What else can I help you with?
Muscarinic receptors are found on?
Organs innervated by the parasympathetic nervous system. One addition to that are sweat glands. They are innervated by sympathetic nervous system, however, they have muscarinic receptors, NOT adrenergic receptors.
Does alcohol speed up the central nervous system?
Yes, alcohol can initially act as a central nervous system depressant, but it can also have stimulant effects, leading to an increase in activity in the central nervous system.
The brain belongs to what division of your nervous system?
The brain belongs to the central nervous system, which also includes the spinal cord. This division is responsible for processing and interpreting information received from the peripheral nervous system.
What is the function of the PNS?
The peripheral nervous system, or PNS, conveys nerve impulses from your receptors to the central nervous system, or CNS. They also will convey nerve impulses from the CNS to your effector organs, typically a muscle or gland.
What are the two different nervous system in the body?
The two anatomical divisions of the nervous system are the central nervous system and the Peripheral nervous system. The nervous system can also be divided into the somatic and autonomic nervous systems.
Are motor neurons the same as afferent?
No, motor neurons and afferent neurons are not the same. Motor neurons, also known as efferent neurons, transmit signals away from the central nervous system to muscles and glands, facilitating movement and actions. In contrast, afferent neurons, or sensory neurons, carry sensory information from the body to the central nervous system for processing. Thus, they serve different roles in the nervous system.
Can Lupus affect the nervous system?
Lupus can also effect the central nervous system, causing seizures, depression, and psychosis
What are the 2 divisions of the peripheral nervous system?
The sensory division of the peripheral nervous system transmits impulses from sense organs to the central nervous system. The motor division transmits impulses from the central nervous system to the muscles or glands.
What does the peripheral system do?
Peripheral System is a division of the Nervous System. They have 2 types of cells. The sensory nervous cells carry information to the central nervous system; and the motor nervous cells carry information from the central nervous system. The Peripheral System is also divided into the somatic nervous system (controls the voluntary muscles) and the automatic nervous system (controls involuntary muscles).
What the peripheral system do?
Peripheral System is a division of the Nervous System. They have 2 types of cells. The sensory nervous cells carry information to the central nervous system; and the motor nervous cells carry information from the central nervous system. The Peripheral System is also divided into the somatic nervous system (controls the voluntary muscles) and the automatic nervous system (controls involuntary muscles).
The brain and the spinal cord together make up what is known as the?
The brain and spinal cord are the two components of the Central Nervous System, and the CNS is composed of mostly neurons, with oligodendrocytes to provide myelin sheaths, microglia as immune cells, and astrocytes for general support. Other cell types (ependymal cells, radial glia) also exist in isolated locations.
Links the outer nervous system with the central nervous system is?
The brain stem is connected to the spinal cord, which is the central nerve bundle (nerve trunk) that branches out into the various areas of the outer nervous system. In addition to the central nervous system is also the peripheral nervous system, which controls autonomic functions meant to maintain vital functions of the body. The peripheral nervous system is divided into the sympathetic nervous system (exciting, alerting, fight-or-flight) and parasympathetic nervous system (relaxing).
