There are three systems that are involved; the central nervous system, peripheral nervous system, and the endocrine system.
The Central Nervous System consists of the brain and spinal cord.
The Peripheral Nervous System involves everything else. It is how the brain and the spinal cord connect to everything else. There are two parts to the PNS, the Autonomic Nervous System and the Somatic Nervous System.
Autonomic Nervous System deals with all of the visceral muscles, like the heart, arteries, GI tract and glands. It's involved with the sympathetic nervous system, which is an activating system (think "fight or flight"). It is activated when aroused and when there is expenditure of energy; it prepares the body for action. The parasympathetic system of the PNS' autonomic nervous system is the opposite; it deactivates the body, restores its balance, conserves energy, and returns the body to its resting state.
Somatic Nervous system of the PNS acts on muscles that are attached to bone. There are motor neurons and sensory neurons involved. The sensory neurons are afferent, meaning they affect and have an influence on the brain. They transmit somatosensory info from the peripheral sensory organs to the CNS. They are the input received; and example would be when you realize you're touching something very hot that is burning you. The motor neurons are efferent, meaning they are the output and they result in muscular activity. They bring informational commands concerning motor from the CNS to the muscles. They cause the muscles to take action, a response action to the example of moving your hand away when you are touching something that's burning you.
The PNS transmits a variety of information to the CNS, which then organizes and evaluates that information, and then goes on to direct the PNS to perform specific behaviors or make bodily adjustments.
Neurons are specialized for communication. They take in information, integrate it, and then pass the information on to other neurons.
What else can I help you with?
Which system sends messages to organs and tissues?
The nervous system sends messages to organs and tissues through electrical signals transmitted by neurons. This allows for communication and coordination within the body to maintain homeostasis and perform various functions.
What carry messages from your sense ograns to your brain?
The nervous system carries messages from your sense organs to your brain. These messages are transmitted through sensory neurons that send signals to the brain to be interpreted as different sensations such as sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell.
Which system sends and receives messages within the body?
There isn't any. You're thinking of the nervous system - but the messages are all chemical. The electrical activity is a side effect.
How do nerves transport messages?
nervous system
What tissue that carries messages througout your body?
Nervous system
How are messages transmitted from your spinal cord to your heart?
autonomic nervous system
Messages are transmitted from your spinal cord to muscles in your hands by the?
Peripheral nervous system:
Which body system receives environmental messages and sends them to the brain?
Both the nervous system and the endocrine system send messages to the brain
Which system sends messages to organs and tissues?
The nervous system sends messages to organs and tissues through electrical signals transmitted by neurons. This allows for communication and coordination within the body to maintain homeostasis and perform various functions.
What carry messages from your sense ograns to your brain?
The nervous system carries messages from your sense organs to your brain. These messages are transmitted through sensory neurons that send signals to the brain to be interpreted as different sensations such as sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell.
What system sends messages to the brain through network of nerves?
The afferent nerves or sensory nerves of the peripheral nervous system send messages to your brain.
What part of the nervous system brings messages to your brain through your spinal cord?
The sensory nervous system. This brings information into the cord and to the brain.
The process by which neural impulses are transmitted through the nervous system is best described as?
The process by which neural impulses are transmitted through the nervous system is best described as electric impulses. Any damage to a nerve in the system will cause a breakdown in communication between nerve ending and the brain.
When you are walking the brain sends messages to the skeletal muscles in the legs by way of?
All the brain's messages are sent through the nervous system.
How Nervous system carries message?
The nervous system carries messages through a network of nerve cells called neurons. When a stimulus is detected, electrical signals are generated in the neurons and travel along the nerve cells in the form of action potentials. These action potentials allow for communication between different parts of the body and are transmitted across synapses to relay messages between neurons.
Which system sends and receives messages within the body?
There isn't any. You're thinking of the nervous system - but the messages are all chemical. The electrical activity is a side effect.
How impulses are transmitted and generated?
the brain sends electrical shocks through our nervous system that tells our body how to move, and when to do it.
