Yes, the nervous system requires input to function effectively. It relies on sensory information from the environment to perceive stimuli and respond appropriately. This input is crucial for processes such as reflex actions, decision-making, and coordination of bodily functions. Without input, the nervous system would be unable to process information or facilitate communication within the body.
What else can I help you with?
What controls arousal?
The parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system with minimal input from the central nervous system initiates erection.
Does the nervous system control all of the other systems?
Yes, your senses are your brain's interpretation of the input received through the nervous system.
What are the different types of the nervous systems?
Central Nervous System (brain and spinal cord)Autonomic Nervous System (nerves and ganglia)Peripheral Nervous System (outside the brain and spinal cord)
What are two parts of the peripheral nervous system?
The two parts of the peripheral nervous system are the somatic nervous system, responsible for voluntary movements and sensory input, and the autonomic nervous system, which regulates involuntary functions like heart rate and digestion.
How does the brain help the nervous system?
The brain is the most important and central organ of the entire nervous system. It receives sensory input (afferent feedback) from the rest of the nervous system, processes information, and produces efferent signals and responses to the rest of the nervous system. Analogous to a computer system, the brain would be the central processing unit.
What term is used to describe the signal received by the central nervous system from the peripheral nervous system?
The term used to describe the signal received by the central nervous system from the peripheral nervous system is "afferent signals" or "afferent input." These signals carry sensory information from the body to the brain and spinal cord, allowing the central nervous system to process and respond to various stimuli.
What are the two purposes of the input or sensory part of the nervous system?
collecting data and concerting it to nerve impulses.
What are the decision makers of the nervous system?
The neuron, by "deciding" wither or not to fire when a threshold of input stimuli come in to it.
What PNS system controls skeletal muscles?
The somatic nervous system controls skeletal muscles. It is responsible for voluntary movements and receives input from sensory neurons to help coordinate muscle contractions.
Which effector is not directly controlled by the autonomic nervous system?
Skeletal muscle is not directly controlled by the autonomic nervous system. Skeletal muscles are under voluntary control, with motor neurons from the somatic nervous system providing the neural input for their activation. Autonomic nervous system controls smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands.
What is the stimulus that triggers responses in the nervous system?
The stimulus that triggers responses in the nervous system is typically a sensory input, such as touch, sound, light, or chemicals, that is detected by sensory receptors in the body. This information is then transmitted to the brain and spinal cord, where it is processed and elicits a response from the nervous system.
Organ that is part of the nervous system?
Ok, you need to be more specific. Do you want to know about the central nervous system (cns) or peripheral nervous system (pns)? AND are you cheating on your homework?
