Organization of the Nervous System
Source of thoughts, emotions, and memories
Central Nervous system ( CNS )
All nervous system structures outside of the CNS
Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)
Divisions of Peripheral Nervous system
Somatic (SNS), Autonomic (ANS), Enteric Nervous system (ENS)
Motor neurons to skeletal muscle: Voluntary
Somatic
Sympathetic:
Fight, fright, flight
Parasympathetic:
Rest and digest
Secrete hormones (involuntary)
Enteric nervous system
What is the Two cell types:
Neurons
Neuroglia cells
Can respond to stimuli and convert stimuli
Neurons
Critical for homeostasis
Neuroglia cells
Parts of neuron
