What is the basic unit of structure and functions of the nervous system?

The nerve cells. They coordinate the actions of the body.


What are all the systems that nerve agents can affect?

Nerve agents affect the transmission of nerve impulses in your nervous system. Nerve agents can affect the central nervous system, the respiratory system as well as cholinergic nervous system.


What structure is responsible for myelination of the nerve fibers?

In the peripheral nervous system the cell that myelinates an axon is called a Schwann cell. In the central nervous system myelination is carried out by oligodendrocytes.


A bundle of nerve fibers?

The bundle of the nerve fibers is a collection of the threadlike extension of the nerve cell that consists of the myelin sheath and axon in the nervous system. There are nerve fibers in the peripheral nervous system and the central nervous system.

What are groups of nerve cells that control the nervous system?

Groups of nerve cells that control the nervous system are called nuclei in the central nervous system and ganglia in the peripheral nervous system. These clusters of nerve cells work together to regulate various functions such as movement, sensation, and organ functions.


Does the peripheral nervous system have sensory nerve cells and motor nerve cells.?

Yes, the peripheral nervous system has both sensory and motor nerve cells


What are nerve cells?

The Peripheral Nervous system (PNS) includes all the neural tissue outside the Central Nervous system (CNS). The PNS delivers sensory information to the CNS and carries motor commands to peripheral tissues and systems. Bundles of axons, or nerve fibers, carry the sensory information and motor commands in the PNS. Such bundles, with associated blood vessels and connective tissue, are called peripheral nerves, or simply nerves.A whitish cord-like structure composed of one or more bundles (fascicles) of myelinated or unmyelinated nerve fibers, or more often mixtures of both, coursing outside the central nervous system, together with connective tissue within the fascicle and around the neurolemma of individual nerve fibers (endoneurium), around each fascicle (perineurium), and around the entire nerve and its nourishing blood vessels (epineurium), by which stimuli are transmitted from the central nervous system to a part of the body or the reverse. Nerve branches are given in the definition of the major nerve; many are also listed and defined under branch.


Is nerve an example of an organ system?

No, a nerve is one part of an organ system--the nervous system.


The peripherral nervous system has sensory nerve cells and motor nerve cells?

Yes, the peripheral nervous system consists of sensory nerve cells that transmit sensory information from the body to the central nervous system, and motor nerve cells that transmit signals from the central nervous system to the muscles and glands to elicit a response.
