What else can I help you with?
What moves across axons in the nervous system?
Electrical impulses move across axons in the nervous system.
How does the endocrine system differ from the nervous system in terms of communication and regulation within the body?
The endocrine system uses hormones to communicate and regulate bodily functions slowly over time, while the nervous system uses electrical signals to communicate quickly for immediate responses.
The system is made up of cells called neurons?
Neurons are specialized cells in the nervous system that transmit information through electrical and chemical signals. They are the core units responsible for processing and transmitting information in the brain and nervous system. Neurons have a unique structure that enables them to communicate with each other and other cells in the body.
What creates electrical currents in neurons and how do they contribute to the functioning of the nervous system?
Electrical currents in neurons are created by the movement of charged particles, called ions, across the cell membrane. This movement is facilitated by specialized proteins called ion channels. These electrical currents play a crucial role in transmitting signals within the nervous system by allowing neurons to communicate with each other. This communication is essential for processes such as sensory perception, motor control, and cognitive functions.
The component of the human nervous system that brings sensory information to the brain and transmits commands from it is called the?
Partly the Cranial nerve and partly the spinal chord. also known as the peripheral nervous system
What moves across axons in the nervous system?
Electrical impulses move across axons in the nervous system.
Neurons that carry messages within the nervous system?
Neurons are specialized cells that transmit electrical and chemical signals throughout the nervous system to communicate messages. They communicate through the release of neurotransmitters at synapses, enabling the transmission of information across the brain and body.
What is a Central Nervous System?
The nervous system helps all the parts of the body to communicate with each other. The brain and spinal cord make up the central nervous system. The other nerves of the body are called the peripheral nervous system. Problems of the nervous system include epilepsy, meningitis, multiple sclerosis (MS) and Parkinson's disease.
The basic cell that makes up the nervous system and which receives and sends messages within that system is called a?
neuron. Neurons are specialized cells that process and transmit information through electrical and chemical signals in the nervous system. They have a unique structure that allows them to efficiently communicate with other neurons, facilitating the functioning of the nervous system.
What is the third part of the nervous system called?
Autonomic nervous system
Where is the enteric nervous system found?
The enteric nervous system is usually called the intestinal nervous branch of the nervous system. It regulates the digestive system.
Is the communication in the nervous system carried out by the neurons?
Yes, it's the nerve cells, also known as neurons, that communicate and do everything else that the nervous system does.
What is a simle nervous system?
A nerve net or diffused nervous system is called simple nervous system as present in cnidarians .
What body system is used to communicate a message from your brain that would tell your legs to run?
The nervous system.
How does the endocrine system differ from the nervous system in terms of communication and regulation within the body?
The endocrine system uses hormones to communicate and regulate bodily functions slowly over time, while the nervous system uses electrical signals to communicate quickly for immediate responses.
What are the brain and nervous system collectively called?
Those parts of the body are simply called the central nervous system.
The system is made up of cells called neurons?
