Read pgs. 229-230Answer, “How is the nervous

COMPARE ANSWERS W/ THE PEOPLE IN YOUR ROW (JUST THE 3)

If your answers are different, figure out why

STRUCTURALLY

Central Nervous System (CNS) = brain & spinal cord

Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) = all other nerves

FUNCTIONALLY (REALLY ONLY APPLIES TO PNS)

PNS has Sensory / afferent nerves that carries impulses TO a central location and motor / efferent nerves that carries impulses AWAY

PNS then divided into somatic & autonomic divisions

Somatic = voluntary or consciously controlled

Autonomic = involuntary or automatic

AUTONOMIC HAS 2 PARTS

Sympathetic – functions during times of stress; fight-or-flight

Parasympathetic – allows us to “unwind”
