Study Notes
Sensory Input
- Sensory input provides information about the environment and internal state of the body to the nervous system
- It allows the body to respond to stimuli and maintain homeostasis
Central Nervous System
- Acts as the integrating and command center of the nervous system
- Consists of the brain and spinal cord
Peripheral Nervous System
- Main role is to connect the central nervous system to the rest of the body
- Senses the environment and transmits signals to the central nervous system
- Also transmits signals from the central nervous system to muscles and glands
Motor Output
- Purpose is to respond to stimuli and maintain homeostasis
- Involves the transmission of signals from the central nervous system to muscles and glands
- Allows the body to react to sensory input and make necessary adjustments
