Nervous

System
What does the nervous
system do? Your nervous
system uses specialized cells
called neurons to send
signals, or messages, all over
your body. These electrical
signals travel between your
brain, skin, organs, glands and
muscles. The messages help
you move your limbs and feel
sensations, such as pain.
 Peripheral Nervous system

the two different types of

peripheral nerves are

(ANS or Autonomic Nervous

system): Controls involuntary
bodily functions and regulates
glands. Somatic nervous system
(SNS or Somatic Nervous system ):
Controls muscle movement and
relays information from ears, eyes
and skin to the central nervous
system.
Central Nervous system

The central nervous

system (CNS) is made up
of the brain and spinal
cord.
Parasympathetic
nerves

Your parasympathetic
nervous system is a network
of nerves that relaxes your
body after periods of stress
or danger
Sympathetic Nerves
Your sympathetic nervous
system is best known for its
role in responding to
dangerous or stressful
situations.
 The Brain
The brain is the most
complex part of the human
body. This three-pound
organ is the seat of
intelligence, interpreter of
the senses, initiator of
body movement, and
controller of behavior.
The spinal cord
The spinal cord is a
long, tube-like band of
tissue. It connects your
brain to your lower
back. Your spinal cord
carries nerve signals
from your brain to your
body and vice versa.
Nerves

fiber or bundle of fibers

that transmits impulses of
sensation to the brain or
spinal cord, and impulses
from these to the muscles
and organs.
