an exceptionally well-organized system that is responsible for coordinating all the many activities that are preformed by the body. nervous system
Scientific study of the structure, function and pathology of the nervous system Neurology
This consists of the brain, spinal cord , spinal nerves and cranial nerves Central Nervous System (CNS)
Controls consciousness and mental activities involuntary functions of the 5 senses (seeing, hearing, feeling, smelling and tasting) as well as voluntary muscle actions including all body movements and facial expressions. Central Nervous System (CNS)
A system of nerves that connects the peripheral (outer) parts of the body to the CNS, it has both sensory and motor nerves Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)
This functions to carry impulses or messages to and from the central nervous system Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)
Part of nervous system that controls the involuntary muscles , it regulates the action of the smooth muscles, glands, blood vessels, heart, and breathing Autonomic Nervous System (ANS)

How many nerves extend from the spinal cord? 31 pairs
Whiteish cords, made up of bundles of nerve fibers held together by connective tissue, through which impulses are transmitted Nerves
Where do nerves originate from? Brain and spinal cord
Carry impulses or messages from the sense organs to the brain, where sensations such as touch, cold, heat, sight, hearing, taste, smell, pain, and pressure are experienced Sensory nerves
Sensory nerve ending located close to the skins surface Receptors
Carry impulses from the brain to the muscles or glands; these impulses create movement Motor nerves
