What else can I help you with?
Small groups of nerves outside the brain and spinal cord?
Peripheral nerves.
What are the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord?
The peripheral nervous system contains all the nerves in the body that lie outside of the spinal cord and brain.They communicate with the central nervous system to make sure our body parts, such as our fingers, can send signals to the central nervous system for processing in our brains.
What part of your body lets our brain know activities inside and outside your body?
The nervous system is responsible for transmitting signals to the brain about activities inside and outside the body. This system includes the brain, spinal cord, and a network of nerves that communicate information through electrical and chemical signals.
What are the major body parts of nervous system?
The major parts of the nervous system include the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. The brain controls thoughts, memory, and emotion. The spinal cord is responsible for transmitting signals between the brain and the rest of the body. Nerves carry messages to and from the brain and spinal cord.
What are Bundle of nerves that leads to the brain?
The bundle of nerves that connects the brain to the rest of the body is the spinal cord.
How many nerves in the human brain?
The human brain does not have nerves. Nerves are part of the peripheral nervous system, which includes nerves outside the brain and spinal cord. The brain itself is made up of neurons, glial cells, and other supporting structures.
What composed the central nervous system?
The central nervous system is composed of the brain, brain stem, and spinal cord. Efferent nerves travel from the brain, through the spinal cord, to the rest of the body. Afferent nerves travel from the body, back up the spinal cord, and back to the brain.
Where in the body are peripheral nerves found?
Peripheral nerves are found throughout the body outside of the brain and spinal cord. They extend from the central nervous system to various parts of the body, such as the limbs, organs, and muscles, to transmit signals between these areas and the brain.
List the structures of the CNS and PNS?
Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)Contains all nerves outside of the brain & spinal cord.Somatic Nervous System (Voluntary)Two types: Sensory (or afferent) and motor (or efferent) nerves
compare the central and the peripheral nervous system?
The Central nervous system includes the brain and spinal cord.The brain is the control center for all activities in the body.It is made of billions of neurons. The spinal cord is made up of bundles of neurons.Sensory neurons send impulse to the brain.All the nerves outside CNS ( Central Nervous System) that connects the brain and spinal cord to other body parts are part of the Peripheral nervous system. The Peripheral nervous system includes 12 pairs of nerves from your brain called cranial nerves, and 31 pairs of nerves from your spinal cord called Spinal nerves.
What is the PNS made up of?
it is made up by nerves and associated cells that are not part of the brain and the spinal cord, included here are cranial nerves that pass through openings in the skull and stimulate regions of the head and neck, spinal nerves, and ganglia(ganglia are collections of nerve cell bodies).
What nerves carry impulses to the brain and spinal cord?
remember the word SAMESensory are AfferentMotor are Efferent
