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.

<span>Unlike nuclear DNA typing, mtDNA isolation is quite easy because its number is quite large. mtDNA copies rang from 100 to 10,000 per cell. It is also more stable and stronger than the nuclear DNA; that is why even unsolved cases from years ago use mtDNA typing as reference for possible conclusion.</span>

Explanation:

 

Worms are invertebrate animals with bilateral symmetry. Worms have a definite anterior (head) end and a posterior (tail) end. The ventral surface of worms and other organisms is the bottom side of the body, often closest to the ground. The dorsal surface is located on the upper part of the body facing the sky. The lateral surfaces are found on the left and right sides of the body. Figure 3.35 compares bilateral symmetry in a whale shark and a swimming plychaete worm. Organs for sensing light, touch, and smell are concentrated in the heads of worms. They can detect the kinds of environment they encounter by moving in the anterior direction
