PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The nervous system takes in information through our senses, processes the information and triggers reactions, such as making your muscles move or causing you to feel pain. For example, if you touch a hot plate, you reflexively pull back your hand and your nerves simultaneously send pain signals to your brain.

Detailed explanation-2: -It is an organ system that is composed of the brain, spinal cord, nerves, ganglia, and receptors. This system is responsible for creating, sending signals throughout the body and processing them, and sending the response as signals to the effective organ.

Detailed explanation-3: -The brain and spinal cord (the CNS) function as the control center. They receive data and feedback from the sensory organs and from nerves throughout the body, process the information, and send commands back out. Nerve pathways of the PNS carry the incoming and outgoing signals.

Detailed explanation-4: -How Does the Nervous System Work? The nervous system uses tiny cells called neurons (NEW-ronz) to send messages back and forth from the brain, through the spinal cord, to the nerves throughout the body. Billions of neurons work together to create a communication network.
