How are messages transmitted through the nervous system?
There are three systems that are involved; the central nervous system, peripheral nervous system, and the endocrine system. The Central Nervous System consists of the brain and spinal cord. The Peripheral Nervous System involves everything else. It is how the brain and the spinal cord connect to everything else. There are two parts to the PNS, the Autonomic Nervous System and the Somatic Nervous System. Autonomic Nervous System deals with all of the visceral muscles, like the heart, arteries, GI tract and glands. It's involved with the sympathetic nervous system, which is an activating system (think "fight or flight"). It is activated when aroused and when there is expenditure of energy; it prepares the body for action. The parasympathetic system of the PNS' autonomic nervous system is the opposite; it deactivates the body, restores its balance, conserves energy, and returns the body to its resting state. Somatic Nervous system of the PNS acts on muscles that are attached to bone. There are motor neurons and sensory neurons involved. The sensory neurons are afferent, meaning they affect and have an influence on the brain. They transmit somatosensory info from the peripheral sensory organs to the CNS. They are the input received; and example would be when you realize you're touching something very hot that is burning you. The motor neurons are efferent, meaning they are the output and they result in muscular activity. They bring informational commands concerning motor from the CNS to the muscles. They cause the muscles to take action, a response action to the example of moving your hand away when you are touching something that's burning you. The PNS transmits a variety of information to the CNS, which then organizes and evaluates that information, and then goes on to direct the PNS to perform specific behaviors or make bodily adjustments. Neurons are specialized for communication. They take in information, integrate it, and then pass the information on to other neurons.
The respiratory system depends on the nervous system to do what?
The nervous system activates the muscles of the respiratory system (ribcage muscles and diaphragm) to cause breathing, so as to bring in oxygen and discard carbon dioxide.
How does the circulatory system connect to the nervous system?
AnswerThe nervous system sends a signal to the heart to make it beat. I also helps control not just the beat, but also the blood pressure as well. The part of the brain that controls the heart beat is the medulla oblongatta in the brain stem.
Why sensory neurons are called as afferent neurons?
The reason why Sensory neurons are called as afferent neurons is:_ Afferent Neurons mean the neurons carries the nerve impulse toward the brain (CNS) or the spinal cord (PNS)._ Sensory which always begins from the outside spaces, or peripheral places outside from CNS or PNS, need to be carried to CNS or PNS to analyze.That's the reason why they called sensory neurons as afferent neurons which bring sensor toward the brain or spinal cord and it's exactly the way where sensory goes
Which body system is linked with stroke?
The nervous system, especially the brain is linked to strikes. A stroke on the heart is called a heart attack. The small arteries that bring blood to the brain (or heart) lose blood flow and the cells that it feeds die.
What works in the nervous system?
The brain, the spinal cord plus all the fibers of neurons that bring information in and out of the brain and cord.

What is the nervous system?
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.
The respiratory system depends on the nervous system to do what?
The nervous system activates the muscles of the respiratory system (ribcage muscles and diaphragm) to cause breathing, so as to bring in oxygen and discard carbon dioxide.
How many cells in a nervous system?
You could say there are 2, The Central Nervous System(CNS), & the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS).To be more inclusive, here is a list of human nervous systems:The Central Nervous System (CNS), the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS),the Somatic Nervous System (SNS), the Autonomic Nervous System, the Sympathetic Nervous System, and the Parasympathetic Nervous System.That would make a total of 6, although the Sympathetic and Parasympathetic are parts of the Autonomic Nervous system, which could mean a total of 4, and the Autonomic is itself a part of the Peripheral Nervous System, which would bring the total back to 2.The Central Nervous System is comprised of the brain and the spinal cord;the Peripheral Nervous System connects the CNS to other parts of the body, and is comprised of the Somatic Nervous System and the Autonomic Nervous System;the Somatic Nervous System includes all the nerves controlling the body's muscular system, and sensory nerves;the Autonomic Nervous System consists of motor neurons which control internal organs, and is comprised of two sub-systems, the Sympathetic Nervous System, and the Parasympathetic Nervous System;the Sympathetic Nervous System is involved in the fight-or-flight response, and the Parasympathetic Nervous System is involved in relaxation.
What two body systems bring nutrients into cell of a body?
The circulatory system and the skeletal system
What organs work in the nervous system?
the spinal cord works with the brain, and others
What is the part of the body made up of bundles of neurons that carry impulses from all parts of the body to the brain and from the brain to all parts of the body?
The nervous system carries impulses to and from the brain by way of neurons. The bundles are called nerves. Sensory nerves bring impulses into the spinal cord and brain and motor neuron carry impulses away from the brain and spinal cord to the muscles and glands.
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 is the difference between nuronse and hormones?
Hormones are produced/secreted from endocrine glands in the body, the endocrine glands in the body include; adrenal glands, thyroid glands, parathyroid glands, the pancreas, testis, ovaries, pineal gland and the pituitary gland situated under the hypothalamus. Hormones are chemical messages which bring about a broad series of long lasting changes. Neurons are an electro chemical message which reacts from a stimulus, they make up the nervous system. neurons are a much faster message then hormones (milli seconds) which does not persist, whilst hormones are a slower message that persists. Neurons can target individual cells whilst hormones can only target cells with the right receptor, whole organs or even systems.
What are dendrites?
Thin fibers that branch out from the cell body of a nerve.They bring info to cell body and receive nervous signals from other neurons through connections called synapses.See link below:.
