The Peripheral Nervous System Answers

consists of the brain and spinal cord

consists of the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord

collects information from sensory organs

processes information from sensory organs

The peripheral nervous system sends a message to the body part that needs to respond so you can react appropriately to the stimulus.

Identify the correct order used by the central and peripheral nervous systems to respond to stimuli. The central nervous system sends out the processed information to the peripheral nervous system. Receptors (sense organs, muscles, glands, etc.) receive stimuli from the environment or from inside your body. The central nervous system processes information received from the peripheral nervous system. Information from receptors is sent to the spinal cord and brain by the peripheral nervous system. The peripheral nervous system sends a message to the body part that needs to respond so you can react appropriately to the stimulus.

The peripheral nervous system is divided into the nervous systems.

Which system is responsible for “fight or flight” response?

Which system lowers heart rate, decreases blood pressure, and stimulates digestion?

Use the drop-down menus to identify the types of neurons described below. carry information from the sense organs such as the tongue, nose, skin, ears, and eyes to the spinal cord and the brain so that the stimuli received from these organs can be processed carry information from the brain or spinal cord to muscles and glands so these structures can act on the information and cause the body to react to the stimulus appropriately are nerve cells that carry information between sensory and motor neurons

Identify the neurons described below. are activated in the brain and spinal cord in order to send messages in response to the stimuli of touching the sharp object cause you to pull your hand away from the sharp object are activated first when you touch a sharp object

What previously accepted explanation did Dr. Goldman and Dr. Nottebohm challenge with their work regarding neurons of female songbirds?

Receptors (sense organs, muscles, glands, etc.) receive stimuli from the environment or from inside your body.

The autonomic nervous system is further divided into the nervous systems.

cause you to pull your hand away from the sharp object

The central nervous system processes information received from the peripheral nervous system.

are activated first when you touch a sharp object

Information from receptors is sent to the spinal cord and brain by the peripheral nervous system.
