Sensory nervous system The sensory nervous system is a part of the nervous system responsible for processing sensory information. A sensory system consists of sensory receptors, neural pathways, and parts of the brain involved in sensory perception.ertain receptors are sensitive to certain types of stimuli (for example, different mechanoreceptors respond best to different kinds of touch stimuli, like sharp or blunt objects). Receptors send impulses in certain patterns to send information about the intensity of a stimulus (for example, how loud a sound is).

- Large nerve fibers have thick layers of insulation around them (the myelin sheet) that give them the ability to conduct nerve impulses very quickly. These thick fibers transmit sensory information such as the perception of light touch on the skin and the sense of knowing where the limbs are in space (proprioception).

- The nervous system responds to external signals through nerve cells or nerve fibers (neurons). Receptors also feed signals into the system from the environment. Collectively, sensations from the external environment are collected and sent to the CNS from extero, vicero and propioreceptors through sensory neurons.

Central Nervous System Function Neurons are classified as either motor, sensory, or interneurons. Motor neurons carry information from the central nervous system to organs, glands, and muscles. Sensory neurons send information to the central nervous system from internal organs or from external stimuli.Interneurons relay signals between motor and sensory neurons. The nervous system consists of the brain, spinal cord, and a complex network of neurons.This system is responsible for sending, receiving, and interpreting information from all parts of the body.nterneurons relay signals between motor and sensory neurons.

TEAS Organ Systems How does the nervous system work. Sensory receptors detect stimuli that can occur both inside and outside the body. The conduction of nervous impulses along nerves is extremely fast, making it possible for immediate reflexive responses to protect the body from threats. Once a threat is detected, the nervous system activates the appropriate muscles or glands to respond.

- The sensory neurons are nerves that have a receptor which gathers information about environmental stimuli in order to send this information to the central nervous system. Sensory neurons are able to send information that our organs, such as our skin, intestines, eyes, and so forth, gather from our surroundings.

chapter 1:mind, brain and body Sensory information is transmitted from sensory receptor cells in the peripheral nervous system via sensory neurons to the central nervous system. Sensory information is also known as afferent information—'afferent' means 'coming towards', and in this instance it refers to coming towards the central nervous system. network of nerves that branch out from the CNS to all parts of the body delivers information from the sensory receptors via afferent nerves, to the CNS then transmitting them to the muscular of glandular efferent organs via efferent nerves. the PNS is divided into the somatic and autonomic nervous systems.

The Writer's Ghost The central nervous system relies on pathways and higher order functions to transfer information to various parts of the brain, giving the body sensory and motor ability. There is a constant interaction going on between the brain, spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system (PNS).Pathways are either ascending (sensory) or descending (motor) and contain tracts and nuclei, where signals from one neuron to another creates a synapse.hey are in the skin, joints, muscles and viscera (Noback 155). Sensory systems transmit information regarding intensity. Receptors of pain are called nociceptors. Each of the pathways involve a chain of neurons named accordingly, a first order neuron is a neuron that delivers directly to the CNS or its cell body.

Learn About the Peripheral Nervous System The nervous system consists of the brain, spinal cord, and a complex network of neurons. This system is responsible for sending, receiving, and interpreting information from all parts of the body. The nervous system monitors and coordinates internal organ function and responds to changes in the external environment.otor nervous system cells carry information from the CNS to organs, muscles, and glands. The motor nervous system is divided into the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system. The somatic nervous system controls skeletal muscle as well as external sensory organs such as the skin.

Nervous System Afferent, Efferent, and Mixed Nerves. Some of the nerves in the body are specialized for carrying information in only one direction, similar to a one-way street. Nerves that carry information from sensory receptors to the central nervous system only are called afferent nerves. Other neurons, known as efferent nerves, carry signals only from the central nervous system to effectors such as muscles and glands.

Pinched Nerve 1 Sensory (afferent) nerves send information from the body back to the brain for processing, including information about pain, touch, taste, temperature, or other sensations.  The information travels along the nerve by an electrochemical signal, much like information traveling along an electrical cord. When a nerve is pinched, the signal is interrupted somewhere along its path.

The Human Balance System Sensory input. Maintaining balance depends on information received by the brain from three peripheral sources: eyes, muscles and joints, and vestibular organs (Figure 1) . All three of these sources send information to the brain in the form of nerve impulses from special nerve endings called sensory receptors.roprioceptive information from the skin, muscles, and joints involves sensory receptors that are sensitive to stretch or pressure in the surrounding tissues. For example, increased pressure is felt in the front part of the soles of the feet when a standing person leans forward.
