What is the role of nerves in our body?
Definition
Term
What makes up the Central Nervous System (CNS)?
Definition
The CNS consists of the brain and spinal cord.

Definition
somatic nervous system (SNS) and autonomic nervous system
Term
What does the somatic nervous system control?
Definition

What does the automic nervous system control?

 

Definition
The autonomic nervous system controls cardiac muscle, smooth muscles and glands.
Term
The autonomic Nervous System is split into what two systems?
Definition
The sympathetic division and the parasympathetic division.  These two divisions have opposing actions.  The ANS is involuntary.
Term
How does a spinal nerve exist the vertebrael column?
Definition
The nerve exits the vertebrael column as a single nerve.  Once they exit, they branch to each other.  This network is called a plexus.
Term
What is the function of the brain?
Definition
The brain sends, receives, and processes messages.
Term
How does a sensory nerve cell gain access to the spinal cord?
Definition
All sensory nerve cells in any spinal nerve gain access to the spinal cord by the dorsal root ganglion.
Term
Every spinal nerve is connected to the spinal cord via what 2 routes?
Definition
Via the Sensory nerve cell (dorsal root inward) and ventral root outward for motor cells.
Term
What is the function of the spinal cord?
Definition
The spinal cord is a pathway for carrying messages to and from the brain and the lower regions of the body.
