Nervous System Physiology
Virtually every cell, tissue, organ and system of
your body is controlled and regulated by your nervous
system. And while the complex chemical and electrical
nature of this vast network is best left to others, here
are four key things you should know:
Efferent Communications
Nerve impulses are sent from the brain out to the
organs and tissues of your body.
Afferent Communications
Nerve impulses are sent back to the brain to make
sure everything is working correctly.
Compressive Lesions
If spinal vertebrae pinch or choke nerve tissue,
signals going from or to the affected organ or tissue
can be diminished. (i.e., constipation.)
Facilitative Lesions
If spinal vertebrae chafe or irritate nerve tissue,
signals going from or to the affected organ or tissue
can be excited. (i.e., diarrhea.)
The nervous system is vulnerable where delicate nerve
tissue comes into proximity with the moving bones of
your spine. That’s why we're interested in your spine!
