The basic signal in the nervous system is called an action potential. It is a rapid change in the surface charge of the cell membrane from a value around -70mV to 30 mV over several milliseconds controlled by the selective flow of sodium Na+, calcium Ca++ and potassium K+ ions (mostly).

What system controls the other organ systems?

The nervous system controls other organ systems through the coordination and regulation of body functions. It receives and sends signals to different parts of the body to maintain homeostasis and respond to internal and external stimuli.


Which body system is responsible for directing activities of the other systems?

The nervous system is responsible for directing and coordinating activities of the other systems in the body. It receives and processes information from the sensory organs, sends signals to muscles and glands, and controls voluntary and involuntary actions.


What system controls an animal's organ system-circulatory system-excretory system-and nervous system?

We can say all the systems controls each other but the whole body is controlled by Nervous system and Endocrine System. The Endocrine System by hormones controls the excretory system and controls the nervous system during emergency by releasing Adrenaline hormone. So all organ systems controls each other.


The peripheral nervous system is made up of the autonomic systems and what other system?

The peripheral nervous system is divided into the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous systems.


Which organ systems function as control systems communicating with other cells or organs to regulate their activities?

The nervous system and endocrine system function as control systems in the body. The nervous system uses electrical signals to communicate rapidly, while the endocrine system uses hormones to communicate more slowly but for longer durations. Both systems work together to regulate and coordinate the activities of other cells and organs in the body.
