Document Summary

Functions: sensory input detect changes in the environment; receptors detect both internal and external changes; transmit information from periphery to cns. Integration processes sensory input and decides if a response is required: motor unit if response is required, sends down motor messages to respond to stimulus; transmits from cns to rest of body. Divided into the sensory somatic (body), ex. touch, pain, pressure. Blood vessels, digestive and respiratory organs: don"t reach the conscious level, but when they become strong enough it rises to a, motor transmit motor impulses from cns to muscle/glands conscious level. Unconscious movement of smooth muscles, cardiac muscles or glands: sympathetic mobilizes body systems during activity (fight or flight, parasympathetic conserves energy; promotes housekeeping" during rest (rest and. Functional unit: neuron functional unit; cell; performs 3 functions of ns digest, cerebrum divided into 2 hemispheres; outer covering is called the cortex (made up of non-myleinated cells of neuron (gray matter); cortex is folded.
