Study Notes
Nervous System
- Regulates body activities by rapidly responding to stimuli
- One of the smallest yet
- Three Basic Functions:
- Sensory: Detects stimuli
- Internal: e.g., hunger
- External: e.g., touch, cold, etc.
- Integrative: Processes sensory input and analyzes
- Motor: Activates effectors
- Sensory: Detects stimuli
Parts of the Nervous System
- Central Nervous System (CNS): Processes sensory information (source of thoughts)
- Brain and Spinal Cord
- Peripheral Nervous System (PNS): All nerve tissue
- Cranial Nerves
- Spinal Nerves
