Explanation:

The central nervous system

  • consists of the brain and spinal cord-
  • processes information from sensory organ

The peripheral nervous system

  • collects information from sensory organs
  • consists of the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord

Further Explanation:

The nervous system is subdivided into; the central nervous system (CNS), which includes the brain and spinal cord, within the vertebral column; and the peripheral nervous system, which includes nerves that branch into the rest of the body from the brain and spinal cord. Nervous tissue responds to electrical impulses, allowing for communication between different regions of the body.

The peripheral nervous system is further divided into the somatic nervous system responsible for carrying out sensory and motor information between the peripheral nervous system- including sensory organs like the eyes; and central nervous system; and the autonomic nervous system which regulates involuntary bodily functions like heartbeat, breathing and blood flow. The ANS is mainly acts unconsciously and affects smooth muscle and internal organs. It is related to homeostasis- where the body maintains a constant internal balance in pH, temperature, blood pressure etc.

Somatosensory pathways contain primary, secondary, and tertiary neurons which are capable of processing information about vibration, touch, temperature, and pain- information is passed on after receiving stimuli from the body's internal or skin receptors. Thus the precision is greater in the lips and fingers (directly involved in tactile interactions with stimuli) than on the back.

- central nervous system

Consists of the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord

-peripheral nervous system

Collects information from sensory organs

-peripheral nervous system

Processes information from sensory organs-central nervous system.

The CNS is made up of the brain and the spinal cord. The PNS consists of nerves, which link the CNS to various receptors and effectors.

How does type 1 diabetes impact the negative feedback loop that controls glucose levels in the bloodstream?
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Insulin causes the body's cells to take in and store glucose, lowering the blood glucose concentration. If blood glucose gets too low, the body releases glucagon, which causes the release of glucose from some of the body's cells.

What is the probability that a seed from a parent plant of genotype Rr will carry the r gene
daser333 [38]
The answer is 50 percent.

Parent plant of genotype Rr will in meiosis produce haploid gametes which will carry either R allele or r allele. Since there are only two possibilities R or r, the probability that seed will get r gene is 1 of 2. This can be presented as 1/2, which is 50%.
