There are two parts to the nervous system: central and peripheral The central nervous system (CNS) is the brain and spinal cord. The peripheral nervous system (PNS) consists of an afferent component bringing information to the CNS and an efferent system carrying motor impulses to organs that move or secrete. CNS: where info gets processed finally and responses formulated and sent out Gets info from the afferent neuron. They approach the CNS. They carry info into the CNS. Info comes from the sensory receptors (special senses and from receptors that we aren’t really aware of Internal Invironment) Chemorecptors: sensitive to CO in the blood Baroreceptors: P receptors such as those in the arteries of the neck (sensitive to BP from that info BP gets raised or lowered) Osmoreceptors are sensitive to ion conc like salt. To increase or decrease drinking behavior Responses are formulated in the CNS and then sent out thru Efferent neurons ( exit) and go to the effector organs 4 choices of effector organs: Skeletal Muscle: under voluntary control Smooth Cardiac Glands Autonomic NS helps us maintiain homeostasis. Autonomic system is a motor system. No sensory component.
