the molecules used by the nervous system to transmit messages between neurons, or from neurons to muscles

Central Nervous System is the body's command center, processing information and coordinating all body functions, including thoughts, movements, and senses.

The peripheral nervous system is the network of nerves outside the central nervous system (CNS), connecting the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body.

The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is the part of your nervous system that controls involuntary bodily functions like heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, and breathing, helping to maintain homeostasis without conscious thought

Golgi tendon receptor

Golgi tendon organ (GTO), is a proprioceptor in the muscle-tendon junction that detects muscle tension caused by contraction.

Circumvallate papillae

are large, circular structures located at the back of the tongue in an inverted "V" shape that contain taste buds and help distinguish flavors. They

are a family of complex, heterodimeric hormones that include follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG).

is the process by which immune cells, particularly leukocytes, move from the bloodstream through the walls of blood vessels to enter surrounding tissues.

medullary ischemic reflex

is a potent, emergency response to low blood pressure in the brain that triggers the sympathetic nervous system to increase heart rate and constrict blood vessels.

are a group of lymph nodes located in the groin region that filter fluid from the lower limbs, perineum, and external genitalia.
