The includes the brain and the spinal cord
Spinal reflexes are simple, automatic behaviors that are processed in the spinal cord
The nervous system comprises all the nerves outside the central nervous system
The two subdivisions of the peripheral nervous system are?
Somatic nervous system
Autonomic nervous system
Sympathetic nervous system
Parasympathetic nervous system
The nervous system communicates sensory information received by sensory receptors along sensory nerves to the central nervous system and carries messages from the central nervous system along motor nerves to perform voluntary muscle movements.
The nervous system regulates involuntary functions such as heartbeat, blood pressure, breathing, and digestion
The autonomic nervous system has two subdivisions : the sympathetic nervous system & the parasympathetic nervous system
The sympathetic parasympathetic( sympathetic, parasympathetic ) nervous system produces rapid physiological arousal in response to perceived threats or emergencies. These bodily changes collectively represent the fight-or-flight response—they physically prepare you to fight or flee from a perceived danger.
The parasympathetic sympathetic( parasympathetic, sympathetic ) nervous system conserves and maintains the body’s physical resources.
The system is made up of glands located throughout the body that secrete hormones into the bloodstream
are chemical messengers secreted into the bloodstream primarily by endocrine glands
The hypothalamus pituitary gland adrenal gland adrenal medulla( hypothalamus, pituitary gland, adrenal gland, adrenal medulla ) serves as the main link between the nervous system and endocrine system
The pituitary gland adrenal gland gonads( pituitary gland, adrenal gland, gonads ), a pea-sized gland just under the brain, controls hormone production in other endocrine glands.
A set of glands called the is involved in human stress response
