Zero None, life is imposible without a nervous system.
It is important to study the nervous system in psychology because certain behaviors and mental conditions stem from a known characteristic in the nervous system. Some people suffering from disorders such as Alzheimer's have related neural characteristics.
The easiest way to define the peripheral nervous system is to first define the central nevous system. the central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord. the peripheral nervous system is everything else. The peripheral nervous system (or PNS) is divided into the autonomic (involuntary like smooth muscle peristalsis in the gut) and somatic (voluntary, like flexing your arm to show off your muscles) nervous systems. The autonomic nervous system is again further subdivided into the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest) and the sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight).
The branch of the life sciences which deals with the structure and function of the nervous system is called neuroscience.
The nervous system is an essential part of life. Therefore you will not find a person or an animal without a central nervous system
Get a life? :D
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
The Sympathetic Nervous System and the Parasympathetic Nervous System
The peripheral nervous system is the portion of the nervous system away from the central nervous system. It consists of nerves that connect the central nervous system to the rest of the body, including sensory and motor neurons. The peripheral nervous system is responsible for transmitting information to and from the central nervous system.
the peripheral nervous system
The somatic nervous system is a component of the peripheral nervous system. This system is responsible for voluntary movements and sensory information.
