	nervous system. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Invertebrate animals show varying degrees of complexity in their nervous systems, but it is in the vertebrate animals (phylum Chordata, subphylum Vertebrata) that the system reaches its greatest complexity.
		The central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord.
		All of the fibers of the autonomic nervous system are motor channels, and their impulses arise from the nerve tissue itself, so that the organs they innervate perform more or less involuntarily and do not require stimulation to function.

	Nervous System - LoveToKnow 1911
		Three kinds of tissue are found in the nervous system, nerve fibres, nerve cells, and a supporting tissue called neuroglia.
		The white consists of medullated fibres belonging to the central nervous system, and these are splanchnic afferent or centripetal, and efferent or centrifugal.
		The system of the lateral line or acustico-lateralis component is sometimes regarded merely as a subdivision of the somatic sensory.

	Overview of Nervous System Disorders
		The nervous system is a complex, sophisticated system that regulates and coordinates body activities.
		The nervous system is vulnerable to various disorders.
		Physicians who treat nervous system disorders may have to spend a lot of time working with the patient before making a probable diagnosis of the specific condition.

	Nervous System Problems -- Topic Overview
		The nervous system is divided into the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system, or CNS) and the nerve cells that control voluntary and involuntary movements (peripheral nervous system, or PNS).
		The symptoms of a nervous system problem depend on which area of the nervous system is involved and what is causing the problem.
		Nervous system problems may occur slowly and cause a gradual loss of function (degenerative), or they may occur suddenly and cause life-threatening problems (acute).

	Nervous System / Functions of the Nervous System
		The nervous system is the major controlling, regulatory, and communicating system in the body.
		Together with the endocrine system, the nervous system is responsible for regulating and maintaining homeostasis.
		Like other systems in the body, the nervous system is composed of organs, principally the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and

	Nervous System Information
		As the most complex system, the nervous system serves as the body control center and communications electrical-chemical wiring network.
		The nervous system integrates countless bits of information and generates appropriate reactions by sending electrochemical impulses through nerves to effector organs such as muscles and glands.
		The brain and spinal cord are the central nervous system (CNS); the connecting nerve processes to effectors and receptors serve as the peripheral nervous system (PNS).

	Brain and Nervous System
		If you think of the brain as a central computer that controls all the functions of your body, then the nervous system is like a network that relays messages back and forth from it to different parts of the body.
		A part of the peripheral nervous system called the autonomic nervous system is responsible for controlling many of the body processes we almost never need to think about, like breathing, digestion, sweating, and shivering.
		The autonomic nervous system has two parts: the sympathetic and the parasympathetic nervous systems.

		On section, they are seen to consist of a reddish grey substance, traversed by numerous white nerve-fibres: they vary considerably in form and size; the largest are those found in the cavity of the abdomen; the smallest, the microscopic ganglia, which exist in considerable numbers upon the nerves distributed to the different viscera.
		Sometimes a plexus is formed by the primary branches of the trunks of the nerves, as the cervical, brachial, lumbar, and sacral plexuses, and occasionally by the terminal fasciculi, as in the plexuses formed at the periphery of the body.
		Occasionally the elementary nerve-fibres, as in the nerves of special sense, may be brought into connection at their periphery with cells similar to those met with in the grey matter of the brain and ganglia.
