Lab 7 - Nervous System & Brain I

The nervous system consists of the:

• Central & Peripheral Nervous System

• Heart & Lungs Nervous System

• Stomach & Intestines Nervous System

• Brain & Epithelial Cell Nervous System

T/F: Afferent pathways send information from the central nervous system to the peripheral nerves.

• True

• False

Divergence is a(n)...

• A movie that I watched that did not do too well at the box office.

• mechanism providing input to a signal neuron from multiple sources.

• mechanism for spreading stimulation to multiple neurons or neuronal pools in the CNS.
