The somatic nervous system carries signals to?
The somatic nervous system is associated with the control of body movements. It carries signals to the brain to tell the body how to move.
How does each work?
The brain tells the nervous system to move which signals time for your bones to move.
How does each muscle work?
The brain tells the nervous system to move which signals time for your bones to move.
In what way does the nervous system connect to the skeletomuscular?
The nervous system sends signals to make muscles move....Apexxx
What is the function of the nerve cord in an earthworm?
The nerve cord in an earthworm performs the same task as the nervous system of any animal. The function of the nervous system is to bring sensory information to the brain, where it is processed. Then, the brain sends signals to the body via the nervous system and those signals cause the animal to move.
What sensory neurons to motor neurons?
Sensory neurons (afferent neurons) send sensory signals from the body to the Central Nervous System. Their cell bodies are always found in a ganglion outside the central nervous system. Motor neurons (efferent neurons) send signals from the central nervous system to the muscles and glands of the body. Their cell bodies are always located in the central nervous system.
What system controls how your muscles move your bones?
Your nervous system controls how your muscles move your bones. Nerves carry electrical signals from your brain and spinal cord to your muscles. Without nerves you would never move a muscle.
How does the nervous system and the circulatory system work with the muscular system?
The nervous system sends signals to make muscles move....Apexxx
Why is the nervous system said to be the body's control system?
Because it is through the nerves that the brain tells the muscles to move.
How are your movement controlled by the nervous system?
by sending weak electrical pulses through our system. that is also one of the reasons our spine is important, because the electrical pulses are sent through it and it they stop thats when we stop being able to fully use the lower half of our body
Describe the role of the myelin sheath?
Myelin sheath is the insulation of the CNS (central nervous system). Its helps electrical signals move along nerves. Basically, its synonymous with insulated wire. Again the insulation help the signal move in a smooth and controlled fashion through out the body.
What is the importance of the nervous system in humans?
It makes you move because the brain triggers nerves to your nervous system and it makes you move.
