Where are the certain parts of the nervous system of a frog?

In frogs, the nervous system is divided into the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The CNS consists of the brain, located in the head, and the spinal cord, which runs along the back. The PNS includes cranial and spinal nerves that extend throughout the body, connecting the CNS to various organs and muscles. Key structures like the optic lobes, cerebellum, and medulla oblongata are located in the brain, coordinating sensory information and motor functions.


What are the parts of the nervous system and its function?

The function of the nervous system is to enable us to feel our surroundings. The five senses (sight, touch, hearing, taste and smell) have different sensory neurones in various parts of the body. The most sensitive parts of the body are the fingertips and lips, which have far more sensory neurones per square centimetre than other parts of the body. The nerve impulse travels from the sensory neurone, across a synapse (the gap between the end of one neurone and the dendrites (fingers) of the next) and reaches the next neurone. The signal reaches the coordinator (either the brain or spinal cord) and is then sent to a certain part of the body via a motor neurone, which eventually reaches the muscle and causes a movement. The nervous system is effected by stimulants and depressants, such as alcohol and drugs, which change the speed of reaction times.
