The Dance therapy, especially Mudra therapy is involved in holding the hasta mudras to give the therapeutic effect. When we hold a particular hasta mudra the nerves get stimulated and it is passed to the brain via the spinal cord through the peripheral nervous system. To comprehend the stimulations, while holding the Hasta Mudras; and the process of carrying the impulses to the brain and back, we need to study the nervous system of the brain and its functions. The nervous system comprises the central nervous system, consisting of the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system, consisting of the cranial, spinal, and peripheral nerves, together with their motor and sensory endings.
4.6.1 Central nervous system The central nervous system is composed of millions of nerve and glial cells, together with blood vessels and a little connective tissue. The nerve cells or neurons in the blood play a very major role in the transmission and reception of signals. The glial cells, termed neuroglia, are characterized by short processes that have special relationships to neurons, blood vessels, and connective tissue . These cells play a very major role in receiving and transmitting of the signals on stimulating while holding the corresponding hasta mudras.

Both the Cerebral and Cerebellar cortex are symmetrical and divided into right and left hemispheres. The superficial layer of the hemisphere has the gray matter and is a few millimeters in thickness; whereas the interior hemisphere is made partly of white matter with nuclei of gray matter in the Cerebellar cortex. The Gray matter has the bodies of nerve and glial cells in contrast to the white matter which consists of the processes or fibres of nerve and glial cells. The brain also has cavities in the interior portions known as ventricles. These ventricles are full of cerebrospinal
* White matter is one of the two components of the central nervous system, and it consists of glial cells and myelinated axons that transmit signals from one region of the cerebrum to another as well as in between the cerebrum and lower brain centers. Grey matter contains neural cell bodies. Unlike white matter, it is mostly made up of myelinated axon tracts. Tracts are bundles of fibers that connect to different parts of the CNS. Roots receive information sent by neurons. Spinal nerves refer to a mixture of spinal nerves, which carry
All portions of the nervous system outside the brain and spinal cord; it includes sensory and motor nerves
The nervous system is split up into two main organizations, the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system.
The anatomy of the nervous system is called neuroanatomy. Which consist of two areas having special construction and abilities. This is basic formation of the nervous system which controls the way we think and act as a source of inside instructions on direction to our surroundings as human beings. The primary nervous system is developed from a basic hollow stem and that stem grows in size and disburses into other areas which would be your head with backbone and the nerves with sensors throughout the body. The head is made up of two cerebral hemispheres protected by a hard shell which is surrounded with a fluid that keeps your blood stream separated from it. The head and backbone is the
The nervous system is in charge of planning the greater part of the body's exercises. It controls the upkeep of ordinary capacities as well as the body's capacity to adapt to crisis circumstances. The nervous system incorporates both the Central nervous system and Peripheral nervous system. The Central nervous system is comprised of the brain and spinal cord and The Peripheral nervous system is comprised of the Somatic and the Autonomic nervous
The CNS contains the brain and spinal cord. Its main functions include: processing, integrating, and coordinating sensory information and motor instructions. The sensory data conducts information that is being processed from internal and external conditions the body is experiencing. Motor commands regulate and control peripheral organs (skeletal muscles). The brain functions under memory, emotions, learning, and intelligence. The PNS consist of the neural tissue found outside of the CNS. It functions in sending data to the CNS which motor commands are than carried out to the peripheral tissues/systems. Multiple nerve fibers send sensory data and motor commands in the PNS. The nerves that assist with transmitting data include the cranial nerves and spinal nerve. However, the PNS can be divided into afferent (to bring in) and efferent (to bring out) divisions of transferring data. The afferent division functions in bringing in sensory data to the CNS. Sensory structures are receptors that detect internal/external environmental change and adjusting accordingly. The efferent division functions in carrying out motor commands from the CNS to glands, muscles, and adipose tissue. The efferent division contains somatic
The nervous system (NS)consists of the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous (PNS.) It is a complex network of nerves and cells that carry messages to and from the brain and spinal cord to various parts of the body. The NS integrate all physical, emotional, and intellectual activities. These two structures
There are two main divisions that comprise the nervous system: the central nervous system consisting of the brain and the spinal cord and the peripheral nervous system consisting of somatic and autonomic nervous systems (Kalat, 2013). The brain and the spinal cord make up the central nervous system and is responsible for the transmission of nervous impulses as well as receiving sensory information (Siegal, 1999). The peripheral nervous system, consisting of cranial nerves, spinal nerves, and peripheral ganglia, is responsible for transmitting information to the central nervous system as well as the rest of the body (Hubbard, 2013).
Spinal cord is connected with nerves as gates are connected with wires in the computer. Nerves carry signals to coordinate different parts of bodies. Central nervous system consist of brain and spinal cord it includes cranial nerves( it works in such a way that they connect your sense organ to your brain) and central nerves (it works in such a way that it connects areas within spinal cord and brain)
The nervous system is a complex, sophisticated system that regulates and coordinates body activities. It is made up of two major divisions: the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system (all other neural elements). The brain sends out signals through electrical signals—called impulses—that control the muscles of the body. Unfortunately, nerve and muscle problems cause the muscles to react in abnormal ways.
The human nervous system is divided into two parts, the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. The central nervous system, CNS, is just the brain and spinal cord. The peripheral nervous system, PNS, includes the nerves and neurons that extend outwards from CNS, to transmit information to your limbs and organs for example. Communication between your cells is extremely important, neurons are the messengers that relay information to and from your brain.
As medical school students, what are a few things that come to mind when thinking about the nervous system? The Brain? The spinal cord? Indeed, but The nervous system is a highly complex with a great deal of functions that helps us take-in and respond to the world around us. Its basic functions are involved in receiving information about the environment around us but it is understood in sensation, response and integration. It is reason for our necessary physiological functions and the very essential for certain things such as eating and breathing. So when we think of the brain and spinal cord it is because those are the two things that make the first part; the central nervous system. The second part is the peripheral nervous system which is
The nervous system is made up of basic units called neurons. The main role of the neurons is to receive, integrate and transmit information throughout the body. There are some neuroglial cells found in nervous system aswell which provide support to the neurons by giving protection and nourishment Neurons have nerve processes that looks like finger like projections extended from the nerve cell body. They also contain axons and dendrites which enable them to transmit signals throughout the body. Normally, axon carry signals away from the cell body and dendrites carry signals toward the cell body according to Regina Bailey (2013). Neurons have three different shapes: bipolar, unipolar and multipolar where bipolar has two neuronal processes coming out of the cell body, unipolar has only one neuronal process coming out of the cell body and multipolar has many neuronal processes coming out of the cell body.
There are two ways to classify the nervous system: structural and functional classifications. Structural classification includes all the organs of the nervous system. There are two groups that forms nervous system: central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS). CNS covers the brain and spinal cord of the human body. It unites and gives orders to the nervous system. It translates incoming sensory information and gives directions based on past experiences and the current environment. PNS covers parts of the nervous system outside the CNS. It includes the cranial and spinal nerves which extends from the brain and spinal cord of the human body. Spinal nerves transports impulses to and from the spinal cord; yet, cranial nerves
The nervous system is made up of two sections, the Central Nervous System, which is composed of the brain, cerebellum, and the spinal cord. Whereas, the Peripheral Nervous System contains nerves that allows your body to move, also known as sensory and motor nerves.
