Answer;

-Central nervous system

Explanation;

-The nervous system consists of two main parts: the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system: The central nervous system is made up of the brain and spinal cord.

-The central nervous system controls most functions of the body and mind.It controls all parts of the body. It receives and interprets messages from all parts of the body and sends out instructions. The brain is the center of our thoughts, the interpreter of our external environment, and the origin of control over body movement.

-The spinal cord serves as a conduit for signals between the brain and the rest of the body and also controls simple musculoskeletal reflexes without input from the brain.

Which of the following are NOT functions of the spinal cord?
maksim [4K]

Answer:

Reflexes are not a function of the spinal cord.

Explanation:

The spinal cord is part of the central nervous system and is made up of neurons that go along it (from the end of the brain stem almost to the bottom of the spine).

The spinal cord receives incoming messages from the peripheral nervous system (including the sensory neurons) and pass on messages from the brain to efferent neurons (motor neurons at muscles).

The spinal cord contributes to learning as it passes on the info received from sensory neurons (that there is an obstacle in the path) to the brain and passes on the response from the brain to the muscles (to lift the foot up higher).

The spinal cord is essential for integration as it passes on sensory information  to the brain to determine motor output.

Reflexes are when sensory information is quickly sent straight to motor neurons to move. It does not need to go to the brain (hence does not need to go to the spinal cord) for the reaction as it would be too slow. This is seen when someone who is paraplegic (paralysed at lower torso) can still move their leg in response to the doctor tapping their knee even when they cannot forcibly move their legs.

Therefore reflexes are not a function of the spinal cord.

atroni [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

An organism is a body which is made up of many organ systems and parts. Organs constitute these organ systems. Then we will notice that these organs are made up of different types of tissues. Tissues are further analyzed under microscope to see millions of cells. By increasing the magnifying power, we can see that the cells are made up of further small molecules called atoms.  

So starting form atom leads to further steps and development steps, an organism is formed. Atoms combine to form cells and each cell in the body perform the same function as our body as a whole perform. No smaller components can perform important functions of body other than cells. That’s y cells are known to be as the fundamental unit of life.
