Summary Introduction
To explain:
The function of receptor and also explains the different types of effectors controlled by the nervous system.
Concept introduction:
The nervous system is the network of nerve fibers that carry messages from the brain to the spinal cord and various parts of the body. The nervous system comprised of the brain, spinal cord, nerves, and the sensory organs. It also helps in maintaining the homeostasis of the body.

People with MS display many symptoms, including slurred speech, double vision, and poor muscle coordination. What is the direct effect of MS on nerve impulse transmission? Select one: The movement of impulses along neurons is slower than normal. Dendrites cannot be stimulated by acetylcholine, therefore impulses are not generated in neurons. The threshold level of stimulation for neurons is greater than normal. Axons cannot sectete acetylcholine, therefore impulses are not able to travel across synapses.
