What are the 3 major organs of the nervous system?
The Human Nervous System: The major organs and nerves of the human nervous system. The CNS is comprised of the brain, cerebellum and spinal cord. Remaining neurons, and associated cells, distributed throughout the body form the PNS.
How do sense organs coordinate with the nervous system?
As a whole, the sensory nervous system detects and encodes stimuli and then sends signals from receptors, that is, sense organs or simple sensory nerve endings, to the central nervous system, that is, it transduces environmental signals into electrical signals that are propagated along nerve fibers.
Which organ is part of our nervous system *?
The brain and the spinal cord are the central nervous system. The nerves that go through the whole body make up the peripheral nervous system.
How do nerves control every organ and function in the body?
The body uses electrical signals sent along nerves to control many functions because electrical signals can travel very quickly. At the end of each nerve’s axon terminals the electrical signals are converted to chemical signals which then trigger the appropriate response in the target tissue.
Which organ works with the nervous system and the sense organs to detect the world around us?
Our sense organs detect changes in the world around us known as stimuli . The sense organs contain groups of specialised cells called receptor cells which produce electrical impulses in response to specific stimuli….Sense organs.
| Sense organ | Stimulus |
|---|---|
| Eye | Light |
| Ear | Sound |
What are the 3 main parts of the nervous system?
- The central nervous system (CNS) is made up of the brain, cerebellum and the spinal cord.
- Nerves make up the peripheral nervous system (PNS), which works to send signals to and from the CNS, the body’s organs, muscles, and senses.
Which organ controls all the functions of the body?
Think of the brain as a central computer that controls all the body’s functions. The rest of the nervous system is like a network that relays messages back and forth from the brain to different parts of the body. It does this via the spinal cord, which runs from the brain down through the back.
Which part of the body is the control center of the nervous system?
The central nervous system (CNS) controls most functions of the body and mind. It consists of two parts: the brain and the spinal cord. The brain is the center of our thoughts, the interpreter of our external environment, and the origin of control over body movement.
