripheral nervous system consists of 2 types of nerve systems: 1.cranial and spinal nerves 2.autonimic nervous system; which is further catogerized as : sympathetic nervous system and parasympathetic nervous system. the cranial and the spinal nerves ramify and connect the spinal cord and brain (the central nervous system) to whole of the body. while the autonomic nervous system is responsible for controling the actions of the glands; the functions of the respiratory, circulatory, digestive, and urogenital systems; and the involuntary muscles in these systems and in the skin.
Is the nervous system divided into three major parts?
The nervous system is divided into two parts: I. Central Nervous System a. Brain b. Spinal Cord II. Peripheral Nervous System a. Somatic Nervous System (voluntary muscle movements) b. Autonomic Nervous System (involuntary muscle movements) 1. Sympathetic Nervous System (flight or fight) 2. Parasympathetic Nervous System (rest and digest)
What are the four parts of the nervous system?
You could define the 5 major parts of the nervous system by saying they are:the central nervous system, and the somatic, sympathetic, parasympathetic and entericnervous systems.However, a better way of describing the parts of the nervous system is todivide it into two main parts and then sub-parts:the main parts:the Central Nervous System (CNS, brain & spine),and the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS, all the nerves and neurons outside the brain and spine).Then the peripheral nervous system is divided intothe somatic nervous system (nerves which control the voluntary muscles) andthe autonomic nervous system (nerves which control visceral functions or organs like the heart or stomach);and the autonomic nervous system is itself divided into thesympathetic (fight-or-flight emergency response),parasympathetic (relaxation),and enteric (digestive) nervous systems.
What are the two divisions of the nervous system?
There are 2 separate divisions of the nervous system. These 2 divisions are the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system.
What are the main components of the nervous system?
The somatic and autonomic nervous systems. The somatic nervous system has nerves that connect voluntary skeletal muscles and sensory receptors. It is made of afferent nerves that carry info to the CNS and efferent fibers that carry neural impulses away from the CNS. The autonomic system, mediates physiological arousal. This system has two components: the sympathetic nervous system that mobilizes the body to respond to emergencies and the parasympatheic nervous system that helps conserve the body's energy and helps return the body back to normal activity after an emergency.
The 2 components of the nervous system?
central nervous system and peripheral nervous system
What are 2 sections of your nervous system?
the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system
