Where is the enteric nervous system found?
The enteric nervous system is usually called the intestinal nervous branch of the nervous system. It regulates the digestive system.
What nervous system is responsible for the involuntary processes of the human body?
You are probably referring to "involuntary body functions" - and the answer would be the autonomic nervous system. This system could be further divided into the sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system.
What is the difference between nervous system and respiratory system?
The main difference is that the nervous system controls and coordinates different functions of body and is made up of nervous tissues while respiratory system includes lungs trachea nasal cavities and is concerned with breathing ,its main functional tissues are epithelial and muscular .
In orderly steps on how sound waves are trensmitted from the pinna to the cochlea?
the pinna is the outer part of the ear that funnels the sound coming from a mouth or alarm cloch per say to the ear canal where the sound is then sent to the eardrum.
What is a functional property of nervous tissue called?
A functional property of nervous tissue called irritability is the ability to respond to a stimulus and convert it into a nerve impulse.
The part of the brain that integrates the autonomic nervous system is what?
The hypothalamus integrates of the functioning of the autonomic nervous system, which in turn regulates the activity of organs such as the heart, blood vessels, and intestines.

Regeneration within the central nervous system?
a) is more sucessful than with the pns
b)typically allows axonal sprouting of 20mm
c) is prevented due to growth-inhibiting of oligodendrocytes
d) is promoted by growth inhibitors and glial scars
My answer is c . What do you think?
Are there synapses in peripheral nervous system?
There are synapses between each and every neuron in the entire nervous system; so yes, there are synapses in the peripheral section of the nervous system.
What is the major organ of a peripheral nervous system?
The brain, spinal cord, retina, sensory neurons, ganglia, and the nerves are the organs of the nervous system.
What neurotransmitters bind to?
There are two receptors that neurotransmitters interact with: ligand-gated receptors or ionotropic receptors and G protein-coupled receptors or metabotropic receptors depending on the neurotransmitter (the ligand). When the ligand binds with the neurotransmitter receptor it causes a sequence of chemical reactions to relay signals.

What are the two major subdivisions of the nervous system?
The two major anatomical subdivisions of the nervous system are the central nervous system, consisting of the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system, consisting of the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system. The autonomic division can be further divided into Sympathetic (fight or flight) and Parasympathetic (rest and digest)

What do you call a bundle of nerve processes outside the CNS?
These nerve pathways would generally be described as the peripheral nervous system.
Does the nervous system make you nervous?
Yes, the nervous system can cause you to feel nervous, because it can stimulate the glands of your endocrine system to release hormones that create your sense of nervousness.
However, this organ system's name shouldn't be confused with the word's meaning: the nervous system's main function isn't to make you nervous. The nervous system, composed of the CNS (the brain and the spinal cord made of interneurons) and the PNS (all the sensor and motor neurons throughout the body connecting the CNS to the rest of the human body), mainly controls your thoughts, actions, and metabolism.
What are the two major intrinsic nerve plexuses of the enteric nervous system?
myenteric plexus and submucous plexus
What is the difference between sensory nerve and motor nerves?
Sensory nerves carry impulses to the brain (as sights seen, sounds heard, etc.). Motor nerves carry impulses from the brain to cause the body to do things such as move muscles.
What is the only multicellular animal without a nervous system?
a sponge does not have a nervous system
The pupillary light reflex is control by what autonomic nervous system?
pupillary light reflex is controlled by parasympathetic branch of Autonomous nervous system
How did the Loop of Henle get its name?
It's named after its discoverer, the German anatomist Friedrich Gustave Jakob Henle
What do cranial nerves VII IX and X contain?
Cranial nerves VII, IX and X are called mixed nerves because they contain both motor and sensory nerves.
Low-intensity isometric contractions performed against little to no resistance.
