What else can I help you with?
What part of the nervous system coordinates incoming information from the senses and sends instructions to the muscles and glands?
The central nervous system, which consists of the brain and spinal cord, coordinates incoming sensory information and sends instructions to muscles and glands. This information processing allows for both voluntary and involuntary responses to stimuli.
What system controls muscles and regulates body activity?
The nervous system controls muscles and glands by electrical impulses.
What are effectors of the nervous system?
The effectors of the nervous system are muscles and glands. They respond to nervous stimuli.
How are muscles and glands considered in regard to the nervous system?
They are effectors
Which part of the nervous system carries impulses to involuntary muscles and glands?
autonomicautonomic
What is the autonmic nervous system?
the part of the nervous system of vertebrates that controls involuntary actions of the smooth muscles and heart and glands
Are muscles and glands myelinated?
Muscles and glands are not myelinated. It is the axon of a neuron that is myelinated. The myelin forms a layer called myelin sheath that makes the nervous system function properly.
What are the two groups of nerves into which the pns is divided?
The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is divided into two groups of nerves: sensory nerves, which transmit information from the body to the central nervous system, and motor nerves, which transmit information from the central nervous system to the muscles and glands to produce a response.
What nervous system innervates cardiac and smooth muscles and glands?
They are controlled by the autonomous nervous system.== ==
What are the nerve cells that carry signals from the central nervous system to the muscles or glands?
Motor (efferent) division of PNS carries motor responses from the central nervous system to muscles, glands, and other organs.Response by the nervous system is accomplished by motor control.Neurons send impulses to the spinal chord and dendrites carry the message to the cell body the axons then sends them awayMotor neuronsefferent neurons
Which body system is responsible for responding to the environment?
The nervous system comprises the body's total response mechanism. It receives external information, sends that info to the brain for processing, and sends messages from the brain about appropriate response to the effector muscles and glands.
What afferent neurons convey information?
Afferent neurons carry sensory information in the form of nerve impulses to the central nervous system. Efferent/motor neurons carry commands to effectors such as muscles and glands.
