Presentation 3rd week Flashcards
nervous system
it is the body’s main control system, it recieves input from amount of resources to control physical movements, keep in balance, controllin mental stuff
Nervous system is made up
nerve cells, neurons, they generate electric impulses, action potentials to communicate with each other with chemical substances (neurotransmitters) or electric impulses
homoestasis
biological balance, maintain order works closely with endocrine system
nervous system is working
automatically but sometimes conciounsness is needed
central nervous system
brain and spinal cord
Periphral nervous system
sensory (input) carries all senses to brain and motor (output) gets information from the brain carries to entire body
somatic division in motor output
control of skeletal muscle
autonomic division in motor output its automatic
control of smooth muscle cardiac muscle (heart) glands (hormons) and has two parts sympthatic or parasympthatic
dendrites
responsible for communacation
axons
carry electrical impulses to cell body to other neurons
myelin sheat
sometimes communication needs to be faster not all neurons have myelin sheat, it heals itself. Energy speed heals
Neuron types
sensory neuron, motor neuron, interneuron
sensory neuron
they carry information, such as light to the central nervous system periphrel
motor neurons
carry information from central nervous system to all organs and tissues muscles glands periphral
interneurons
connecter or associasion neurons they carry information within the central nervous system between the components of central nervous system
