Aging produces various structural and functional changes in the nervous system, including: reduction in brain size and weight, reduction in number of neurons, decrease in blood flow to brain, changes in synaptic organization of the brain, and intercellular and extracellular changes in CNS neurons.
The nervous system is the communication and control system of the human body. It consists of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves that transmit signals throughout the body to coordinate various functions and responses.
The nervous system controls the heartbeat by sending electrical signals through the heart's specialized cells. Pupil size is regulated by the autonomic nervous system, with the sympathetic system dilating the pupils and the parasympathetic system constricting them. Overall, the nervous system plays a crucial role in regulating various bodily functions, including heart rate and pupil size, to maintain homeostasis.
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.
Yes, age can affect reflexes. As we age, our reflexes tend to slow down due to changes in our nervous system and muscle strength. However, regular physical activity and exercise can help maintain and improve reflexes as we get older.
The nervous system and the endocrine system work together to coordinate and control all other body systems. The nervous system uses electrical signals to communicate quickly, while the endocrine system uses hormones to communicate more slowly but with longer-lasting effects. Together, these two systems help regulate functions such as metabolism, growth, and response to stress.
the nervous system reacts
your nervous system tells your brain that it hurts and you fell pain.
The head injury and age are two things that weaken the nervous system. Hard and manual jobs also weaken the nervous system.
Your memories dear
The nervous system receives information and by the sensory nerves it transports to the brain what you learnt.
You will either be paralysed or dead!
it stimulates the gastrointestinal activity
The nervous system controls and coordinates all body functions by sending and receiving electrical signals through neurons. It is divided into the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system (nerves outside the brain and spinal cord). The nervous system allows for sensory perception, voluntary movement, and involuntary processes like heart rate and digestion.
The nervous system The central nervous system
No. Nervous System is comprised of the Central Nervous System (CNS) and the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) The PNS is comprised of the Somatic Nervous System and the Autonomic Nervous System The Autonomic Nervous System is comprised of the Sympathetic Nervous System, the Parasympathetic Nervous System and the Enteric Nervous System
It can cause problems in the nervous system and the Cardiovascular system.
