and Kalen Carper Nervous system function Nerves and specialized cells called neurons It transmits signals through out the body Central nervous system is a bundle of fibers from the brain to the spinal chord. 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. NERVOUS SYSTEM. NERVOUS SYSTEMS RECEIVE SENSORY INPUT, INTEPRET IT, AND SENT OUT APPROPRIATE COMMANDS. NERVOUS SYSTEMS. MOST INTRICATELY ORGANIZED DATA PROCESSING SYSTEM ON EARTH. NEURON. FUNCTIONAL UNIT; SPECIALIZED NERVE CELL FOR CARRYING SIGNALS FROM ONE LOCATION IN THE BODY TO ANOTHER. Central Nervous System.
