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.
