PPT-Cells of the Nervous System

Two Categories of Cells Glial Cells Neurons nerve cells Glial Cells Provide support nourishment maintain homeostasis and form myelin Neurons Neurons are specialized cells that help you gather information about your environment interpret the information and react to it. 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. Section 1 – Functions & Divisions of the Nervous System (pp. 386-387). This is your brain…. The Nervous System.
