2 systems in our body that control homeostasis
endocrine and nervous systems and they communicate with each other though they function quite differently
neurons communicate with...
electrical impulses and they come quickly and end quickly
the endocrine system comunicates through
chemically via hormones and their effects are gradual
master cell of the nervous system
neuron
the only one function of the nervous system
maintain homeostasis
define periphery
everywhere in the body except the brain and spinal cord
3 groups of neurons and their locations
sensory-periphery

association-brain and spinal cord

motor-periphery
job of sensory neurons
monitor everything
job of association neurons
receive all info from sensory neurons, analyze it, then decide on an appropriate response
job of motor neurons
carry out the response decided on by the association neurons
what must the sensory and motor neurons always connect through
the association neurons so that there can be analysis
2 major divisions of the nervous system
CNS-central nervous system
and
PNS-peripheral nervous system
The CNS is made up of what
the brain and spinal cord

which is comprised exclusively of

association neurons
the peripheral nervous system runs what two groups of neurons
sensory-to brain
and
periphery-from brain
2 subgroups of the PNS
somatic nervous system
and
autonomic nervous system
somatic nervous system is for
voluntary
autonomic nervous system is for
involuntary
sensory neurons of the somatic nervous system originate where
in the skin
all sensory neurons of the skin belong to the
somatic nervous system
the motor neurons of the somatic nervous system
connect to the bones of the moving skeleton and is voluntary
autonomic nervous system has sensory neurons that come from
the major organs
autonomic nervous system has motor neurons that go to
the major organs
The motoir neurons in the autonomic nervous system are sent out via the
sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems
the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems will either
speed up or slow down an organ
the CNS is divided into the
brain and spinal cord
peripheral nervous system is divided into the
somatic and autonomic nervous system
The autonomic nervous system is divided into
sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems
sensory neurons of the somatic nervous system come in from
the skin
motor neurons of the somatic nervous system go out to the
skeletal muscles
where do sensory neurons of the autonomic nervous system originate
major organs
motor neurons of the autonomic nervous system go out to
major organs
two potential branches that motor neurons of the autonomic nervous system can travel out on
sympathetic and parasympathetic
sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems will have imposing effects on
organs...
one will always speed up the organ and one will always slow down an organ
