How do the nervous system and endocrine system differ in the types of body processes they control?
The nervous system responds to short term stress by releasing adrenaline and noradrenaline. The release of these hormones increase blood pressure, heart rate, and they divert blood to all the needed organs and muscles. The endocrine system helps us deal with short term stress by releasing a series of hormones to help bring the body to homeostasis.
What are the cells in the nervous system called?
Brain cell is a generic term for the neurons and glial cells. Neurons are nerve cells that process and transmit information through the nervous system. Glial cells provide support, protection, and nutrition to the neurons. Other cells in the brain include epithelial cells that make up the lining of the blood vessels.Source- Wikipedia
What is the difference between a brain and a cerebral ganglion?
The term cerebral ganglion is reserved for invertebrate, while the term brain gaglion is used in reference to those with vertebrae. The ganglion refers to a cluster of nerves cells located in the peripheral nervous system.
What term refer to the shape of a bacterium?

Does the efferent system sends information from the brain to spinal cord throughout the body?
You are correct; efferent neurons carry impulses from your brain to/and spinal cord throughout the body. Efferent nerves, otherwise known as motor or effector neurons, carry nerve impulses away from the central nervous system to effectors (such as muscles or glands and also the ciliated cells of the inner ear).The term 'efferent' can also be used in more localized locations (though still in the nervous system). For example, a neuron's efferent synapse provides input to another neuron, and not vice-versa. Vice-versa would be afferent. (see below)The opposite of efferent neurons are afferent, which are neurons that carry impulses from the body back to the brain. An easy mnemonic: Efferent connections Exit. Afferent connections Arrive.Hope this helps!

What is the Drug that depresses central nervous system and causes sleep?
In the literal sense, a narcotic. However, that term has come to be used more broadly to refer to all mood-altering substances without regard to accuracy.

The term central nervous system refers to the?
Your brain and spinal cord, for the most part.
Does Alcohol depresses the nervous system?
Yes. Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant. That's what alcohol poisoning is: the alcohol depresses the nervous system until the life-sustaining functions cease (usually breathing, then heart). Fun, huh?
What is pachymeningeal?
It's a medical term that basically means "thickened meninges". The meninges are the membranes surrounding the brain and central nervous system.
Can neuropathy cause seizures?
Neuropathy is an umbrella term for a host of diseases of the nervous system that have to do with the dysfunction of peripheral and cranial nerves. If it is used as a general term for dysfunctions of the central and peripheral nervous systems, then neuropathy does not cause seizures, but is descriptive of the dysfunction of the system that can result in seizures.
What is the difference between Multiple Sclerosis and Musculoskeletal?
Multiple Sclerosis is an autoimmune disorder, whereby the bodies defence system (anti-bodies) attack itself. In this case it attcks the central nervous system. Musculoskeletal is a general term used in anatomy and physiology to refer to the muscles and skelton as a group.
