Katawan - Ang Nervous System

the body part that is inside our head controlling how we feel, think, move, etc.

utak ng tao

a cell that is responsible for transmitting nerve impulses between the brain and the rest of the body

neuron

each of a group of long thread-like structures in the body that carry messages between the brain and other parts of the body, sensing things is a result of this process

nerbiyo

any strand of muscle or nervous tissues

kalamnan o nervous tissue

the inner part of the spine containing a mass of nerves that connects the brain to almost all the body parts

utak ng galugod

a long, slender projection of a nerve cell that conducts electrical impulses away from the cell body towards other neurons or target cells

axon

(anatomy) a network of nerves in the abdomen and in front of the aorta that contains several ganglia

solar plexus

(anatomy) a mass of neurons that form a nerve center in the body outside the brain or spinal cord

ganglion

related to or associated with glia or glial cells in the nervous system

glial

a complex arrangement or network of nerve fibers or blood vessels that intersect and intertwine within the body

sistema ng mga ugat

a neuron that acts as an intermediary between sensory neurons and motor neurons, or between other interneurons.

interneuron

a bundle of muscle fibers or nerve fibers bound together by connective tissue

fascicle

a nerve cell that transmits signals from the central nervous system to the muscles, enabling voluntary movements

motor neuron

a region in the brainstem that acts as a bridge, connecting different parts of the brain and aiding in essential functions like sleep regulation and sensory-motor coordination

a division of the autonomic nervous system responsible for regulating rest, digestion, and other essential bodily functions

parasympathetic nervous system

a specialized cell that transmits electrical signals in the nervous system

nerve cell

the complex network of the brain and spinal cord that controls and coordinates bodily functions and processes

central nervous system

a non-neuronal cell in the nervous system that provides support and protection for neurons, helps maintain homeostasis, and participates in signaling and other important functions

glial cell

a network of nerves and ganglia that connects the central nervous system to the organs, muscles, and tissues of the body, facilitating communication and control

peripheral nervous system

the part of the peripheral nervous system that controls and regulates involuntary bodily functions, including heart rate, digestion, and glandular activity

autonomic nervous system

a cluster of nerve cell bodies that mediates communication between the central nervous system and the organs

autonomic ganglion

a network of nerves and ganglia that regulates involuntary bodily functions

autonomic plexus

a network of nerves that prepares the body for stressful or emergency situations by activating the "fight or flight" response

sympathetic nervous system

the part of the peripheral nervous system that is responsible for the voluntary control of body movements and the reception of external stimuli.
