Signals are sent along the nerves of your body to your brain, where they are interpreted. The brain may send signals back instructing muscles to contract or expand, causing one's arm or other appendage to move.

Does everyone have a nervous system?

No, not all living organisms have a nervous system. Invertebrates like sponges, jellyfish, and corals lack a nervous system, while all vertebrates, including humans, have a nervous system.


What deos the outer nervous system consist of?

The outer nervous system consists of the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system. The somatic nervous system controls voluntary movements and receives sensory information. The autonomic nervous system regulates involuntary functions like heart rate, digestion, and breathing.


What are the two types of peripheral nervous system?

The two types of peripheral nervous system are the somatic nervous system, which controls voluntary movements, and the autonomic nervous system, which regulates involuntary bodily functions like heart rate and digestion.


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 are the 3 subsystem of the Nervous System?

The 3 subsystems of the Nervous System are the Central Nervous System (CNS), which includes the brain and spinal cord, the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS), which includes nerves outside the CNS, and the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS), which regulates involuntary functions like heart rate and digestion.

it sends messages to the brain for the nervous system it is like the information highway of the nervous system


What human body's communctions system is called the?

I'm not really sure what you mean by the question... however, I think the "nervous system" is what you are looking for. This system is the closest thing that I can think of to a communications system in the human body.


The relationship between central nervous system and pns?

The central nervous system is like the command center, while the peripheral nervous system is like the communication center between the organs of the body and the CNS and visa versa.

What are the two main systems that belong to the pns?

PNS means peripheral nervous system. It has two main components: the autonomic nervous system and the somatic, or voluntary nervous system. The autonomic nervous system also contains two parts: the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system.

Characteristic which defines the peripheral nerves system?

The easiest way to define the peripheral nervous system is to first define the central nevous system. the central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord. the peripheral nervous system is everything else. The peripheral nervous system (or PNS) is divided into the autonomic (involuntary like smooth muscle peristalsis in the gut) and somatic (voluntary, like flexing your arm to show off your muscles) nervous systems. The autonomic nervous system is again further subdivided into the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest) and the sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight).

What comprises the nervous system?
