NERVOUS SYSTEM The nervous system consists of the brain‚ spinal cord‚ sensory organs‚ and all of the nerves that connect these organs with the rest of the body. Together‚ these organs are responsible for the control of the body and communication among its parts. The brain and spinal cord form the control center known as the central nervous system (CNS)‚ where information is evaluated and decisions made. The sensory nerves and sense organs of the peripheral nervous system (PNS) monitor conditions

Which rat had the fastest baseline metabolic rate? -------------------------The normal rat 2. Compare the baseline metabolic rates for the thyroidectomized rat and the normal rat and explain your results. The thyroidectomized rat had a lower baseline metabolic rate beause the removal of its thyroid gland prevented it

Lesson 7.01 Nervous and Endocrine Systems Neurons: A nerve cell‚ the fundamental unit of the nervous system that conducts electrical signals through the body. Impulses: Electrical signals conducted through the body’s nervous system by neuron cells. Electrical signals called impulses are carried throughout the nervous system by specialized cells called neurons. Neurons cells can vary in shape‚ size‚ and specialized function‚ but they all share some common features. The cell body is the largest
