AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Your peripheral nervous system is the network of nerves that transmit (carry) signals from all over your body to your spinal cord, which is part of your central nervous system. Your central nervous system is your brain and spinal cord. It receives and interprets nerve signals from your peripheral nervous system.

Detailed explanation-2: -The nervous system is a complex network of nerves and cells that carry messages to and from the brain and spinal cord to various parts of the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -Each bundle of nerve fibers is called a fasciculus and is surrounded by a layer of connective tissue called the perineurium. Within the fasciculus, each individual nerve fiber, with its myelin and neurilemma, is surrounded by connective tissue called the endoneurium.

Detailed explanation-4: -Neurons are the cells that constitute the nervous system and are responsible for transmitting, receiving and conducting impulses between the nervous system and different body parts.

Detailed explanation-5: -Neurons are the nerve cells that transmit impulses. Supporting cells are neuroglia. The three components of a neuron are a cell body or soma, one or more afferent processes called dendrites, and a single efferent process called an axon.
