NS Function
The primary functions of the NS include:
• Control and coordination of the body functions (e.g. those involved in
maintaining homeostasis)
• Receiving sensory impulses/information
• Analyzing and interpreting information and initiates responses
• Storing previous stimuli as the experiences or memory which can then guide or
influence future responses.
The NS mediates complex multisystem relationships. Together with the
endocrine system it controls and integrates the activities of the various parts of
the body. Like the connective tissue system, the NS is physically connected to
and communicates with all other systems of the body. Therefore any trauma or
conversely any beneficial effect on the NS has far reaching, multisystem
implications.
Proprioception, Interoception and Nociception
Proprioception
Although proprioception, the ability to sense bodywide and body part position,
location, orientation and movement, has been classically viewed as a muscle and
joint-related-tissue activity, current research supports that both skin and fascia
play an important role in proprioception as well.
