What is the role of the central nervous system?
What is the role of the central nervous system?
The central nervous system (CNS) is responsible for processing information received from the body and sending instructions back to the body.
What are the two types of nerve fibers in the peripheral nervous system?
What are the two types of nerve fibers in the peripheral nervous system?
Afferent fibers transmit sensory information from the body to the CNS, while efferent fibers carry motor commands from the CNS to muscles and glands.
What does the autonomic nervous system control?
What does the autonomic nervous system control?
The autonomic nervous system controls involuntary actions like heart rate, digestion, and breathing.
