Explanation:
List the “organs” that comprise the nervous system.
Nerves , brain, spinal chord
What are the functions of the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system?
Central Nervous System (CNS) – controls most function of the body and mind, 2 main pieces brain and spinal cord, brain sends messages and spinal cord helps deliver messages as well as aids in movement , spinal cord bone also serves as protection
Peripheral nervous system – nervous system outside of brain and spinal cord, connects/ serves as communication from CNS to limbs and organs , not protected by bone , controls fight or flight
What are the overall functions of the brain, spinal cord, and sensory organs?
The brain controls motor functions, the body's ability to balance, interprets information.
The spinal cord connects a majority of the peripheral nervous system.
The sensory organs take in information to help the brain make decisions
How does the nervous system interact with the muscular and respiratory system?
Muscular System: The brain uses the nerves to tell the muscles when to move. The nerves also deliver information on what to do in a fight or flight case.
Respiratory System: The brain sends pulses through the nerves to the lungs which tell them to move to collect and release oxygen and carbon dioxide. The brain also monitors blood gas levels.
