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.
