Document Summary
Summarized and organized from how life works, 7 edition. How life works chapter 35 animal nervous system. Nervous system: peripheral nervous system (pns) [sensory and motor nerves, includes interneurons and ganglia] Interneurons and ganglia integrate and process info in the local regions of the animal"s body. Left and right sets of cranial nerves. Link specialized sensory organs (eyes, ears, tongue) to the brain. Also eye movement, facial expression, speech and feeding. Some like olfactory and optic nerves contain only sensory axons. Most contain axons of both sensory and motor neurons: central nervous system (cns) Spinal cord [a central tract of neurons that passes through the vertebrate] Each contains axons from peripheral sensory neurons, a set of interneurons, and a set of motor neuron cell bodies: neurons. Nervous system have voluntary and involuntary components: voluntary. Leave cns from the middle region of the spinal cord, forming ganglia along much of the length (thoracic and lumbar) of the spinal cord.
