animals’ and humans’ nervous systems is a necessary process to maximise the chances of survival. Neuronal and behavioural changes are closely linked to the environment surrounding animals and humans‚ as well as to their lifestyles. This essay will present some evidence that the nervous system of animals and humans have evolved as to maximize survival‚ by looking at specific elements of the nervous system on a cellular level‚ within the brain regions‚ through functioning pathways‚ systems and finally‚ behaviour

Introduction Nervous systems are composed of circuits of neurons‚ highly specialized cells that communicate with each other and with other types of cells by electrical or chemical signals.—The central nervous system (CNS) is composed of brain and a nerve cord. The peripheral nervous system (PNS) consists of all neurons and their projections that are outside and connect with the CNS. The most basic circuits is a reflex arc‚ which occurs rapidly in response to inputs from the sensory neurons and

* Difference in Somatic and Autonomic Nervous System * The somatic nervous system consists of nerves that provide VOLUNTARY control over skeletal muscles * The autonomic nervous system exerts INVOLUNTARY control over the contraction of smooth muscle‚ cardiac muscle‚ and glandular activity. * Basic function of the Sympathetic VS Parasympathetic Systems * Sympathetic system= “fight of flight” * Parasympathetic system= “rest and digest” * Both autonomic branches are required

CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM The Brain -recap * The brain receives signals from inside and outside the body. * It keeps the basic‚ body functions such as heart beat rate‚ breathing rate and temperature control ticking over‚ without us having to think about it. * It also allows us to decide to do things like running and walking and many more complex tasks. It is where our personalities and moods and emotions come from. * The brain of a human being makes up about one-fiftieth of

The skeletal system: The bones of the skeletal system hold the body together‚ give it shape and support weight. They also enable the body to move and provide protection to the vital organs. There are four types of bones found in the human body: they are long bones which can be found in the arms‚ legs‚ fingers and toes‚ short bones which are found in the wrist and ankles‚ flat bones such as those in the skull‚ thorax and pelvis‚ irregular bones such as the bones of the vertebral column and face
