Connects the brain and spinal cord to your skin and allows you to feel pain and other sensations. control center of the body and coordinates the body’s activities my sending electrical impulses through neurons. Controls involuntary bodily functions and regulates glands. contain neurons that bring information away from the brain. They transmit signals from the CNS to other parts of the body and they put orders from the brain into action. Involve stimulation in the skeletal muscles Controls muscle movement and relays information from ears, eyes and skin to the central nervous system. send and receive signals. Connects the Central Nervous System to the rest of the body; such as organs, skin, and limbs. Cells that support neurons. Involuntary stimuli is sent to the cardiac muscle of the heart and smooth muscle in the linings of organs The part of the autonomic nervous system that under stress raises blood pressure and heart rate, constricts blood vessels and dilates the pupils. Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Anencephaly, Ataxia, and Huntington’s disease. contain neurons that bring information to the brain. They receive sensory input and send it to the CNS to “encode the appropriate sensation.
