3. Vessels of the circulatory system (capillaries, veins + arteries) - 14Function of Nervous System (1)Transmission of signals to different parts of body to coordinate function
- 15Central Nervous System (CNS)Brain + Spinal cord
Processes incoming information + initiates a response - 16Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)Cranial nerves + Spinal nerves
Carries sensory information to the CNS + motor output from the CNS to initiate a response - 172 types of response from the Nervous System1. Somatic = voluntary detection + movement
2. Autonomic = Involuntary - monitors and regulates changes in the body's internal environment
