What structures make up your central nervous system?
Brain and Spinal Cord
![Page 20: What is the function of the nervous system?](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56813cce550346895da676e9/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Neurons that carry messages toward the CNS (brain and spinal cord) are called
sensory neurons
![Page 21: What is the function of the nervous system?](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081417/56813cce550346895da676e9/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Why are reflexes much faster than a normal response?
The impulse only travels to the spinal cord, not the brain.
