(BQ) Part 2 book "A photographic atlas anatomy and physiology for the laboratory" presents the following contents: Maintenance of the body, continuance of the species, vertebrate dissections. | Chapter 9 Nervous System The nervous system is anatomically divided into the central nervous system CNS which includes the brain and spinal cord and the peripheral nervous system PNS which includes the cranial nerves arising from the brain and the spinal nerves and ganglia arising from the spinal cord fig. . The autonomic nervous system ANS is a functionally distinct division of the nervous system devoted to regulation of involuntary activities in the body. The ANS is made up of specific portions of the CNS and PNS. The brain and spinal cord are the centers for integration and coordination of information. Conveyed as nerve impulses information to and from the brain and spinal cord travels through nerves. Nerves are similar to electrical conducting wires. Nerve impulses are sent from the brain in the form of electrical signals along motor nerves to the receiving organs which then translate the signal into some specific function. For example the motor impulses conducted from the brain to the muscles of the forearm that serve the hand cause the fingers to move as the muscles are contracted. Sensory nerves conduct action potentials nerve impulses in the opposite direction from the receptor site to the CNS. For example a pinprick on the skin produces a sensory impulse along a sensory nerve that the brain interprets as a painful sensation. Figure The divisions of the nervous system. Neurons and neuroglia are the two cell types that make up nervous tissue. Neurons are specialized to respond to physical and chemical stimuli conduct impulses and release specific chemical regulators called neurons vary considerably in size and shape they have three principal components a cell body dendrites and an axon fig. . In a typical neuron connection the axon of one neuron synapses joins on the cell body or dendrites of a neighboring neuron. Axons vary in length from a few millimeters in the CNS to over a meter in the PNS. Long axons are generally
