The function of the nervous system is to enable us to feel our surroundings. The five senses (sight, touch, hearing, taste and smell) have different sensory neurones in various parts of the body. The most sensitive parts of the body are the fingertips and lips, which have far more sensory neurones per square centimetre than other parts of the body. The nerve impulse travels from the sensory neurone, across a synapse (the gap between the end of one neurone and the dendrites (fingers) of the next) and reaches the next neurone. The signal reaches the coordinator (either the brain or spinal cord) and is then sent to a certain part of the body via a motor neurone, which eventually reaches the muscle and causes a movement. The nervous system is effected by stimulants and depressants, such as alcohol and drugs, which change the speed of reaction times. Parts_and_function_of_nervous_system

∙ 10y agoThe nervous system starts at the brain which processes all of the signals in the body. The spinal cord relays impulses to and from the brain. Then there are the neurons that extend to each part of the body. Each of these is responsible for sensing something and transmitting the ensuing messages to the brain.

What are three main functions of the nervous system give an example of each?
hi
What are the two parts of nervous system identify each part?
central nervous system (brain an spinal cord) peripheral nervous system (anything else)
What the nervous system is?
The nervous system consists of the brain which brings throughout your body Theirs two parts of the nervous system, the cetral nervous system, and the peripheral nervous system. The central nervous system contains the brain, spinal cord, and retina. The peripheral nervous system consists of sensory neurons, clusters of neurons called ganglia, and nerves connecting them to each other and to the central nervous system.
What is a Central Nervous System?
The nervous system helps all the parts of the body to communicate with each other. The brain and spinal cord make up the central nervous system. The other nerves of the body are called the peripheral nervous system. Problems of the nervous system include epilepsy, meningitis, multiple sclerosis (MS) and Parkinson's disease.
How do the nervous and respiratory system relate to each other?
Nervous system controls respiratory system .
What controls the endocrine system?
Endocrine system and nervous system work along with each other and they control each other.
Functions of each layer in C7 signaling system?
functions of each layer in C7 signaling system
What is a bilateral system?
A bilateral system is where both parts of a system are equally important for the proper function of the system. The two parties are directly affected by the system functions which makes them dependent to each other.
What are the four body regulation mechanism?
There are four main body regulators everyone should know. The central nervous system, Periopheral nervous system, autonomous nerves system and the spinal cord. Each of these systems play an important role in making sure the human body functions properly.
What are the functions of each?
my answer is:muscular and skeletal or brain or heart that it function in each system that can move and realize that causes or in organ or parts of the human body will happen in the organism
Are there synapses in peripheral nervous system?
There are synapses between each and every neuron in the entire nervous system; so yes, there are synapses in the peripheral section of the nervous system.
What is a part of the nervous system not under voluntary control?
each and every part of body is controlled by the nervous system.
