Secretin: produce in the small intestine and stimulates the production of bicarbonate by the pancreas

insulin: produce in the pancreas and regulates blood sugar levels

Glucagon: produced in the pancreas, and helps to release glucose from the liver

Division of the nervous system

A

The Central Nervous system is composed of the brain and the spinal cord. This is the central command center, where all communication and actions occur in the body.

The Peripheral Nervous System is composed of the nerves that branches are from the spinal cord and innervate the body. The system sends the signal by the brain to target the location.

Q

Structure of the neutron

A

Cell body: contains nucleus and organelles

Dendrites: short branch-link extensions that generate electrical impulse

Axon: long extensions that transmit signals to other neutrons
