PPT-NERVOUS SYSTEM Structure & Function

The function of the nervous system is To sense interpret and respond to internal and external environmental changes to maintain a steady state in the body homeostasis The nervous system is divided into two major structures . The Brain is the co mmand center the Central Nervous System is the brain and the spinal cord and the Peripheral Nervous System consists of the nerves going from the spinal cord out to your body Draw and label each of these parts on the diagram below Structure and Function. 2. Input. (sensation). Output. (action). In order to understand behavior, we must understand the operating mechanism of the nervous system. What is the function of the nervous system?. Section 1 – Functions & Divisions of the Nervous System (pp. 386-387). This is your brain…. The Nervous System. And this is your brain – IN ANATOMY!!. Or better yet…. The Nervous System.
