What is the facial nerve
This division calms the body and promotes “rest and digest.”
What is the parasympathetic nervous system
These neurons carry information from sensory receptors to the CNS
What are sensory neurons?
This structure protects the brain and spinal cord by surrounding them with fluid
What are the meninges
This type of neuron carries signals from sensory receptors towards the essential nervous
