The nervous system sends its messages through a network of nerves that communicate the structures and organs so that the organism works properly. In some situations you can control the response you give to the information of the environment, in others not.

Think about whether you can control the heartbeat, the blood circulation process, or the digestion of food. In these cases you do not voluntarily decide on the enrichment, but in other situations, like running, jumping, singing.



Like human beings, the other vertebrate and invertebrate animals also have control systems, which allow them to coordinate their internal functions and respond to the stimulus of the environment, to which Peretenecen.

To understand the processes that allow the organisms to give the different responses to the stimulus. It is important to know how this constituted the nervous system and on which organ acts. Note the following diagram, in the same summarized in a nutshell the organization of the human nervous system.

The nervous system is formed, in turn, by two subsystems, called Central nervous system and periferico nervous system. Each one is aformado by a series of specialized organs and of structure that allow to maintain the communication and the internal equilibrium in the organism in a constant way, what is known as Homeostatis




The central nervous system coordinates and directs the human body in a symphonic orchestra the director fulfils the essential functions: the different instruments that compose the orchestra, maintain the piece time, indicate the entries of the different Instruments that execute their musicians so that the interpretation is ormonica and coherent. The Director maintains the communication, the Coordiancion and the general control. So also, the central nervous system controls the millions of nerve cells or neurons connected to each other and with different organs, to receive and transmit stimuli and originate complex and coherent responses.
