No, the nervous system is clearly not responsible for growth.

The nervous system is not responsible for direct long- term functions such as growth. The nervous system is an assembled group of cells focused on producing electrochemical stimuli from sensory receptors all through a network to the site at which a response occurs. It transmits signals to various parts of the body.

It also performs with the endocrine system to react to these experiences. There are two parts to the nervous system, including the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system. CNS involves the brain and spinal cord.

PNS consists mainly of nerves, which are enclosed bundles (think of the expression, bundle of nerves) of long fibers that connect the CNS to every other part of the body. Nerves that communicate signals from the brain are called motor nerves.

The nervous system can do a lot of things but it will not be able to make a person grow. There are so many things that can be done by the nervous system such as controlling all of the mental thoughts that the body would need to go through.

For example, the reason why you can still think, make decisions, learn, and remember things is because of your nervous system. It will allow you to remember names, remember faces, and facts that will be very useful to help you live your everyday life.

At the same time, the nervous system will also be responsible for maintaining homeostasis. The nervous system will usually take some details from the senses and process different information easily.

Yes. The nervous system is a very complex part of an organism that manages its actions and sensory information by transferring signals to and from different areas of the body. Nervous systems are found in most multicellular mammals, but they are diverse in complexity.

The only multicellular organisms that are not comprised of nervous systems include sponges, placozoans, and metazoans, all of which have an incredibly simple internal body structure. The nervous system functions to send signals from one cell to another or send alerts from one component of the body to another and retrieve feedback.

The nervous system also transmits signals to and from different parts of the body. It can also identify and support the body through any environmental changes it must endure, and then it works in coordination with the endocrine system to respond to such events.

The nervous system is not responsible for some direct long−term functions, such as the growth of the individual. The nervous system will be able to make sure that all parts of the body will be able to react to each other.

For example, if you feel that you have hurt your hand, this means that your brain should tell you that you have hurt it, and you should do something about it. If in case you are not going to do this, then you may end up hurting yourself more.

The nervous system will also be in charge of sending electrical and chemical signals all over the body so that the rest of your body will know what to do next.

The nervous system is not responsible for direct long-term functions such as growth; the nervous system directs mainly short term functions; long term functions are coordinated by the endocrine system. The nervous system is divided into the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system.

The central nervous system includes the brain and spinal cord; the peripheral nervous system includes the somatic and autonomic nervous system.

The basic functional system of a nervous system is a neuron, which transmits an impulse of 250mph.

"Direct long term functions such as growth" is not the function of the nervous system.

The nervous system is a collection of nerves and cells which transmit signals to different parts of the human body. Humans have four (4) types of nervous system – the cranial nervous system which are the nerves that connect our brain to our eyes, ears, mouth, and other parts of our head, the peripheral nervous system which consists of our sensory neurons and nerves which connect the central nervous system to our arms, legs, hands, and feet, the central nervous system which is the command center of our body (brain, retina, and spinal cord), and the autonomic nervous system which are nerves that connect our central nervous system to the heart, stomach, lungs, bladder, intestines, and sex organs.
