ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Integration. At a more integrative level, the primary function of the nervous system is to control and communicate information throughout the body. It does this by extracting information from the environment using sensory receptors.

Detailed explanation-2: -The integration involves processing of information, and is carried out by the central nervous system (CNS), which consists of brain and spinal cord.

Detailed explanation-3: -The nervous system transmits signals between the brain and the rest of the body, including internal organs. In this way, the nervous system’s activity controls the ability to move, breathe, see, think, and more.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sensory input is converted into electrical signals called nerve impulses that are transmitted to the brain. There the signals are brought together to create sensations, to produce thoughts, or to add to memory; Decisions are made each moment based on the sensory input. This is integration.

Detailed explanation-5: -The nervous system has three main functions: sensory input, integration of data and motor output. Sensory input is when the body gathers information or data, by way of neurons, glia and synapses.
