Actually, the brain is a part of the nervous system.The nervous system is made up of the Central Nervous System and the Peripheral Nervous System. The Brain and the Spinal Cord are the two components of the Central Nervous System, while everything else makes up the Peripheral Nervous System. The Peripheral Nervous System is further divided into the Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Divisions of the Autonomic Nervous System.Hope that helps!
brain.
it helps us balance
During periods of stress or increased activity, the sympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system predominates. And during periods of rest, the parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system predominates
cerebral cortex, hypothalamus, brainstem and basal nuclei
Nervous system sends messages to all parts of the system. It tells the heat to beat at this speed, thus regulating the flow.
It plays a major role in our nervous system.
it supports and protects the body
Blood sugar levels are not directly regulated by the autonomic nervous system (ANS), but the ANS does play a role in the overall regulation of blood sugar through its influence on hormones and metabolic processes. The sympathetic nervous system can stimulate the release of glucose from the liver, while the parasympathetic nervous system can promote insulin secretion from the pancreas. Thus, while the ANS is involved in blood sugar regulation, it does so indirectly through its effect on other endocrine functions.
Yes, both the central and peripheral nervous systems have a role in maintaining balance.
The sympathetic nervous system is antagonistic to the parasympathetic nervous system. It is responsible for the "fight or flight" response, increasing heart rate, dilating airways, and mobilizing energy stores, in contrast to the parasympathetic system's role in promoting relaxation and digestion.
The parasympathetic nervous system helps regulate heart rate by slowing it down. It works in opposition to the sympathetic nervous system, which speeds up heart rate.
