What is the purpose of central nervous system stimulants?
Central nervous system stimulants are used to keep patients who suffer from narcolepsy from falling asleep. Narcolepsy is a disorder that causes people to fall asleep during daytime hours.
What is a cerebrospinal fluid analysis used for?
The purpose of a CSF analysis is to diagnose medical disorders that affect the central nervous system.
What is the purpose of myelin sheath?
This is a process that occurs in the CNS and PNS with axons. In the CNS oligodendrocytes surround the axons and in PNS schwann cells surround the axons. the myelin sheath will increase the speed of nervous conduction along the axon.
What is the name for bundles of myelinated axons in the PNS?
The name for bundles of myelinated axons in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) is "nerves." Nerves serve the purpose of transmitting sensory information and motor impulses between different parts of the body and the central nervous system.
What is the purpose of salt in the body?
- sodium is important for the nervous central system (transduction of signals) - sodium is important for the regulation of blood pressure, pH, osmotic pressure and volume - also useful for the function of neurons
What is the white lipid material that insulates the axon of a neuron?
The white lipid material that insulates the axon of a neuron is called myelin. In the central nervous system, myelin is created by oligodendrocytes while in the peripheral nervous system the myelin is created by Schwann cells. The purpose of myelin is to speed up action potentials. It's important to know that the myelin does not coat the axon entirely; each sheath of myelin is separated by a gap, called a node of Ranvier. These gaps are responsible for the quick transport of action potentials, due to the fact that the potentials can "jump" from node to node rather than having to travel down the entire length of the axon (this is called saltatory conduction).
What is the purpuse of the nervous system?
The main purpose of the nervous system is to let our body know when we are in danger by sending messages to the brain.
What is the purpose of the central library?
to get info
What is the general purpose ot the sensory nervous system?
To get information from the environment.
What is the main purpose of the nervous systems?
The nervous system consists of the brain, spinal cord, sensory organs, and all of the nerves that connect these organs with the rest of the body. It's main purpose is to gather, store, and respond to information and stimuli.
What is the purpose of the central processor is to convert data into?
jjj
Why do you need a spinal cord?
The spinal cord is a long tube-like organ that stems from the brain and down the spine. Companied with the brain it is a major part of the central nervous system. It's major purpose is to transmit messages between the brain and the rest of the body.
