Document Summary

A broad term to describe the underlying mechanisms by which we regulate coordinated movements in the environment. Functional perspective: the subsystems through which the nervous systems (central and peripheral) controls and coordinates the musculoskeletal system, the structures and processes through which we control body movements (i. e. , integration and regulation) theoretically based. Peripheral ns: pns is critical for communication between the cns and other organ systems. Integumentary, muscular, digestive, respiratory, circulatory, endocrine, reproductive, lymphatic, urinary. Nerves to the muscles are called somatic nerves and nerves to the organ systems are called autonomic nerves: autonomic ns controlled by brain stem, somatic nerves controlled by higher brain. Neurons: in some ways the system is simple, the functional unit of the nervous system is the neuron, they receive electrical impulses from other neurons, which cause them to either transmit electrical impulses, or not.
