Does the nervous system transmit information that tells your muscle and otherinternal organs how to react?

The nervous system does not tell muscles how to react. The nerves transmit electrical pulses that make muscles contract. Different nerves attached to different muscles strands control how a muscle reacts. For example, nerves going to some arm muscles when they contract may make your elbow bend. Nerves going to a different set of muscles when made to contract may make your arm straighten out at the elbow. Using all muscles in that area allows you to maintain a bent elbow in a specific position.

What part of the nervous system coordinates incoming information from the senses and sends instructions to the muscles and glands?
The central nervous system, which consists of the brain and spinal cord, coordinates incoming sensory information and sends instructions to muscles and glands. This information processing allows for both voluntary and involuntary responses to stimuli.
What system stimulates muscle to contract and interprets information from sensory organs?
The central nervous system.
The branch of the nervous system that receives sensory information and controls muscle movements is the?
somatic nervous system which is a part of peripheral nervous system.
What cells transmit and receive impulses?
nervous tissue.
What is acetylecholine?
Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter that helps transmit electrical nervous impulses from one nerve to another. Commonly found when a nerve terminates in a muscle (the neuromuscular junction) to cause contraction.
Do dendrites transmit infromation away from the cell body towards other neurons or to the muscles and glands?
For a long time it was thought that dendrites only RECEIVE information. But it is true that they actually release chemical transmitters and can thus transmit information to another neuron, muscle, or gland.
Is it true that motor neurons receive nerve impulses from the central nervous system causing muscle fibers to contract?
It would be more accurate to say that the neurons transmit the impulses, rather than that they receive them.
What nervous system controls the skeletal muscle contractions?
The central nervous system supplies the body and muscle contraction. Striated muscle (skeletal muscle) contract voluntary with exception of the heart which is striated involuntary smooth muscle.
Which muscle cells can not regenerate?
Cardiac muscle cells do not have the ability to regenerate.
Is hypoglossal nerve an efferent nerve?
Yes, efferent refers to the fact that the nerve carries information from your central nervous system out to a muscle. In this case, the muscle being innervated in the tongue.
What is made of nervous tissues?
nerve cells make nervous tissue and muscle tissue is made up of muscle cells
Is brain mass muscle?
Brain is made of nervous tissue, not muscle.
