What is made up of nerves that connect the brain and spinal cord to other parts of the body?
The Peripheral Nervouse System
What are the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord?
The peripheral nervous system contains all the nerves in the body that lie outside of the spinal cord and brain.They communicate with the central nervous system to make sure our body parts, such as our fingers, can send signals to the central nervous system for processing in our brains.
What organs are found in the nervous system?
Brain and spinal cord compose the central nervous system (CNS).All the nerves that innervate everything outside of your CNS is your peripheral nervous system (PNS).
What part of the control system including cranial nerves that connect the brain and spinal cord to other body parts?
which
What carries impulses through the spinal cord and brain to other organs?
Afferent nerves
What other part apart from the brain and spinal cord completes the nervous system?
The nerves.
Are spinal nerves purely sensory nerves?
Spinal Nerves Are Both Sensory and Motor. Spinal nerves are not one or the other.
What is the PNS made up of?
it is made up by nerves and associated cells that are not part of the brain and the spinal cord, included here are cranial nerves that pass through openings in the skull and stimulate regions of the head and neck, spinal nerves, and ganglia(ganglia are collections of nerve cell bodies).
compare the central and the peripheral nervous system?
The Central nervous system includes the brain and spinal cord.The brain is the control center for all activities in the body.It is made of billions of neurons. The spinal cord is made up of bundles of neurons.Sensory neurons send impulse to the brain.All the nerves outside CNS ( Central Nervous System) that connects the brain and spinal cord to other body parts are part of the Peripheral nervous system. The Peripheral nervous system includes 12 pairs of nerves from your brain called cranial nerves, and 31 pairs of nerves from your spinal cord called Spinal nerves.
What nerve is cranial and spinal?
The basic difference between the cranial nerves and the spinal nerves is the role they play, in helping our bodies to function properly. The body has what is called a peripheral nervous system consisting of more than 100 billion nerve cells, which run all throughout our body, making connections with our brain, as well as other parts of the body, and sometimes with each other. The peripheral nervous system is composed of two systems the somatic and autonomic nervous system. These nerves connect with both the brain and the spinal cord. Our muscles are controlled by voluntary and sensory receptors in the skin, this is an example of the somatic system. The autonomic system connects the brain stem and the spinal cord to the internal organs, and also regulates the body processes, like heart rate and blood pressure, stomach acid, and the speed of food travelling through our digestive systems. The autonomic nervous system is divided into sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions. Each has a job to do within the body. The sympathetic division helps us to deal with stressful or emergency situations. They help us to know, when to fight and when to take flight. The parasympathetic division helps the body to function, in normal situations. Both divisions regulate our pulse, breathing and blood pressure to keep them stable. The cranial nerves connect our brain to our eyes, ears, nose, throat and other parts of our head, neck and trunk. There are twelve (12) pairs of cranial nerves. The nerves, which connect the spinal cord to with other parts of the body are called spinal nerves. The brain communicates or connects with other parts of the body through the spinal nerves. We have thirty-one (31) pairs of spinal nerves. Spinal nerves and cranial nerves are connected with the somatic and the autonomic parts of the peripheral nervous system. Some nerves are sensory nerves and other nerves are motor nerves, depending upon their function within the body.
What does central nervous system includes?
The central nervous system has two organs, the brain and the spinal cord.
Spinal nerves are purely sensory and motor?
Spinal Nerves Are Both Sensory and Motor. Spinal nerves are not one or the other.
