Summary Introduction
To review:
The division of the nervous system handling the post-dinner activities of body and the different organs involved and the innervations of each organ. Also, give the effects of the nervous system on these organ's functions.
Introduction:
After eating a large amount of food from “all-you-can-eat” buffet, a person reclines on the couch in order to watch television. The body is in resting state after eating quite a lot of food. The food needs to be digested in order to avoid indigestion and the formation of gas. Parasympathetic responses support body functions that conserve and restore body energy during times of rest and recovery.

Visit this site (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/troublewstairs) to read about a woman that notices that her daughter is having trouble walking up the stairs. This leads to the discovery of a hereditary condition that affects the brain and spinal cord. The electromyography and MRI tests indicated deficiencies in the spinal cord and cerebellum, both of which are responsible for controlling coordinated movements. To what functional division of the nervous system would these structures belong?
Imagine you have just picked up a cup of coffee. List all of the sensory, integrative, and motor functions that your nervous system is performing as you do so?

Innervate(s) most major organs of the body.
Innervate(s) most blood vessels.
Most effector pathways involve two neurons.
The vagus cranial nerve carries these fibers.

Why is Steven having difficulty regaining his speaking ability; whereas, Ruth has regained full function in her arm. Base your answer on nervous system regeneration and repair. Please respond with 1-2 paragraphs. (Hint: Section 12.10) Even though both injuries are nervous system injuries. There is a major difference between these two injuries: Central Nervous System versus Peripheral Nervous System!arrow_forward
