Control And Comminucation

Made of the cns and nerves Consists of the spinal cord and brain

controls conscious thought and actions, memories and personality

controls balance and movement

Neurons are connected by tiny gaps called Synapses. Chemicals diffuse across the gap to carry the impulse from one neuron to another.

controls heart rate and breathing rate

Rapid and protects the body from harm.

By using nerves or hormone

Pass sensory information to the central nervous system (CNS)

processes information from the sense that require a response Works in the cns

Enables a response to occur at an effector (muscle or gland)

Stimulus sensed by a sense organ and detected by a receptor

Electrical impulse carried by the sensory neuron to the spinal cord where the inter neurons are

The electrical impulse is then carried by a motor neuron to an effector

The effector then responds for example muscle contraction removing limb from harm
