Cholesterol is needed by the nervous system to insulate neurons and prevent damage that would interfere with the normal function of the nervous system.
Calcium also plays an important role in the central nervous system, especially within the brain. Calcium ions are essential in converting electrical impulses into chemical signals in the brain. The presence of calcium ions in the synaptic vesicles triggers the neurotransmitters to be released into the synaptic cleft. The signal can then cross the cleft and fuse with the dendrite on the other side, effectively helping to pass the signal to wherever it needs to go in the brain.
What else can I help you with?
What organ system does the brain belong too?
The nervous system The central nervous system
Does the central nervous system consist of the somatic 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
What comprises the nervous system?
The Sympathetic Nervous System and the Parasympathetic Nervous System
Does a bivalve have a nervous system?
Yes, bivalves have a simple nervous system that includes ganglia, nerve cords, and sensory organs. Although their nervous system is less complex compared to other animals, it allows them to respond to external stimuli and carry out basic behaviors necessary for survival.
What parts of the central and peripheral nervous system have to be functioning for the senses of hearing and vision?
For the sense of hearing, the central nervous system (specifically the auditory cortex in the brain) and the peripheral nervous system (including the auditory nerve and cochlea in the ear) must be functioning. For vision, the central nervous system (particularly the visual cortex) and the peripheral nervous system (including the optic nerve and retina in the eye) are necessary for proper function.
The portion of the nervous system away from the central 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 cranial and spinal nerves form what nervous system?
the peripheral nervous system
What other systems are closely related to the nervous system?
The nervous system controls all other body systems, and so is connected with all of them. The Muscular system is connected because the nerves send messages to the muscles if somethings wrong or hurt.
The somatic nervous system is a component of what nervous system?
The somatic nervous system is a component of the peripheral nervous system. This system is responsible for voluntary movements and sensory information.
Is autonmic nervous system apart of the peripheral or central nervous system?
The autonomic nervous system is a division of the central nervous system.
What are two main jobs of the nervous system?
The nervous system takes in sensory information from the peripheral nervous system. This information is then directed to the central nervous system which then responds with a motor reaction that travels back to the peripheral nervous system.
What nervous system innervates cardiac and smooth muscles and glands?
They are controlled by the autonomous nervous system.== ==
