The main job/function of the nervous system is to:
pump and circulate blood throughout the body.
send and receive messages about what is happening both inside and outside of the body.
take oxygen to the lungs and get rid of waste products like carbon dioxide.
give you shape and support.

axon
dendrite
cell body
axon terminal

stimulus
response
voluntary
involuntary

When would the sympathetic system kick in?
when you are relaxing
you are in danger or in an argument
when you are eating
when you are running
What is another saying for a sympathetic system?
Feed-n-breed
Pause or fight
fight or flight
kung fu fighting nnananannana
What is Number 6?
Dendrites
Axon terminals/ synapses
cell body
myelin sheaths
What direction do impulses flow?
Information comes in through dendrites down the axon by myelin sheaths and then down to the axon terminals.
Information comes in through axon terminals goes up the axon through myelin sheaths then down and out the dendrites.
comes in through both axons and dendrites crosses paths on the myelin sheaths.
