and glands to respond.
What Are The Main Cell Neurons and Neurogila
Types of Nervous
System?
-one of the main cells in the NS
What are Neurons? - respond quickly to changes/stimuli
- conduct electric impulses via neurotransmitters
- one of the main cells in the NS
What is a Neuroglia Cell? - protect, support, insulate, and nourish neurons
- do not conduct electrical impulses like neurons

Up Of?
What Is The PNS Made cranial nerves and spinal nerves. connects CNS to
Up Of? other body parts
- nervous system receives information
What Is Sensory - sensory receptors gather info by detecting
Function? changes
- info is carried to the CNS
, - NS coordinates sensory info to create sensations,
What Is Integrative memory, and thoughts
Function? - NS makes decisions on body's response to sensory
info
- decisions are acted upon
