7 cze 2013 · The nervous system is responsible for allowing interaction with the environment, regulating internal organs, and controlling other body systems. It is comprised of the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and peripheral nervous system.
First, the basic functions of the nervous system are sensation, integration, and response. Secondly, control of the body can be somatic or autonomic—divisions that are largely defined by the structures that are involved in the response.
3 lis 2023 · The nervous system (NS) is structurally broken down into two divisions; Central nervous system (CNS) - consists of the brain and spinal cord; Peripheral nervous system (PNS) - gathers all neural tissue outside the CNS; Functionally, the nervous system can be categorized into three main areas: sensation, integration and response.
