Overview

The neural system and the endocrine system jointly coordinate and integrate body activities so that organs work in a synchronized way. The neural system provides quick point-to-point communication through neurons, while hormones provide chemical integration. Neurons detect, receive, and transmit sti

Key Concepts

The neural system is made

The neural system is made of specialized neurons that detect, receive, and transmit stimuli. It works with the endocrine system to coordinate body act

The central neural system includes

The central neural system includes the brain and spinal cord. It is the main site for information processing and control.

The peripheral neural system includes all

The peripheral neural system includes all nerves associated with the CNS. It is divided into the somatic neural system and the autonomic neural system

A neuron is the microscopic structural

A neuron is the microscopic structural and functional unit of the neural system. It has a cell body, dendrites, and an axon. The cell body contains Ni

Multipolar neurons have one axon

Multipolar neurons have one axon and two or more dendrites, bipolar neurons have one axon and one dendrite, and unipolar neurons have one axon only. A
