The
brain and spinal cord (the CNS)
function as the control center. They receive data and feedback from the sensory organs and from nerves throughout the body, process the information, and send commands back out. Nerve pathways of the PNS carry the incoming and outgoing signals.
What part of the body process information and sends instructions?
The brain
is the body’s control centre: it sends messages to your body through a network of nerves called “the nervous system”, which controls your muscles, so that you can walk, run and move around.
What sends signals from the brain to the glands and muscles?
Motor neurons
have a long axon and short dendrites and transmit messages from the central nervous system to the muscles (or to glands).
Which part of brain is a routing center for incoming sense signals?
Located in the central part of the brain,
the thalamus
processes and coordinates sensory messages, such as touch, received from the body.
Which part of the nervous system takes the information received from the senses makes sense out of it makes decisions and sends commands out to the muscles and the rest of the body group of answer choices?
The CNS
is the main control center of the body—it takes in sensory information, organizes and synthesizes this input, then provides instructions for motor output to the rest of the body. The CNS is made up of the brain and spinal cord.
How do you know if your nervous system is damaged?

What is the process information and sends instruction?
The
central processing unit
consists of electronic circuits that interpret and execute program instructions, as well as communicate with the input, output, and storage devices. It is the central processing unit that actually transforms data into information. Data is the raw material to be processed by a computer.
Which organ is part of our nervous system?
The brain and the spinal cord
are the central nervous system. The nerves that go through the whole body make up the peripheral nervous system.

Which nerves carry messages from the sense organ to the brain?
the nervous which carry message from the sense organs to the brain is
sensory nerves
.
What kind of tissue sends messages from the brain to the rest of the body?
Your nervous system uses specialized cells called
neurons
to send signals, or messages, all over your body. These electrical signals travel between your brain, skin, organs, glands and muscles. The messages help you move your limbs and feel sensations, such as pain.
Which is located at the top of the brain and is responsible for processing sensory information?
Cerebral cortex
: The cerebral cortex is the outermost layer that surrounds the brain. It is composed of gray matter and filled with billions of neurons used to conduct high-level executive functions. … It is responsible for processing sensory information and contains the somatosensory cortex.
What part of the brain controls the 5 senses?
The parietal lobe
gives you a sense of ‘me’. It figures out the messages you receive from the five senses of sight, touch, smell, hearing and taste. This part of the brain tells you what is part of the body and what is part of the outside world.
What are the two major division of the nervous system?
The nervous system as a whole is divided into two subdivisions:
the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS)
.
Which sends information from other parts of the body all the way to the brain?
The nervous system
transmits signals between the brain and the rest of the body, including internal organs.
