Explain the functions of a nervous system

Biology
1 answer:
nika2105 [10]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

It has 3 main functions

1.Sensory. The sensory function of the nervous system involves collecting information from sensory receptors that monitor the body’s internal and external conditions.

2.Integration. The process of integration is the processing of the many sensory signals that are passed into the central nervous system at any given time. These signals are evaluated, compared, used for decision making, discarded or committed to memory as deemed appropriate.

3.Motor. Sends a signal to the Corresponding effector then releases a hormone or moves a part of the body to respond to the stimulus.

Murljashka [212]

Answer:1) medulla to the diaphragm, increasing the rate of breathing

Explanation:

Basically involuntary respiration is controlled by the Respiration centers in the brain Stem. They  are group of respiratory neurons ;  the dorsal and ventral respiratory groups located in the medulla oblongata , and the pontine respiratory group located in the Pons varolii.

The  primary function of this center is for creation and maintenance  of  respiration rhythms and  adjustment of the sequences  to fluctuation  in body homeostatic balance .

In order to regulate respiration rate and its depth, it collects its input signals from chemoreceptors ( cells that generate biological signals from chemical substances), mechanoreceptors( receptors which relay external physical stimuli of touch,  and pressure  to internal stimulus  by regulation of gated ion channels), the hypothalamus and the cerebral cortex. The fluctuation in the levels of plasma C02, oxygen, and blood pH, stimulated the input progression.

Therefore an elevated C02 blood levels, marked by low pH send input signals to the respiratory  centers in the medulla.The latter sends signals to the respiratory muscles (and the diaphragm,)  to initiate mechanism of rapid  breathing to exhaled more C02 so that the acidity of the blood is reduced..

Why do hydrogen atoms form a molecule but helium atoms do not?
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

In terms of old school electron shells - One Hydrogen atom on it's own has an empty shell, and therefore to fill the shell it needs another electron. In the case of Helium, it already has two electrons at the same energy level - so it cannot accept any new electrons i.e. it cannot form new bonds.
