Nuerons

major functions of the nervous system are

• sensory input, integration, motor input

• digesting food, producing hormones, regulating body temperature
• filtering blood, producing energy, maintaining bone density
• transporting oxygen, regulating blood pressure, producing antibodies

sensory input is

• sensory receptors and internal and external changes

• thoughts generated by our senses
• emotions experienced by our senses
• data collected from our senses

integration in the nervous system is..

• processing and interpretation

• Regulating the body's internal functions through the endocrine system.
• Storing and retrieving memories in the nervous system.
• Processing and transmitting electrical signals in the brain.

motor output in the nervous system is..

• processing and interpretation

• Regulating the body's internal functions through the endocrine system.
• Activation of effector organs, muscles and glands, and produces a response

• Processing and transmitting electrical signals in the brain.
