Neuron
The neuron
The nervous system controls the body through nerve impulses. The endocrine system controls the body through hormones.
The process by which neural impulses are transmitted through the nervous system is best described as electric impulses. Any damage to a nerve in the system will cause a breakdown in communication between nerve ending and the brain.
nervous system
The endocrine and nervous systems allow your body to regulate body functions. The endocrine system does so through hormones, and the nervous system through nervous impulses.
Electrical impulses of the brain are the nervous impulses that the nervous system uses to control body functions. These impulses may be relayed within the brain, or may be carried to the peripheral nervous system.
Nerve pathways
nerve pathways
The peripheral nervous system carries impulses between the spinal cord and other body parts.
The peripheral nervous system carries impulses from the central nervous system to the effectors.
autonomic nervous system
The nervous system controls muscles and glands by electrical impulses.
