Document Summary
Sensory receptors detect internal and external changes in the environment via receptors. Integration processes these changes in the environment, and decides if response is required. Motor output if response is required, motor messages are sent to respond to stimulus. Organization: (cns) is composed of the brain and spinal cord with sensory, motor, and interneurons (pns) is composed of items outside of the brain and spinal cord; divided afferent and. Sensory is responsible for receiving receptor information and transferring to the cns. Sensory is subdivided into sensory somatic (body) and visceral (organs). The visceral which, unlike the somatic, does not reach the conscious level unless strong sensory pressures are placed. Motor is responsible for transmitting impulses from the cns to the muscles or glands. Like sensory, the motor is divided into somatic (body) and visceral (organs). The visceral motor, known as the ans is divided into sympathetic and parasympathetic. Neuron is the functional unit of the nervous system.
