FollowMe iQuiz Q True or False Motor neurons conduct impulses towards the central nervous system Brain and spinal cord Cell bodies of neurons Few axons Little myelin Faster Shorterlived Electrical in nature. A. Bacterial Infections of the Nervous System. 1. Bacterial Meningitis. A) Although bacteria can infect the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves, they more commonly infect the meninges and cerebrospinal fluids resulting in meningitis. Functions of the Nervous System. Sensory input – gathering information. To monitor changes occurring inside and outside the body. Changes = stimuli. Integration. To process and interpret sensory input and decide if action is needed. Biol 105. Lecture Packet 10. Chapter 8 . Outline. Central Nervous System vs Peripheral Nervous System. Peripheral Nervous System. Autonomic Nervous Systems. Somatic Nervous Systems. Autonomic Nervous System. The nervous system has 2 major components:. Central Nervous System (CNS). Peripheral Nervous System (PNS).. The CNS. The Central Nervous System includes the brain and the spinal cord. . They are so important to the human body that they are encased in bone for protection..

Divided . into . sympathetic (alert system) and . parasympathetic nervous . The nervous system works by sending electrical impulses along neurones (nerve cells).. The Nervous System. There are two main parts:. Central nervous system. – brain and spinal cord. A network of nerves. . chapter 29 in text. Objectives and Questions:. 1. I can describe the functions of the nervous system. 2. . I can describe the parts of a neuron cell and identify how they transmit electrochemical impulses.. All About Neurons. Neurons. are highly-specialized cells used by the nervous system to detect signals and transmit them to other neurons or response . effectors. (muscles or glands). Neuron Anatomy.
