Study Notes
Functions of the Nervous System
- The Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) transmits information between the Central Nervous System (CNS) and the rest of the body.
Autonomic Nervous System
- The Sympathetic division prepares the body for strenuous physical activity.
- The Parasympathetic division has a calming effect, promoting relaxation and reducing stress.
Motor Division (Efferent Division) of the PNS
- The Motor division transmits action potentials to muscles and glands, controlling their functions.
Central Nervous System
- The Hypothalamus, a part of the CNS, controls homeostasis, regulating body temperature, hunger, and thirst.
- The CNS, specifically the Motor division, is responsible for controlling muscles and glands.
Sensory Division (Afferent Division) of the PNS
- The Sensory division conducts action potentials from sensory receptors to the CNS, transmitting information from the environment.
