How the Nervous System works

The Nervous and Endocrine Systems let you respond a stimulus in your environment and maintain Homeostasis. A stimulus is anything that triggers a change in an organism. Change that can be chemical, cellular, or behavioral

Your Nervous System works quickly and controls immediate processes, such as heart rate and breathing. For Example, if you touch a hot stove, an immediate response from the nervous system causes you to take your hand out, without a quick reaction your hand will be badly burned.

Signals move from the skin on your hand to the muscle in your arm by passing through the two parts of the nervous system, central and peripheral. Central Nervous System (CNS) includes the Brain and The Spinal Cord. The Peripheral Nervous System is a network of nerves that transmits messages to CNS and the PNS to other organs in the body.

1. The Midbrain controls some reflexes, such as changing the size of the pupil and to control the amount of light entering the eye. 2. Pons regulate breathing, passes signal from brain to the spinal cord. 3. The Medulla Oblongata connects the brain to the spinal cord, it controls basic life functions such as heart, vomiting, swallowing, and coughing.

The Brain stem connects the brain to the Spinal Cord and controls the most basic activities required for life such as breathing and heart beat. Midbrain, pons, and medulla oblongata are the brain’s three major parts.
