What else can I help you with?
All nerves and neurons that are not contained in the brain and spinal cord but that run through the body itself are in the system?
The nerves and neurons that run through the body outside the brain and spinal cord make up the peripheral nervous system. This system transmits signals between the central nervous system and the rest of the body, allowing for sensory input and motor output. The peripheral nervous system includes sensory and motor neurons that control voluntary and involuntary bodily functions.
What are the specialized cells that make up nervous tissue?
The brain, spinal cord, neurons and basically anything that can send message from your brain to the rest of your body like your nerves. The nervous system has two subdivisions--the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. The Peripheral Nervous system (PNS) is what the Central Nervous System (CNS) sends signals to move the body or control hormones etc...
What cells are responsible for the myelination of neurons in the cns?
In the central nervous system (CNS), oligodendrocytes are responsible for myelinating neurons. These specialized cells form the myelin sheath around axons, which helps in the transmission of nerve signals.
What organ are involved in the nervous system?
The main organs involved in the nervous system are the brain and the spinal cord, which make up the central nervous system. The peripheral nervous system includes nerves that connect the central nervous system to the rest of the body's organs and tissues.
What two parts make up the central nervous system?
The central nervous system is made up of two main parts: the brain and the spinal cord.
Are Efferent neurons are the most abundant type of neuron?
Efferent neurons are not the most abundant type of neuron, as interneurons make up the majority of neurons in the central nervous system. Efferent neurons, also known as motor neurons, transmit signals from the central nervous system to muscles and glands to elicit a response.
The brain and the spinal cord together make up what is known as the?
The brain and spinal cord are the two components of the Central Nervous System, and the CNS is composed of mostly neurons, with oligodendrocytes to provide myelin sheaths, microglia as immune cells, and astrocytes for general support. Other cell types (ependymal cells, radial glia) also exist in isolated locations.
What are Neurons that conduct impulses to the cardiac muscles?
Motor neurons are the neurons that conduct impulses from the central nervous system to cardiac muscle, smooth muscle, and glandular epithelial tissue. These types of nerves are what make up the Autonomic nervous system, which regulates the bodies involuntary functions.
What do motor neurones do?
Motor neurons are a part of the nervous system that make muscles move.
What types of neurons make up the peripheral nervous system?
Sensory and Motor neurons
What parts of your body make up the central nervous system?
The brain and the spinal cord are the 2 things that make up the central nervous system. The central nervous system is part of the nervous system as a whole.
What kind of neurons serve as links between the sensory neurons and the motor neurons?
Interneurons are the neurons that make up the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord). They internally communicate between the input from sensory neurons and our physical reaction triggered by the motor neurons.
The Brain and the Spinal cord make up the?
CNS - central nervous system
What is a nerve system?
The nervous system is a network of specialized cells that communicate information about an animal's surroundings and itself. It processes this information and causes reactions in other parts of the body. It is composed of neurons and other specialized cells called glia, that aid in the function of the neurons. The nervous system is divided broadly into two categories: the peripheral nervous system and the central nervous system. Neurons generate and conduct impulses between and within the two systems. The peripheral nervous system is composed of sensory neurons and the neurons that connect them to the nerve cord, spinal cord and brain, which make up the central nervous system. In response to stimuli, sensory neurons generate and propagate signals to the central nervous system which then processes and conducts signals back to the muscles and glands. The neurons of the nervous systems of animals are interconnected in complex arrangements and use electrochemical signals and neurotransmitters to transmit impulses from one neuron to the next. The interaction of the different neurons form neural circuits that regulate an organism's perception of the world and what is going on with its body, thus regulating its behavior. Nervous systems are found in many multicellular animals but differ greatly in complexity between species.
Where is the brain and spinal cord located?
central nervous system
What percentage of the nervous system is made up of neurons?
Neurons make up only about 10% of the cells in the nervous system but they play a crucial role in transmitting and processing information. Glial cells, which provide support and protection to neurons, make up the majority of cells in the nervous system.
What do the brain and the spinal cord together make up?
The brain and the spinal cord make up what is called the central nervous system.
