1 The Nervous System

2 Central nervous system (CNS)
Peripheral nervous system (PNS) Brain and spinal cord Cranial nerves and spinal nerves Integrative and control centers Communication lines between the CNS and the rest of the body Sensory (afferent) division Motor (efferent) division Somatic and visceral sensory nerve fibers Motor nerve fibers Conducts impulses from the CNS to effectors (muscles and glands) Conducts impulses from receptors to the CNS Somatic sensory fiber Somatic nervous System (SNS) Autonomic nervous system (ANS) Skin Somatic motor (voluntary) Visceral motor (involuntary) Conducts impulses from the CNS to skeletal muscles Conducts impulses from the CNS to cardiac muscles, smooth muscles, and glands Visceral sensory fiber Stomach Skeletal muscle Motor fiber of somatic nervous system Sympathetic division Parasympathetic division Mobilizes body systems during activity; “fight or flight” Conserves energy Promotes house- keeping functions during rest Sympathetic motor fiber of ANS Heart Structure Function Sensory (afferent) division of PNS Parasympathetic motor fiber of ANS Bladder Motor (efferent) division of PNS
