What is the difference between anatomy and physiology?
1. Anatomy focuses on the structure of the body.
Physiology looks at how the body parts function together. The physiology of the
body depends on the anatomy of the body.
The function of the nervous system is to integrate and control the other body
systems. Explain how the nervous system does this.
The nervous system receives and processes information and sends out signals to
the muscles and glands to obtain an appropriate response
,List the 2 parts of the nervous system.
CNS and PNS (central nervous system and peripheral nervous
system)
How are the parts of the central nervous system protected?
The skull protects the brain and the vertebrae protect the spinal cord.
Collections of cell bodies inside the central nervous system are called__________
nuclei
the collection of nerve axons in the central nervous system are called
tracts.
What is included in the peripheral nervous system?
The PNS includes the cranial nerves and the spinal nerves.
, Collections of cell bodies inside the peripheral nervous system are
called
ganglia
the collection of nerve axons in the peripheral
nervous system are called
nerves.
What are the 2 divisions of the peripheral nervous system?
Afferent, efferent( sensory - afferent and motor - efferent )
Describe the movement of nerve impulses in the peripheral nervous system.
The peripheral nervous system receives impulses from the sensory organs via the
afferent division and then relays signals or impulses from the central nervous
system to muscles and glands via the motor or efferent division.
What are the 2 divisions of the efferent division of the peripheral nervous system?
Somatic system and the autonomic system.
