The nervous system of a crayfish contains a ventral nerve cord. This nerve cord transmits signals to the ganglion cells. The ganglion cells are in the tail of the crayfish in which it controls the muscles of the tail as well. The anatomy of the crayfish is simple yet all of its functions are important to their day-to-day lives. They are mainly composed of extensor muscles, gonads, hearts, encephalon, stomach, eyes, green gland, mouth, mandible, esophagus, maxilliped, ventral nerve cord, and ganglion

COMMENTS ON CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM AND RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY Radiological Anatomy Radiological anatomy is a medical specialty that employs the use of imaging to both diagnose and treat disease visualised within the human body. It explores various tissue densities to be able to determine structures. It could either be invasive or non-invasive. Radiologists use an array of imaging techniques which include: • Conventional radiography (X-ray) • Ultrasound • Computerized Tomography

What is the job of the central nervous system (CNS)? The central nervous system consists of the brain, the spinal cord, and a complex network of neurons. They are protected by the meninges which are three layers of connective tissue and the central nervous system is also encased in bone while being surrounded by cerebrospinal fluid which also adds an additional protection from injury. The brain is our central control center that processes many body functions and sensory information whereas the

According to an article titled Overview of the Autonomic Nervous System by Phillip Low, MD, he states “…The autonomic nervous system regulates certain body processes, such as blood pressure and the rate of breathing. This system works automatically (autonomously), without a person’s conscious effort.” He also states “…The autonomic nervous system is the part of the nervous system that supplies the internal organs, including the blood vessels, stomach, intestine, liver

The Nervous System Noradrenaline - Noradrenaline is a hormone that is produced naturally by the body. It is synthesized and released by the central nervous system, and also by a division of the autonomic nervous system called the sympathetic nervous system. Norepinephrine acts on target cells by binding to and activating noradrenergic receptors located on the cell surface. It is the main neurotransmitter of the sympathetic nerves in the cardiovascular system and is released as a response to stress

The SNS, which in partnership with the Parasympathetic Nervous System (PNS) make up the Autonomic Nervous System, is also responsible for shutting down many unnecessary systems for the time being. The SNS shuts down what is not an essential part of the immune system, it stops producing saliva, it stops performing many of the parts of digestion, and it decreases the urine output. All of these systems that are shut down are only shut down temporarily, and almost never in total
