Nervous

​ ​

=__**Functions **__ =


 * To control the body
 * One of the major systems for maintaining homeostasis
 * Sends signals from one cell to the other
 * It sends signals by chemicals called hormones that help it to diffuse to different sites

=**__Homeostasis__ ** =
 * The Nervous System has the ability to control other parts of the body that help maintain homeostasis
 * If the body needs to slow down heart rate to stay in balance then it relies on the nervous system to control the heart rate
 * The nervous system can help regulate breathing to maintain homeostasis by sending signals to the respiratory system to help control the breathing
 * The hypothalamus controls release of hormones which aid in homeostasis by the pituitary gland, which is stimulated by the nervous system from the posterior part. So basically, hormones such as oxytocin, and vasopressin are released via the endocrine glands through the nervous system.
 * The hypothalamus contains neurons that control release from the anterior pituitary as well.

= __The Nervous System related to the Endocrine System__ = The Nervous and Endocrine Systems are related in three main areas: chemical, function, and structure. They work parallel with eachother and together in maintaining homeostasis, reproduction, and development. Both aid the bodies organs to communicate and function with eachother.
 * Chemically: Both the Nervous System and Endocrine System share the same transmitters just in different ways. Both systems have to use hormones to function normally. Example: Norepineprine is used by they Nervous System as a neurotransmitter while the Endocrine System uses it as an adrenaline hormone.
 * Functionally: both systems work together to maintain homeostasis and quickly respond to any changes that occur either inside or outside the body. Other than working with one another, both systems also affect eachother. For instance, the development of the Nervous System is controlled by the Endocrine System and the adrenal medulla is under the control of the nerve cells.
 * Structurally: Many of the Endocrine System's glands and tissues are located in the Nervous System. Such as the hypothalamus and the posterior pituitary that both influence the function of a gland and its release of hormones
 * //The hypothalamus in the brain helps connect the nervous and endocrine systems. Nerves send signals through the body encouraging different hormones to be produced in different situations.//

=__[|Link]The Nervous System related to the Muscular System__ = =The nervous system is related to the muscular system because the nervous system is in control of how the muscles move. = =<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 70%; line-height: 115%;">Here are some examples of the nervous system and muscular system interacting: =

= =
 * The brain sends signals to the muscles that tell them the information about body position and movement.
 * The brain sends signals to control skeletal muscle
 * The nervous system can control the rate of how fast you can eat be control those muscles

= __[|Link]The Nervous System Related to the Skeletal System__ = The nervous system and skeletal system are related because they both use each other for function. The nervous system runs the control of the skeleton and the skeleton protects the nervous system. Here are some examples: = = = __MLA Citation How the Nervous Systems relate to other Systems __.

 * Bones give the nervous system calcium which it needs to function
 * The skull protects the brain from injury
 * The vertebrae protect the spinal cord from injury
 * The Brain connects to the joints receptors to control their movement
 * The brain controls the position of bones by controlling muscles
