What else can I help you with?
Is the adrenal cortex an extension of the sympathetic nervous system?
No, the adrenal cortex is not an extension of the sympathetic nervous system. The adrenal cortex is the outer region of the adrenal gland that produces hormones like cortisol and aldosterone. The sympathetic nervous system is a part of the autonomic nervous system that controls the body's fight or flight response.
Which type of cell produces the myelin covering around the axon of a neuron?
In the central nervous system, neuronal axons are myelinated by oligodendrocytes. In the peripheral nervous system axons are myelinated by Schwann cells.
What organ of the endocrine system also interacts with the nervous system?
the nervous system and the endocrine system are joined together by the HYPOTHALAMUS. The HYPOTHALAMUS is part of the central nervous system(CNS).I receives,sorts, and interprets signals from neurons. It is also part of the endocrine system and produces hormones. -JMAR14
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
The portion of the nervous system away from the central nervous system?
The peripheral nervous system is the portion of the nervous system away from the central nervous system. It consists of nerves that connect the central nervous system to the rest of the body, including sensory and motor neurons. The peripheral nervous system is responsible for transmitting information to and from the central nervous system.
What part of nervous system produces some behaviors on its own?
The autonomic nervous system produces behavior on its own.
What produces myelin in the central nervous system?
Oligodendrocytes produce myelin in the central nervous system.
What produces myelin in the peripheral nervous system?
In the peripheral nervous system, myelin is produced by Schwann cells.
Which part of the brain sends impulses to the nervous system in time of emergency?
The emergency, or "fight or flight" part of the nervous system is the sympathetic nervous system. The parasympathetic nervous system produces a "rest and digest" response.
What part of body produces endorphins?
The nervous system, especially the brain, produces endorphins.
How do humans get nervous?
People become nervous because their sympathetic nervous system produces too much adrenaline.
Classification of drug that depresses the central nervous system and usually produces sleep?
the classification of a drug that depresses the central nervous system and usually produces sleep is known as a hypnotic.
Is the adrenal cortex an extension of the sympathetic nervous system?
No, the adrenal cortex is not an extension of the sympathetic nervous system. The adrenal cortex is the outer region of the adrenal gland that produces hormones like cortisol and aldosterone. The sympathetic nervous system is a part of the autonomic nervous system that controls the body's fight or flight response.

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.
The classification of drug that depresses the central nervous system and usually produces sleep is known as?
hypnotic
Which type of cell produces the myelin covering around the axon of a neuron?
In the central nervous system, neuronal axons are myelinated by oligodendrocytes. In the peripheral nervous system axons are myelinated by Schwann cells.
