There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Anyways back to the topic,
Nervous system of tigers:

Tigers have the same nervous system as most mammals. The nervous system contains a brain, spinal cord and vertebrae. The vertebrae protects the spinal cord and is very important to the tiger's everyday life. 

Following is the description of the nervous system of a Tiger (and all mammals) which comprises of:
• The central nervous system consisting of the brain and the spinal cord.
• The peripheral nervous system consisting of the cranial nerves from the brain, the spinal nerves from the spinal cord and the sense organs.

The sense organs are the structures which receive stimuli, so they are called receptors. They keep the central nervous system informed of any change in the surroundings by initiating nervous messages called impulses which are then transmitted to the central nervous system. A nervous impulse, like an electric current, travels at great speed. It is transmitted within a fraction of a second. For instance, when a person touched your hand from behind, you feel it almost immediately. 

If any action is to be taken in response to the stimulus the central nervous system will send impulses to the muscles. The muscles will then carry out the required effect e.g. the muscles in the arm may contract and the hand is jerked away. Therefore, muscles are known as effectors. The structures which transmit impulses from the receptors to the central nervous system from the latter to the effectors are the nerves.

They have special sense of hearing. They can differentiate between rustling of leaves or a tiger moving through a grass.

Tigers have more volume of brain than the other big cats.

They have a nervous system with complex brain, which has an extremely complex cerebrum.

"Tigers have the same nervous system as most animals." Enough said, but they have better neuro-muscular connections and twitch responses (faster reflexes), yet so do bears. Bears compete with big cats in terms of reflexes as well.
