Study Notes
Peripheral Nervous System
- The sensory (afferent) division of the peripheral nervous system is responsible for transmitting information from sensory receptors to the central nervous system (CNS).
Central Nervous System
- The CNS is the site of information integration and decision-making.
Motor Output
- The effector organs activated by the nervous system's motor output are muscles and glands.
Visceral Organs
- The visceral sensory (afferent) division of the peripheral nervous system conveys impulses from visceral organs to the CNS.
Sensory Receptors
- The nervous system uses its sensory receptors to monitor the internal and external environment, including stimuli such as light, sound, touch, temperature, and pain.
