What else can I help you with?
Which of these parts of the nervous system extends down the back?
The spinal cord is the part of the nervous system that extends down the back. It is a long, thin, tubular bundle of nervous tissue and serves as the main pathway for transmitting messages between the brain and the rest of the body.
What is the part of the central nervous system part that extends from the brain and down the middle of the back?
The spinal cord.
Which category of substances slows down your central nervous system?
Depressants are a category of substances that slow down the central nervous system.
How are the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system related?
The two work together. The central nervous system is comprised of the brain and the spinal cord; the peripheral nervous system is comprised of all the nerves and ganglia outside the brain and spinal cord.The peripheral nervous system sends sensory information to the central nervous system, which assesses that information, and then sends motor control signals back down the peripheral nervous system to cause the body to act in relation to the information or events sensed.
What other system is in place to protect the nervous system?
The nervous system is divided into two major parts called the central nervous system (CNS), which is made up of the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The peripheral nervous system is broken down into the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system. Scientists further divide the autonomic nervous system into the sympathetic and the parasympathetic nervous system.
How is vertebrates different from other animals?

What is nervous system of the human body?
The human nervous system is a complex network of nerves and cells that transmit signals between different parts of the body. It includes the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system (nerves outside the brain and spinal cord). This system controls most of our body functions, including movement, sensation, and thought processes.
What effects does tobacco have on the nervous system?
Calms you down
What slows down the central nervous system?
Heroin
Why does fever affect the nervous system?
a fever affects the nervous system because it has a direct effect on the brain which is what controls the nervous system. The hotter it gets the more noticable the nervous system changes will be. IE If you are a child and you have a 104 fever you might be tired/sleepy, miserable, body cramps etc but once you get that fever down a few degrees the nervous system functions closer to normal allowing them to get back up and run around. If you are an adult and you get a fever of 104 your unable to get up and function (typically) even if you get the fever down a few degrees.
