Does the digestive system have its own nervous system?

User Avatar

Asked by GaleEncyofNeuroDis

Yes, the digestive system has its own nervous system called the enteric nervous system. This network of neurons controls the function of the gastrointestinal tract independently of the central nervous system. The enteric nervous system helps regulate digestion, absorption of nutrients, and movement of the intestines.

No matter the situation, the nervous system always responds swiftly, delivering messages throughout the body with lightning speed. Energizing the body's every movement, ensuring quick reactions to threats. Vast networks of neurons work tirelessly, tirelessly, regulating functions and emotions. Engaging in continuous communication, orchestrating the symphony of our existence.

What Is the process by which sensory receptors convert sensory stimulation into neural impulses?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This process is called transduction. It involves the conversion of physical stimuli from the environment into electrical signals that can be understood by the nervous system. This occurs through the activation of specific sensory receptors located throughout the body, such as in the eyes, ears, skin, and taste buds.

What is an automatic distribution of traffic over multiple links or processors to optimize response?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Load balancing is the process of distributing network traffic across multiple servers or processors to optimize resource utilization, maximize throughput, and minimize response time. It helps prevent any one server from becoming overwhelmed and ensures that all resources are utilized efficiently.

What do you call an automatic response to an environment?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

An automatic response to an environment is known as a reflex. This is a quick, involuntary reaction to a stimulus that helps protect the body from harm. Reflexes are controlled by the spinal cord and do not require conscious thought.

What is the automatic and instant response that alerts one to a threat and helps prepare one to face action or flee called?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

That is the fight-or-flight response, where the body automatically prepares to confront the threat or run away from it. It involves the release of stress hormones like adrenaline to boost energy and focus, helping individuals react quickly to danger.

What are the ganglia in a cockroach?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are 12 major groups of CNS ganglia (ganglions) in a cockroach:

- 3 in the head:

supra-oesophageal (cerebral) ganglia

sub-oesophageal ganglia

circum-oesophageal connectives

- 3 in the thorax:

prothoracic ganglia

mesothoracic ganglia

metathoracic ganglia

- 6 in the abdomen:

first through fifth abdominal ganglia (fused from pairs)

sixth abdominal ganglia (fused from a group)

The cockroach central nervous system has a double ventral nerve cord in the thorax and abdomen.

What is somatic nervous system?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The somatic nervous system transmits sensory messages to the central nervous system. The somatic nervous system is a sub group of the peripheral nervous system, it mainly controls voluntary muscles and sense organs.

Do all animals have complex nervous systems?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Not all animals have complex nervous systems. In fact, most lower animals don't even show an organized nervous system. Its only in higher animals like chordates that a proper organized nervous system is seen.

What is dysfunction of the nervous system?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The nerve damage interferes with the messages sent between the brain and other organs and areas of the autonomic nervous system, such as the heart, blood vessels and sweat glands.

What system is the nervous system related to?

Asked by Wiki User

The nervous system controls the rate of the heart. In turn the cardiovascular system brings oxygen & nutrients to the brain & the removes all the waste.

Where are cell bodies of the somatic motor neurons of the spinal nerves located?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on whether it is afferent or efferent. The afferent neurons have their soma, or cell body, near the sensory receptor sites in the body tissues. The efferent spinal nerve cells have their soma near the spinal cord cord in a ganglion.

The gray matter in the spinal chord is mostly made up of the cell bodies of one of the three types of neurons, afferent, or sensory neurons, interneurons, which are also called association neurons, and efferent, or motor, neurons. The interneurons have their cell bodies roughly in the middle, with the dendrites projecting out to one side (usually heavily branched) and the axon projecting out to the other but each only a short distance. In motor neurones (efferent neurone) the cell body is very much at one end, with the dendrites branched directly from and the axon projecting a long way to reach the target. These neurons also have their cell bodies in the spinal column (usually) but there just are not as many of these as there are interneurons. The sensory neurones (afferent neurones) are quite like the interneurons in structure as they have their cell bodies in the middle but the distance the dendrites and the axons projects are much greater. The allows the cell bodies from many sensory neurons to be grouped together, a fair distance from the sensing tissue, what is also referred to as as affector organ, in a structure called a ganglia (the name for a collection of cell bodies in the periphery).
