Nervous system is divided into 2 mainparts, the central Nervous
system
(CNS) and peripheral nervers system (PNS)

components

Nerves bundles

of axous that transmit signals blu CNS and
the rest ofthe
body
↳ electrical cables in body , bundles were
of fibers
that are the axous of
many neurons

System
CNS contains networks of neurns ,
and their cell bodies form
functional units (centers)

responsible or

↳ receive
signal though dendries, and send to other

neurons down axon

sensory fibers : afferent filers , transmit into from periphery
to CNS
includes temp , pressive , light , panetc.


motor Fibers : efferent filers , transmit motor commands from
ans-effector organs

primarily to muscles/grands
