In simple words, explain the significance of human nervous system in maintaining homeostasis.
The nervous system has definitely homeostatic relationships with other body systems. Cite at least 5 examples of this homeostatic relationship/s.
The autonomous nervous system regulates involuntary functions of the body and can be subdivided into the sympathetic and the parasympathetic nervous system. Both of these systems control the same group of body functions, but have opposite effects on the functions they regulate. The sympathetic nervous system prepares the body for intense physical activity like the fight-or-flight response. The parasympathetic nervous system has the opposite effect and relaxes the body and inhibits or slows many high energy functions. Which of the following involuntary effects in the body are brought about by the sympathetic nervous system during a fight-or- flight situation? i. Increased salivation ii. Increased digestion ii. Loss of bowel and bladder control iv. Body shivering Сrying Pupil dilation B. i, iv and v V. vi. A. i, ii and vi C. iii, iv and vi D. iii and v
The nervous system helps all parts of the body communicate with each other. It is made up of several sub-divisions with each subdivision havingstructural and functional characteristics that distinguish it from the others. Complete the diagram to show all the missing sections and explain their functions and where relevant their relationships to each other.

List which functions of an animal are controlled by voluntaryand by involuntary components of the nervous system.
b) Draw a simple summary diagram displaying the different levels of organisation of the nervous system. Include bullet points under each level to describe the function of that part. The bullet points should specifically include details of the role of that part of nervous system in homeostasis. no pics Question 2 (AC 2.1)
Visit this site (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/nervetissue3) to learn about how nervous tissue is composed of neurons and glial cells. Neurons are dynamic cells with the ability to make a vast number of connections, to respond incredibly quickly to stimuli, and to initiate movements on the basis of those stimuli. They are the focus of intense research because failures in physiology can lead to devastating illnesses. Why are neurons only found in animals? Based on what this article says about neuron function, why wouldn't they be helpful for plants or microorganisms?
