Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The central nervous system perceives, gathers, interprets and records incoming sensory information and also sends out communication destined for muscles, glands and internal organs such as the stomach and the heart.
Key Takeaway: Think of the central nervous system as the command center of processing and disseminating information in your body. This system receives sensory information from such places as the skin (such as hot surface, pinprick) and communicates this information to the brain. This information is then transmitted to organs such as the muscle to take action such as withdraw your hand from a hot plate or pull away from a needle prick.
