Role of the Brain, Nervous System, & Sensory Systems
In humans, the nervous system is the area in which the body processes and sends messages. It is a complicated system that gathers sensory information from the entire body, replies to changes in the body, evaluates request information, begins and implements all bodily activity, and preserves “homeostasis” in the body. An organism nervous system is separated into two systems: the “central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS).” The brain and the spinal cord is a part of the CNS. The PNS is made of into the “somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system,” these two areas are separated into the “sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system.” …show more content…
This is commonly measured by tests such are the “intelligence quotient (IQ) test,” even though this can be erroneous at entirely assessing an individual’s “cognitive abilities.” Infancy and childhood are the stages in which some individuals are capable of absorbing and using newly learned information, with many children gain knowledge of new vocabulary, thoughts, and ways to communicate themselves in shaping their behavior. The ability for a person to comprehend deteriorates little by little, as they age, the complete cognitive function should not diminish on a bigger scale in people with good health, and however, it is possible Gazzaniga et al., …show more content…
As mentioned, the CNS contains the brain and spinal cord (Proekt et al., 2008). The PNS the nerve fiber center, which have “bundles of the long fibers or axons,” that fuses the brain and spinal cord to the entire body. Nerve fibers that communicate signals from the brain are the “motor or efferent nerves.” The nerve fibers that convey information from the body via the CNS are “sensory or afferent.” For the most part, the nerves that work with both functions are the “mixed nerves.” The PNS is formed by the “somatic and autonomic nervous system, and the enteric nervous system.” Somatic nerves are associated with involuntary bodily movement. The autonomic nervous system is sectioned into the “sympathetic and the parasympathetic nervous systems.” The sympathetic region is stimulated in situations such as crisis to mobilize energy. The parasympathetic section is triggered when a person is in a calm state of being. The enteric region seeks to regulate the “gastrointestinal system.” The autonomic and enteric nervous systems are “involuntarily.” Nerves that exit from the cranium are called cranial nerves while those exiting from the spinal cord are called spinal nerves (Matic,
