Study Notes

Nervous System Function

  • The nervous system is responsible for communication and control throughout the body.
  • Cells within the nervous system use electrical and chemical signals for communication.
  • These signals allow for rapid and specific responses within the body.
  • Sensory receptors gather information from the environment.
  • This information is transmitted to the brain and spinal cord through the sensory division of the peripheral nervous system.
  • The brain and spinal cord process the information and send signals to the body via the motor division of the peripheral nervous system.
  • This process involves sensory input, integration, and motor output.
