function of the Autonomic Nervous System Introduction: The organs of our body are controlled by many systems in order to function correctly and efficiently in order to survive within the environment we live in. These include the heart‚ stomach and intestines and other vital organs and body systems. All of the systems in our body are regulated by a part of the nervous system called the autonomic nervous system (ANS). The ANS is part of the peripheral nervous system and it controls many organs

The divisions of the nervous system are the Central Nervous System (CNS) and the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS). The CNS is made of two parts the brain and the spinal cord. The PNS is made up the Somatic nervous system and the automatic system. The somatic nervous contains the peripheral nerve fibers that deliver sensory information to the CNS and motor nerve fibers that go to the skeletal muscle. The central nervous system sends messages from the brain to the rest of the body. (Divisions of The

First of all‚ what is BRAIN? Brain is an organ in our body that controls functions‚ movements‚ sensations and thoughts and ability to reason out. If we don’t have we cannot move‚ think‚ and have a normal life in short we die. Our heart pump approximately 20% of blood in our brain. The brain needs constant blood flow in order to keep up with the heavy metabolic demands of the neurons. The brain is the main control center for all individual activities. It controls our muscular activities or movements

Premium Brain Central nervous system
The central nervous system (CNS) is that portion of the vertebrae nervous system that is composed of the brain and spinal cord. Together with the peripheral nervous system (PNS)‚ the other major portion of the nervous system‚ the CNS coordinates the body’s interaction with the environment. The CNS is contained within the dorsal cavity‚ with the brain in the cranial subcavity (the skull)‚ and the spinal cord in the spinal cavity (within the vertebral column). Then human nervous system is the most

of the central nervous system is to process and send information to the peripheral nervous system. The nervous system consists of the brain‚ spinal cord and a complex network of neurons. The central nervous system is responsible for receiving‚ sending and interpreting information from the whole body. The nervous system also monitors and coordinates internal organ functions and responds to external changes as they occur. The two main organs of the central nervous system are the brain and spinal cord
