The nervous system is made up of the brain, the spinal cord, and all of the nerves in your body. Your nervous system detects and responds to changes inside and outside your body. First the nervous system receives information about the environment or other parts of the body. Then it interprets the information. Finally, it responds to information.

What is the difference between a human nerve cell and plant guard cell?
Human nerve cells allows information from the brain to be carried to other parts of the body BUT plant guard cells allows the amount of oxygen to enter the stomata.
What is an example of cerebroside?
A lipid compound containing glucose found in the brain and other nerve tissue.
What kind of tissue sends messages from the brain to the rest of the body?
Nerves transmits messages back and forth from the brain to the other parts of the body.
Which cells in your body are never replaced?
Cells
How does the brain send and receive messages from our body?
The brain receive messages from the other parts of the body through nerve impulses.
What part of the brain relays impulses between the brain and other body parts?
nerve
What characteristics does an abnormal evoked potential study have?
Changes in the electrical tracings may indicate damage to or degeneration of nerve pathways to the brain from the eyes, ears, or limbs. Absence of any activity may mean complete loss of nerve function in that pathway. Other.
What is the definition of serotonin?
Serotonin-- A natural chemical found in the brain and other parts of the body, that carries signals between nerve cells.
What is dysfunction of the nervous system?
The nerve damage interferes with the messages sent between the brain and other organs and areas of the autonomic nervous system, such as the heart, blood vessels and sweat glands.
What is the nerve that carries messages from the brain to the other parts of your body?
the spinal cord
What does the human brain and other nerve tissues use as fuel?
Carbohydrates and oxygen.
Does the left optic nerve carry eye messages only to the left brain side?
No it does not. The left optic nerve carries messages to the right side of the brain. The signals cross over to the other side at the base of the brain.
Why are there no pain receptors in the brain?
There are pain receptors in the brain. In fact if the brain didn't get and give the message to you that you were in pain it wouldn't register. The reason why we feel pain is to alert us that something is wrong and needs to be tended to. A nociceptor is a sensory receptor that responds to potentially damaging stimuli by sending nerve signals to the spinal cord and brain. This causes the perception of pain. There are also proteins in your brain called NMDA receptors which allow your neurons to communicate with each other. The neurons talk to each other which in turn reaches the NMDA receptors. The NMDA listens to the neurons and if sufficiently excited ions are expelled from a channel of receptors. Calcium ions then flow through the channel into the listening neuron at the synapse (pathway between the neurons) causing the pathway to be strengthened and giving you a loud signal (hot stove = pain!).
What is the difference between a human nerve cell and plant guard cell?
Human nerve cells allows information from the brain to be carried to other parts of the body BUT plant guard cells allows the amount of oxygen to enter the stomata.
How does loss of nerve cells impact on the development of dimentia?
brain cells needs to communicate with each other by sending the message between cells in the form of electrical signals so if the nerve cell dies message wont reach the other cell causing dementia.
The tissue that carries messages from the brain and spinal cord to other parts of the body is?
nerve
What is the difference between nerve and neurology?
A nerve is one or more bundles of fibers forming part of a system that conveys impulses of sensation, motion, etc., between the brain or spinal cord and other parts of the body. Neurology is the science of the nerves and the nervous system, especially of the diseases affecting them.
