    The nervous system is made up of tissues, cells and organs which regulate the body’s responses to stimuli. The nervous system consists of the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. It also consists of brain, spinal chord, facial nerves, body nerves, sensory neurone and motor neurones, somatic and autonomic nervous systems, parasympathetic and sympathetic. Central nervous system- The CNS is made up of the brain and spinal chord. Peripheral nervous system- The PNS is made up

    The nervous system has three general functions: a sensory function, an interpretative function and a motor function. Sensory nerves gather information from inside the body and the outside environment. The nerves then carry the information to central nervous system (CNS). Nervous tissue consists of two main types of cells: neurons and neuroglia. Neurons also so known as nerve cells ") transmit nerve impulses that move information around the body. Central Nervous System and Peripheral Nervous System

It is an important factor in science because it can lead to new discoveries for cures or diseases. The studies of the nervous system helped lower death rates from heart disease, stroke, accidents, etc. The nervous system is a network of neurons (nerve cells) that that sends information to the brain to be analyzed. Neurons live both in and outside the central nervous

    The nervous system is made up of 2 main parts - the spinal cord and the brain. These two parts combine to make the central nervous system and the sensory and motor nerves which form the peripheral nervous system. Neurons process information in the form of electrical signals, namely nerve impulses, which travel along the axon. Charged ions are not able to enter plasma membranes which make neurons have a difference in ion concentration between the inside and the outside of a neuron. This prevents

    Nervous System The human body is one of the most complex structures known to mankind. To this day, we still do not have all the answers to how our body functions. One of the most complex structures in the human body is the nervous system, which controls the voluntary and involuntary actions, as well as send signals throughout the body. The nervous system is split up into two parts; the peripheral (PNS) and central (CNS) nervous systems. The central nervous system consists of two main parts; the

    The nervous system consists of the brain, spinal cord, and a complex network of neurons. This system is responsible for sending, receiving, and interpreting information from all parts of the body. The nervous system monitors and coordinates internal organ function and responds to changes in the external environment. This system can be divided into two parts: the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. Let 's take a look at the central nervous system. Central Nervous System The

    In the nervous system there are two main parts that it can be broken down into. The central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS). The CNS controls the brain and spinal cord. The PNS’s main job is to connect the CNS to the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body e.g. the organs so that they can communicate/ relay information to each other. How does this work? The nervous system is a complex network of cells called neurons. The average brain has around 100 billion neurons

    The nervous system is the part of the human body in charge of coordinating the reception of external stimuli and the response the body gives to them. It is equipped with sense organs called receptors, which are in charge of transforming the stimuli’s energy into nerve impulses [1]. To emit an external response, the nervous system uses effectors that can be either muscles or glands. We can divide the nervous system into two separate systems: the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous

    various types of organ systems, the nervous system is one of the most important one in human body. It is responsible for producing, controlling and guiding our thoughts and responses to the world around us according to James W. Pennebaker (2012). During embryological development, the cells that form nervous system are incredibly specialised and work complexly than the cells that form skin or other body parts. Neurosecretory cells are one of the examples of specialised nervous system cells that produce
