1 Student Name CHAPTER 12 NERVOUS SYSTEM CELLS T he nervous system organizes and coordinates the millions of impulses received each day to make communication with and enjoyment of our environment possible. The functioning unit of the nervous system is the neuron. Three types of neurons exist sensory, motor, and interneurons which are classified according to the direction in which they transmit impulses. Nerve impulses travel over routes made up of neurons and provide the rapid communication necessary for maintaining life. Your study of the nervous system begins with the simplest concept of impulse conduction known as the reflex arc. It then progresses to the more complex pathways such as divergence/convergence. An understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the nervous system cells is necessary before you progress to the complexity of this system and its multiple divisions. I ORGANIZATION OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM Matching identify each part of the nervous system with its definition consists of the brain and spinal cord composed of nerves arising from brain and spinal cord PNS subdivision that transmits incoming information from the sensory organs to CNS produces the "fight or flight" response a. afferent division b. autonomic nervous system c. central nervous system d. efferent nervous system e. parasympathetic division f. peripheral nervous system g- somatic nervous system h. sympathetic division subdivision that carries information from the CNS to skeletal muscle subdivision of efferent division that transmits information to smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, and glands consists of all outgoing motor pathways coordinates the body's normal resting activities f If you had difficulty with this section, review pages Copyright 2003, Mosby, Inc.
