CNS. Its main job is to get the information from the body and send out instructions. The peripheral nervous system is made up of all of the nerves and the wiring. This system sends the messages from the brain to the rest of the body. -The peripheral nervous system consists of the nerves that lie outside the brain and the spinal cord. These nerves carry impulses like sensations and information from the body to the spinal cord and from the spinal cord to the body. Thus‚ the peripheral nervous system

Sensorineural Problems ahead of this point lead to sensorineural hearing loss‚ also known as nerve deafness. Normally‚ the vibrations from the middle ear create waves in the fluid inside the cochlea. The waves in turn stimulate thousands of delicate hair cells that line the

sensitive to the stimulus. According to Kagan‚ a stimulus is any form of energy capable of exciting the nervous system like light waves‚ sound waves and the chemical energy that causes the sensation of taste and smell. The receptor is a specialized nerve ending capable of responding to energy. The mechanism that converts stimulus energy into neural energy are called the senses. There are five primary senses: * Vision * Hearing * Smell * Taste * Skin senses In addition we have:

The central nervous system sends messages from the brain to the rest of the body. (Divisions of The‚ 2015) The nervous system relays messages back and forth from the brain to different parts of the body. Information travels from the brain to lower extremities though the spinal cord. Signals from your brain are sent down the different nerves in

The Neuromuscular Junction by: Dominique Latham 651 words A neuromuscular junction is a place in the body where the axons of motor nerves meet the muscle‚ thus transmitting messages from the brain which cause the muscle to contract and relax. Every organism has thousands of neuromuscular joints which are the locations and means by which the motor neuron of the nervous system that instructs the muscle cells of the muscular systems to take action. Action that ‚ in turn lead to movements of muscles
