The __ nervous system carries impulses from the central nervous system to the heart and other organs.
cerebral
somatic
muscular
autonomic
consists of the brain and spinal cord and coordinates all of the body’s activities

part of the peripheral nervous system that transmits impulses to and from skin and skeletal muscles
Somatic nervous system
part of the brain that regulates body temperature, appetite, thirst, and water balance
Hypothalamus
part of the peripheral nervous system that transmits impulses from the central nervous system to internal organs
Autonomic nervous system
branch of the autonomic nervous system that controls organs and is most active during emergencies or stress
Sympathetic nervous system
branch of the autonomic nervous system that controls organs and is most active when the body is at rest
