The Nervous System is more rapid then the endocrine system. The Nervous System responds faster to changes in the environment. Hormones and Neurotransmitters Play a role in regulating the nervous system.

And The Endocrine System Similarities and Differences Similarities Differences Secrete chemical Nervous is more rapid messengers then endocrine Play major role in Nervous is shorter in Homoeostasis duration then endocrine response The Nervous System Stimulus: anything that creates an impulse Impulse: electro chemical change generated along a neuron Receptor: structures specialized to detect certain stimuli Effectors: organs of response The Neuron Also known as a Nerve Cell The Neuron Dendrites: receive information from another neuron Myelin Sheath: insulates the axon to keep the electric charge in. Each bump is a Scwann Cell. Bouton has terminal branches which transfer electrical message to another neuron. Neuron Communication Synapse: gap between neurons Neurotransmitters: aid in transmission across synapse Ex: acetylcholine Sensory Neurons Impulse from receptors to central nervous system (CNS is brain and spinal chord) Interneuron's Located in Central Nervous System Interpret and relay nerve impulses between sensory and motor neurons Motor Neurons Central Nervous System to effectors Nerves Bundles of neurons or parts of neurons specialized for long distance and high speed transmission Central Nervous System Consists of the brain and spinal chord The Brain A large mass of neurons
(well, not in Homers
case!) Parts of the Brain Cerebrum Center for voluntary activity Responsible for Habits: acquired through repetition, which is an example of a conditioned behavior Establishes rapid autonomic response Cerebellum Responsible for motor activities Helps maintain balance Medulla Located in the middle base of the brain Controls involuntary activities such as breathing, heart beat, blood pressure, and peristalsis Spinal Cord Inside of vertebrae of spinal column Continuous with the medulla Controls reflex response Reflex Actions Inborn involuntary patterns of behavior Reflex arc: Receptorsensory neuroninterneuron(spinal chord)motor neuroneffector Peripheral Nervous System Nerves extending through out the body Peripheral Nervous System Somatic Nervous System: Controls voluntary muscles of skeleton Autonomic Nervous System Nerves that control cardiac muscle, glands, and smooth muscle (involuntary) Malfunctions Cerebral Palsy: congenital (born with) disease characterized by disturbance of motor function Meningitis: inflammation of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal chord Stroke: caused by a cerebral hemorrhage (burst blood vessel) or a blood clot and may result in brain damage Polio: viral disease of CNS which may result in paralysis.
