Begin by understanding the components of the nervous system. The nervous system is divided into two main parts: the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS).
The central nervous system consists of the brain and spinal cord. It is responsible for processing and integrating information received from the peripheral nervous system.
Sensory receptors are part of the peripheral nervous system. They detect stimuli and send sensory input to the CNS for processing.
Sensory input refers to the information that is transmitted from sensory receptors to the CNS. This is part of the communication between the PNS and CNS.
Motor output is the response generated by the CNS after processing sensory input. It involves sending signals from the CNS to muscles or glands via the PNS. Integration is the specific function of the CNS, where it processes and interprets sensory input to make decisions and coordinate responses.
