If damage occured in the nervous system, you may not be able to feel anything and you could be actually hurting yourself without knowing it. Damage to the hear muscles could cause cardiac arrest, or the complete stop of the heart, and you could die both ways.

What nervous system controls the skeletal muscle contractions?
The central nervous system supplies the body and muscle contraction. Striated muscle (skeletal muscle) contract voluntary with exception of the heart which is striated involuntary smooth muscle.
The portion of the nervous system that most closely associated with the contraction of cardiac muscle is The?
The portion of the nervous system that is most closely associated with the contraction of the cardiac muscle is the autonomic nervous system.
What is the division of the peripheral nervous system that communicates with smooth muscle?
Autonomic Nervous System
The branch of the nervous system that receives sensory information and controls muscle movements is the?
somatic nervous system which is a part of peripheral nervous system.
What body system activates muscle and glands?
Nervous system.
What are the two subdivisions of the motor subdivision of the peripheral nervous system?
The two subdivisions of the motor subdivision are the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system. The somatic nervous system transmits action potentials from the CNS to skeletal muscle, and the autonomic nervous system transmits action potentials from the CNS to smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands.
Is the nervous system divided into three major parts?
The nervous system is divided into two parts: I. Central Nervous System a. Brain b. Spinal Cord II. Peripheral Nervous System a. Somatic Nervous System (voluntary muscle movements) b. Autonomic Nervous System (involuntary muscle movements) 1. Sympathetic Nervous System (flight or fight) 2. Parasympathetic Nervous System (rest and digest)
The structure that brings about response in the nervous system?
The effector such as a muscle or gland brings about response in the nervous system.
The portion of the nervous system that is most closely associated with the contraction of the cardiac muscle is the?
autonomic nervous system
What is one of the most common causes of damage to the nervous system?
Physical injury is one of the most common causes of damage to the nervous system.
What can go wrong with the nervous system?
You could get brain damage if something affects your nervous system.
