Major Organs And Divisions Of The Nervous System

Major Organs And Divisions Of The Nervous System Neurons, or nerve cell, are the main structural and functional units of the nervous system. every neuron consists of a body (soma) and a number of processes (neurites). the nerve cell body contains the cellular organelles and is where neural impulses (action potentials) are generated. the processes stem from the body, they connect neurons with. The nervous system has two main parts: central nervous system (cns): your brain and spinal cord make up your cns. your brain reads signals from your nerves to regulate how you think, move and feel. peripheral nervous system (pns): your pns is made up of a network of nerves. the nerves branch out from your spinal cord.

Nervous System Anatomy And Physiology Nurseslabs There are two ways to consider how the nervous system is divided functionally. first, the basic functions of the nervous system are sensation, integration, and response. secondly, control of the body can be somatic or autonomic—divisions that are largely defined by the structures that are involved in the response. The nervous system can be divided into two major regions: the central and peripheral nervous systems. the central nervous system (cns) is the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system (pns) is everything else (figure 12.2). the brain is contained within the cranial cavity of the skull, and the spinal cord is contained within the. There are two ways to consider how the nervous system is divided functionally. first, the basic functions of the nervous system are sensation, integration, and response. secondly, control of the body can be somatic or autonomic—divisions that are largely defined by the structures that are involved in the response. Anatomical division of the nervous system that includes the brain and spinal cord. integration. nervous system function that processes sensory perceptions and produce a response. peripheral nervous system (pns) anatomical division of the nervous system that extends from the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body. response.

The pns is further subdivided into the autonomic nervous system (ans) and the somatic nervous system. the autonomic system has involuntary control of internal organs, blood vessels, and smooth and cardiac muscles. the somatic system has voluntary control of our movements via skeletal muscle. The nervous system of vertebrates (including humans) is divided into the central nervous system (cns) and the peripheral nervous system (pns). [ 16 ] the cns is the major division, and consists of the brain and the spinal cord . [ 16 ].
