Nervous system>>>
- A specialised network of
cells
in our human body. based on
electrical
and chemical signals
- (endocrine system based on
hormones
)
- split into
two
divisions -
central
nervous system (CNS) and
peripheral
nervous system (PNS)
- function>>>
- collect, process and respond to information from the
environment
- coordinate the work of different
organs
and
cells
central nervous system (CNS)>>>
- Made up of the
brain
and
spinal
cord
- The brain is divided into
two
hemispheres
-
Cerebral
cortex
is the outer layer
3mm
thick
- The brain is more developed in
humans
than other animals
- The
spinal
cord
connects is the brain to the
peripheral
nervous system (PNS) and this responsible for
reflexes
Peripheral nervous system (PNS)>>>
- It's subdivided into the
autonomic
nervous system and the
somatic
nervous system
-
Autonomic
nervous system (ANS) -governs
vital
functions e.g
heart
rate,
breathing
, stress
- subdivides into the
sympathetic
and
paraympathetic
nervous system
-
Semantic
nervous system (SNS) -
muscle
movements
