Nerves serve an extremely important role in bodily functions. There are pairs of nerves in the nervous system; branching off of the spine, one of the pair extends to the right portion of the body, and the other extends to the left portion of the body. Nerves sense the changes in the outside enviornment, this is called a stimulus. The stimulus then is sent to the sensory nerves where is is carried by internurons to the brain. The brain then processes this information, and it sends it's response through the internurons to the nerves in your muscles. The information is sent from nerve to nerve in the form of a synapse, this is when information is carried from one nerve's dendrite to another's through a chemical 'bridge'. All in all, nerves react to a stimulus by sending information to the brain to be processed. Without the nervous system, muscles, and bones would not be able to move, nor would any organs be able to preform their desired functions.

Which system innervates skeletal muscles?
What nerves supply voluntary sketal muscles
What system does marrow belong?
The skeletal system itself is an organ system. Some schemes combine the skeletal system with the muscular system to make the musculoskeletal system.
What are controlled by somatic division of the PNS?
The afferent nerves of the somatic nervous system carry sensory signals from the skin, skeletal muscles, joints, ears, eyes, tongue, etc. to the central nervous system, while the efferent nerves of the somatic nervous system carry motor signals from the central nervous system to the skeletal muscles.
What system is the clavicle a part of?
The skeletal system.
What body system does marrow belong to?
In the Skeletal system
What is the major organs of the skeletal and muscular system?
Skeletal System - Skeleton and nerves
Where are most of the nerves located in the skeletal system?
Most of the nerves in the skeletal system are located in the periostium. the periostium is the connective tissue layer on the outside of a bone.
Is your upper arm a skeletal or muscle system?
It has organs belonging to the muscular system, the skeletal system, the cardiovascular system, the integumentary system and the nervous system in it. Muscles, bones, blood vessels, nerves and skin.
Voluntary movements are under the control of the?
The somatic nervous system controls the skeletal system and voluntary movement by stimulating muscle contraction. Parts of the somatic nervous system are spinal nerves, cranial nerves, association nerves.
What allows us to consciously move or skeletal muscles?
Somatic, or voluntary, nerves connect to skeletal muscles refers to the conscious control of skeletal muscles.
What are the common ailments of the skeletal system and the muscular system?
Skeletal : weakened bones (osteoporosis), joint problems (arthritis). Muscular : Tears and neurological disorders (nothing wrong with the muscles, just the nerves that control them).
The system consists of nerves that transmit impulses back and forth between the central nervous system the skeletal muscles and the skin?
The Peripheral Nervous System is made up of 12 pairs of cranial nerves which transmit signals from the joints, skeletal muscles and skin to the brain. The PNS is further subdivided into the Somatic Nervous System and the Viscera.
What three body systems require hand movement?
nervous, muscular, skeletal
The posterior rami of the spinal nerves serve what?
skeletal muscles
How is the skeletal system alike to the nervous system?
becuase the balls u have is connected to ur nerves so wen u hit them thts why they hurt.
What are the fibers that carry information from the skin joints and skeletal muscles to the nervous system?
Somatic nerves from the somatic nervous system
At what junction do nerves contact skeletal muscle fibers?
Motor neurons meet the muscle cells at neuromuscular junctions. Neurotransmitters are passed from the nerve across a synaptic cleft to the muscle to make it contract. Any damage to this nerve will mean that those cells will not contract (move).
