16
Q

enteric –> ANS

A

regulates to processes of digestion

17
Q

what does the interplay of the 3 parts of the ANS allow

A

nervous system to remain balance (homeostasis)

mental processing

regulation of other systems

control of muscles and glands

18
Q

functional components of nervous system

A

sensory

motor

19
Q

what does the sensory component do with info

A

collects it and then carries it/transmits it to CNS

20
Q

the sensory component is

A

afferent

21
Q

what happens when the info gets to the CNS from the sensory component

A

takes the info and decides what to do with it

whether or not to use it

what to do as a response

22
Q

what does the motor component do

A

delivers the results of the analysis of afferent info away from the CNS to muscles and glands

23
Q

motor component is

A

efferent

24
Q

afferent division of the PNS

A

transmits action potentials to the CNS

25
Q

efferent division of the PNS

A

carries action potentials away from CNS

26
Q

3 step process of nervous system

A

sensory

integrative

motor

27
Q

sensory process

A

NS senses certain changes (stimuli) both w/in your body and outside your body

28
Q

integrative process

A

analyzes sensory info, stores some aspects and makes decisions regarding appropriate behaviors

29
Q

motor process

A

NS may respond to stimuli by initiating muscular contractions or glandular secretions

initiates a response
