other nerve cells...
The brain is made up of nerve cells (also called neurons). There are neurons both in the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system. The communication between neurons occurs with release of neurotransmitters (chemicals that affect the surface of neurons). The release of neurotransmitters occurs when an electrical impulse travels down the neuron and causes the neuron to "fire" off neurotransmitter. This electrical impulse is called an "action potential." The release of neurotransmitter can have one of two possible effects on the "receiving" neuron, depending on which neurotransmitter binds with which neuron. It can make the receiving neuron either more likely to fire (excitatory) or less likely to fire (inhibitory). The result of this activity in billions of neurons creates quite a symphony, including everything we call thought.
nerves
spinal cord
The peripheral nervous system carries impulses from the central nervous system to the effectors.
The somatic nervous system transmits sensory messages to the central nervous system. The somatic nervous system is a sub group of the peripheral nervous system, it mainly controls voluntary muscles and sense organs.
Nervous system
Receptors
Brain and spinal cord compose the central nervous system (CNS).All the nerves that innervate everything outside of your CNS is your peripheral nervous system (PNS).
The peripheral nervous system carries impulses from the central nervous system to the effectors.
brain stem
It is the central nervous system
The somatic nervous system transmits sensory messages to the central nervous system. The somatic nervous system is a sub group of the peripheral nervous system, it mainly controls voluntary muscles and sense organs.
Neurons that convey sensory information are called 'sensory neurons' or "afferent neurones"
Nervous tissue.
motor neuron is a type of neuron that found at the muscles, tissues, and organs.
Nervous system
The central nervous system has two organs, the brain and the spinal cord.
Nervous system
The central nervous system.
The nervous system recives stimuly from the external environment through the sense organs and transmit their information through the central nervous system. The central nervous system analysis it and than sends signal to the stimulate responses by the specific organs.
