What makes up the nervous system and how does it function in the human body"?
The nervous system is made up of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. It functions by transmitting electrical signals between the brain and the rest of the body to control movement, sensation, and other bodily functions.
What two systems make up the peripheral system?
The two systems that make up the peripheral nervous system are the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system.
What is the peripheral system?
THE PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM AKA (PNS) :consists of sensory and motor neurons that transmit information to and from the central nervous system.includes all neurons that are not part of the nervous system, including the peripheral nervous system can be classified further as being either part of the somatic nervous system or part of the autonomic nervous system.It makes up the somatic and the autonomic nervous system.
What describes the autonomic nervous system?
The nervous system (NS) can be divided into the central nervous system (CNS) which is the brain and spinal cord and the peripheral nervous system (PNS) which is the rest of the body. One of the general functions of the NS is Motor function. Motor function uses peripheral neurons so this particular function belongs to the PNS. Motor functions can be divided into two categories: (1) As motor functions of the Somatic Nervous System and (2) as motor functions of the Autonomic Nervous System. The Somatic nervous system is voluntary and controls skeletal muscle. The autonomic nervous system, or ANS, is that part of the peripheral nervous system that is involuntary. The ANS controls and regulates smooth muscle, cardiac muscle and glands. Most neuron axons in the ANS are unmyelinated and myelinated axons are rare. It's not possible to describe the ANS without also describing the SNS and mentioning at least one of the functions (Motor function)of the nervous system. You need to see how they all fit together.
What body system typically initiate homeostatic responses?
The nervous system and endocrine system typically initiate homeostatic responses in the body. The nervous system responds quickly to stimuli, while the endocrine system regulates processes through the release of hormones.
What is the differences between the nervous tissue and nervous system?
Nervous tissue is made up of different cells working together to perform a given function -- in this case, to carry messages from one part of the body to another. Different nervous tissues working together make up nervous system organs, such as nerves, the spinal cord, or the brain. These organs work together in the nervous system, a collection of organs performing a body function. So, in sum, the difference between nervous tissue and the nervous system is one of size and scope: nervous tissue makes up nervous organs, which make up the nervous system.

Is the Excretion is one function of the digestive system?
Yes it is true that excretion is one function of the digestive system. The nervous system is made up of the peripheral nervous system and central nervous system.
What is the function of the nurvous system?
the nervous system is made up of nerves
The somatic and autonomic nervous systems make up the?
The somatic and autonomic nervous systems make up the peripheral nervous system. The main function of this system is to connect the central nervous system to the limbs and organs in the body.
What makes up the nervous system and how does it function in the human body"?
The nervous system is made up of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. It functions by transmitting electrical signals between the brain and the rest of the body to control movement, sensation, and other bodily functions.
What tissue makes up the brain and spinal cord?
The spinal cord and the brain make up part of the nervous system called the central nervous system. The rest of the system is made up of the peripheral nervous system.
Why is the nervous system called that way if people could mistake that it's the organ system that makes you nervous?
The nervous system is named that way because it is made up of mostly nerves.
What makes up the central nervous system of the vertebrate?
brain and spinal cord :)
What makes up the automatic nervous system?
I think you mean the 'Autonomic' nervous system. It is responsible for regulating internal organs, among other things.
Which nervous system makes up part of the automatic nervous system?
The peripheral nervous system is made up of the sensory (afferent) and motor (efferent) divisions. The motor division is furthermore split into the somatic and autonomic nervous systems. Lastly, the autonomic nervous system is split into the sympathetic (fight or flight) and parasympathetic (rest and digest) nervous systems.
Where is myelin found and what is its function?
Myelin is found in the nervous system and is produced by cells called oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system and Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system. Its function is to insulate and protect neurons, as well as speed up the transmission of electrical impulses along nerve cells.
