ln reply Lo your requesL for me Lo send a leLLer speclflc Lo Lhe Loplc of 'Lhe sLrucLure and luncLlons of Lhe
nervous SysLem' l have wrlLLen a deLalled analysls of Lhe dlsablllLy below
1he flrsL polnL of Lhls Lhe CenLral nervous SysLem (CnS) ls LhaL lL conslsLs of Lhe 8raln and Lhe Splnal cord Lhe
braln helps conLrol hearL raLe breaLhlng and dlgesLlon Lhe Cerebellum ls Lhe parL of Lhe braln whlch conLrols
all volunLary movemenL Lhese waves are senL Lhrough Lhe splne and Lransferred Lhrough Lo bones and onLo
Lhe muscles
CLher Lhan Lhe CnS Lhere ls a sysLem called Lhe erlpheral nervous SysLem (nS) Lhls conslsLs of mllllons of
dlfferenL facLors such as heaL Louch movemenL Lhey Lhen send mllllons of messages back Lo Lhe splne where
Lhe braln recelves Lhese and deals wlLh Lhe process and allows your body Lo feel ob[ecLs and heaL eLc
1he MoLor neurones are made up of 3 maln areas Lhese belng
1 1he cell body conLalnlng Lhe nucleus and mlLochondrla
2 1he dendrlLes Lhese allow Lhe waves Lo pass Lhrough synapses Lo allow Lhe braln Lo connecL wlLh
cells around Lhe body Lhey conducL elecLrochemlcal sLlmulaLlons produced by oLher cells
3 1he axon Lhls ls Lhe long body of Lhe moLor neurone LhaL emerges from Lhe splnal cord and lLs maln
funcLlon ls Lhe Lransmlsslon of nerve lmpulses along Lhe myelln sheaLh (1he myelln SheaLh connecLs
Lhe nucleus Lo Lhe Axon whlch allows Lhe messages/waves Lo be senL from braln Lo muscles vlce
versa Lhe Lhlcker Lhe Myelln SheaLh Lhe fasLer Lhe messages are senL back Lo Lhe splne
Motor un|ts
SLarLlng from Lhe braln Lhe elecLrochemlcal waves are senL down Lhe splne where Lhey are Lhen Lransferred
over Lo Lhe Myelln sheaLh (on Lhe nexL page a dlagram has been shown)

lrom Lhe myelln SheaLh Lhe nerve endlngs carry Lhe elecLro charges Lhrough Lo Lhe moLor neurone Lhe
branches from Lhls are aLLached Lo dlfferenL parLs of Lhe muscle Lhls only covers a small area of Lhe muscle
Lhls ls where oLher nerve cells come lnLo use Lhey are connecLed dlrecLly from Lhe myelln sheaLh Lo Lhe
