What detects changes in the environment or detects STIMULI?
|
NERVOUS SYSTEM
|
|
|
3 Things the Nervous System does are:
|
1. sensory input (light,touch,etc.)
2. integration (process by which decisions are made according to the input) 3. motor output (response) |
|
|
Sitting in class and bell rings is an example of what?
|
sensory input
|
|
|
the brain puts the sound into thought ...decision to get up is made is an example of?
|
integration
|
|
|
legs are activated to help pick you up to leave is the?
|
response (motor output)
|
|
|
Where is the Central Nervous System?
|
CNS = brain and spinal cord in the dorsal body cavity
|
|
|
What is primarily the Integrative portion of the nervous system?
|
the CNS (CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM)
|
|
|
PNS =
|
Peripheral Nervous System
|
|
|
What does the PNS mainly consist of?
|
Nerves that extend beyond the brain and spinal cord
|
|
|
What is sensory division?
|
they are nerve fibers that BRING impulses to the CNS from sensory receptors

What is sensory division?
|
they are nerve fibers that BRING impulses to the CNS from sensory receptors
|
|
|
An example of Afferent:
|
Sensory division (brings impulses!)
|
|
|
What are motor division?
|
they're nerve fibers that bring impulses from the CNS to MUSCLES and ORGANS where action takes place.
|
|
|
An example of Efferent:
|
Motor division
|
|
|
What are SOMATIC AFFERENT FIBERS?
|
they're body fibers consisting of skeletal muscle and joints.
|
|
|
What are organ fibers?
|
Visceral afferents are organ fibers.
|
|
|
(Voluntary nervous system) is aka:
|
the SOMATIC NERVOUS SYSTEM
|
|
|
What does the Somatic nervous system do?
|
it allows us to control muscles (voluntary)
|
|
|
(Involuntary nervous system) is aka:
|
the AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM
|
|
|
What does the Autonomic nervous system do?
|
it regulates MUSCLE contraction in smooth muscles tissue and glands
|
