Nervous System Explained In Simple Words
Science ABC
@scienceabcAbout
Science gets a bad rep for being boring, difficult and for very smart people (see: nerds). But that doesn't have to be the case. At ScienceABC we believe that if science is communicated simply and made relatable and fun, it can be for everyone. As Micheal Jackson said best, "as simple as ABC." So far, we've tackled complex and vast topics like Einstein's Time Dilation, the Immune System, Evolution, Quantum Entanglement, while also asking the questions that nag us at night like "Is the science in the movies accurate?", "Is it possible to have insects the size of humans?", and "Why can I hear a thundering sound in my ear?" So, join us for some simple science with a whole lot of fun thrown in! Subscribe to our channel for your weekly dose of science and don't forget to share our work if you liked it.

Video Description
Your nervous system is why you can see this video, scratch your neck, feel hungry and ask yourself, “Who am I?” The human nervous system is a fascinating system with 86 billion neurons and about the same number of glial cells. The main function of the nervous system is processing information from the environment and communicating information from one part of the body to another. It is divided into the central nervous system (CNS), comprising the brain and the spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system (PNS), comprising all the neurons outside the CNS. The nervous system works by passing along electrical signals through the neurons. The neurons are, then, like the wires that help communication across a city. This electrical signal is called an action potential. When many neurons connect, it forms a neural circuit. The simplest neural circuit is the reflex arc, which only contains three types of neurons: Afferent neurons (from the PNS to the CNS), interneurons (in the CNS) and efferent neurons (from the CNS to the PNS). By studying neural circuits, scientists hope to create robots and computers that can mimic the abilities of the nervous system! #NeuroScienceExploration #NervousSystemInsights #BodyMindConnection Video on Neurons: https://youtu.be/HUuUUJktL6E Video on Glial Cells: https://youtu.be/FaeFaiveb_Q All videos on human body: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLooF83S-sY9Barnz1a4pzH8rqO3dIgPYZ Time stamps: 0:00 - Introduction 0:35 - Function of the nervous system 1:15 - Classification of the nervous system 3:06 - Cells of the nervous system, neurons 4:30 - Glial cells 5:30 - Neural circuits 6:03 - The reflect circuit 6:54 - Conclusion References: https://med.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/Anatomy_and_Physiology/Anatomy_and_Physiology_(Boundless)/14%3A_Autonomic_Nervous_System/14.1%3A_Introduction_to_the_Autonomic_Nervous_System/14.1A%3A_Comparing_the_Somatic_and_Autonomic_Nervous_Systems https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK482431/ https://training.seer.cancer.gov/brain/tumors/anatomy/neurons.html https://organismalbio.biosci.gatech.edu/chemical-and-electrical-signals/nervous-systems/ https://global.oup.com/ushe/disciplines/neuroscience/neuroscience/?cc=in&lang=en& If you wish to buy/license this video, please write to us at [email protected].
