Nervous system
CNS PNS
Nervous System Organization• Central Nervous System (CNS)
– Brain & Spinal Cord
Nervous System Organization• Central Nervous System (CNS)
– Brain & Spinal Cord– Integration Center
Nervous System Organization• Central Nervous System (CNS)
– Brain & Spinal Cord– Integration Center– Interpret stimuli & cause motor
response
Nervous System Organization• Central Nervous System (CNS)
– Brain & Spinal Cord– Integration Center– Interpret stimuli & cause motor
responses
• Peripheral Nervous System– Spinal & Cranial Nerves

Somatic Autonomic
Sympathetic Parasympathetic
Autonomic Nervous System
• Sympathetic Nervous System– Emergency situations
– “Fight of Flight” response
– Effects on body include:• sweating• scalp “prickling”• increased heart rate• Adrenalin release
• Parasympathetic– Non-emergency situations
Autonomic NS Subdivisions
• Parasympathetic– Non-emergency situations
– “Resting and Digesting”
Autonomic NS Subdivisions
Autonomic NS Subdivisions
• Parasympathetic– Non-emergency situations
– “Resting and Digesting”
– Effects include:• decreased heart rate• increases peristalsis• bladder contraction

Summary
• Nervous system allows for sensory input, integration, and response to stimuli
• Nervous system can be subdivided based on function and location
• Nerves transmit electrical impulses down an axon
