1. What are some of the differences between the Central Nervous System (CNS) and Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)? Discuss the activities the nervous system is responsible for.
In my research about the differences of the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system is that the central nervous system, also known as CNS, controls the entire body. The central nervous system deals with the brain and spinal cord. It also controls everything we need to survive on a daily basis. The central nervous system consists of our heart rates, our body temperatures, and breathing, just to name a few and all of these core things that we need to survive and are involuntary. We do not think of having to breathe or make our heart beat. The peripheral nervous system, also known as PNS, is what is consisted of everything outside of the brain and spinal cord. The …show more content…
Glands in the endocrine system is what produces all of the hormones in our body to keep our body in homeostasis. There are nine glands in our body. The thyroid gland produces T3 and T4 hormone that helps to regulate our metabolism. The parathyroid glands produce PTH in which our muscles need to operate in a healthy way. We also have a pineal gland, pituitary gland, adrenal glands that sit on top of our kidneys and produce adrenaline, the “fight or flight” hormone. We also have melatonin for sleep-wake cycle. Thanks to serotonin, we have PMS. Estrogen, estradiol, testosterone, cortisol to thank for storing fat in our abdomen when we are under stress. The glucagon, and insulin to control our sugar. Pregnant women will make oxytocin that is critical during pregnancy. Thank goodness I already had Anatomy and Physiology III because that class brought back my knowledge of the endocrine system, our glands and
